Dana MILBANK is talking about "a dainty, girlish bowling style"???
Media Bistro: Milbank: Obama Has "Dainty, Girlish" Bowling Style

Earlier (Thursday), Dana Milbank (of the Washington Post) held a Washington Sketch chat where he covered such topics as, well, we can't even begin to explain....

***

Nativeofpennsylvan, IA: Dana: ...So Obama admits on "Hardball" that he really hasn't kicked the nicotine habit. To those of us who tried to quit many time before succeeding, no big deal. Except that Jake Tapper wonders why his campaign lied when he asked them directly. Big deal, little deal?

Dana Milbank: I'm afraid this is three strikes against Obama: First he bowls a 37 -- with that dainty, girlish delivery.

Then he tells off an autograph seeker.

And now he's fibbing about nicotine addiction?

Any one of these could doom him. Recall, if you will, that John Kerry's campaign was doomed when it was learned that he wore Turnbull & Asser shirts and kept his fingernails long so that he could better play the classical guitar....

1. Milbank was only too happy to mock Kerry.
And Al Gore.

4. Obama would do well to practice a bit and bowl again
Seriously... still 18 days until the PA primary.

7. I guess I didn't notice that his form was so off. The ball did go in the gutter...
but, as he said, he hadn't bowled for quite a few years. Most of the commentators just said that he should stick to basketball, at which he's pretty good. (Then, of course, Hillary did jokingly challenge him to a bowl-off.)

9. dana milbank sounds like a
mediawhore with nothing better to do than tear down a candidate a la Al Gore and John Kerry..but I bet he thought fucking bush was manly on the Lincoln declaring "Mission Accompished".

This says everything about dana milbank and nothing about Barack Obama.

What a waste of ink.
