A Great line from Gail Collins OpEd piece in todays NYT....
Really, if McCain is going to keep changing into new people, the campaign should send out notices. (Come to a rally for the next president of the United States. Today he’s a vegetarian!)

The rest of the piece is a scream. Ms Collins is finding her voice and it is, it seems, as snarky as Queen Bee Dowd without all the obscure literary and cultural references that Dowd loves to toss around like rose petals before her own majesty.

3. Wow. This whole column is hilarious. Great for forwarding to your r/w friends.
She really makes McCain's campaign sound like the joke it is.

4. "We are the fundamentals!"
I also liked this:

And since McCain’s willingness to make speeches that have nothing to do with his actual beliefs is not matched by an ability to give them, he wound up sounding like Bob Dole impersonating Huey Long.


:rofl:


Great column. :thumbsup:
