Life Imitates "West Wing"

KT - did you see MODO's shout out to you in the NY Times this am?

Well at least its likely to be entertaining.

If MoDo gave you a shout out KT, take it as an insult.

Are you trying to say that Hillary is really a republican?
.
I keed, I keed.

KT-Modo didn't insult you but you might want to watch your back walking down any dark alleys.

Hey this reminds me, where's AMC been lately? Is she in perma-hangover yet?

and during daylight too.

AMC=Cuba Gooding Jr. in Jerry Maguire

Following the trail of green, Cliff.

"She polled her soccer-mom girlfriends in Manhattan and got the same reaction. ''He's a hottie,'' said one. ''Hot? SO HOT!!!!! THAT UNIFORM!'' said another. And a third panted, ''That swagger. George Bush in a pair of jeans is a treat to watch.'' (If it gets any hotter, Wal-Mart may have to ban The Journal.)"

"The tail hook caught the last cable, jerking the fighter jet from 150 m.p.h. to zero in two seconds. Out bounded the cocky, rule-breaking, daredevil flyboy, a man navigating the Highway to the Danger Zone, out along the edges where he was born to be, the further on the edge, the hotter the intensity.

He flashed that famous all-American grin as he swaggered around the deck of the aircraft carrier in his olive flight suit, ejection harness between his legs, helmet tucked under his arm, awestruck crew crowding around. Maverick was back, cooler and hotter than ever, throttling to the max with joystick politics. Compared to Karl Rove's ''revvin' up your engine'' myth-making cinematic style, Jerry Bruckheimer's movies look like Lizzie McGuire.
This time Maverick didn't just nail a few bogeys and do a 4G inverted dive with a MiG-28 at a range of two meters. This time the Top Gun wasted a couple of nasty regimes, and promised this was just the beginning."

Hey, who wouldn't want a shout out from a literary and journalistic giant like Maureen Dowd?

AMC is over at The Daily Beast pretty regularly posting about Palin, funny enough.

Cincy, don't sugarcoat it. Tell us how you really feel about Ms. Dowd, who IMHO, some would say she is a, "a dried up old spinster," if she lived before 1950.

If Hillary takes the job, whom would she pick as her deputy?

KT -- OT but did you see this about Waxman?

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/11/19/dingell-waxman-chair/

Mo Dowd seriously needs to lay off the Clinton hatred. We get it already. I picture her in a stylish nursing home 30 years from now screaming about the oiliness of the Clenis as she is eating her poached salmon. I suspect she wanted to be the one giving the BJ.

We are about to hit a serious recession or a minor depression, our air is fouled, our credibility in tatters, and Mo is still obsessed with the Clintons. What is wrong with her?

Some sort of envy, trifecta...but I can't say which.

More over at the Crypt on the Waxman/Dingell vote.

trifecta, you are cruel. But very funny, and worth a repeat: "I picture her in a stylish nursing home 30 years from now screaming about the oiliness of the Clenis as she is eating her poached salmon. I suspect she wanted to be the one giving the BJ."

Now I can't get that image out of my head, thank you very much.

Kevin Drum weighs in on the whole Team of Rivals thingy. Kevin Drum - Mother Jones Blog: Team of Rivals? Seems about right to me.

hey cinci
.
Did you get that email from Harry Reid's website?

sgw, what did it say? "Get off my lawn?"

wvng
.
The title was "I need your help"
.
Needless to say the body of the email left me very dissappointed. I was hoping the title referred to shoving something big and painful somewhere it was never meant to go in response to the Lieberman situation.

What amazes me about Hillary Clinton is the universal agreement that she is tougher and more knowledgeable than anyone else in the room. I can't recall a political figure with that kind of unanimous bipartisan reputation for excellence. Absolutely everyone seems to agree that she is the toughest, best-informed person in the game. That is really something else to set yourself apart like that among a group of the already elites.
