A drawing by Charles M. Schulz shows how John McCain would have us see him — young and energetic, and ready to move into the White House.

Choosing Sides
I’m amused by how Republicans insisted it’s the Democrats who made an issue of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy, which simply isn’t true. It’s yet another straw man they’ve set up to knock down.
The Daily Show’s Samantha Bee, mother of two, was at the RNC. She did the best job I have ever seen of getting average Republicans to consider the implications of saying that teen pregnancy is a private, family matter that shouldn’t be politicized.
McCain’s faint praise
“McCain tells cheering GOP he’ll change Washington”
I don’t get it. When you want change, you vote for the other party. That’s how it works. How can McCain say he’ll change Washington without repudiating Bush?
Batman joker Colbert
Stephen Colbert has finished his Make McCain Exciting Green Screen Challenge. He gets in a couple of good critiques of two of the final entries, including an excellent Batman-related joke the submission is lacking.
GOP glop
Republicans now belong to the party of working mothers and special needs kids? Sounds good, but I think the Democrats were there first, a long time ago.
I hate taking pot shots, but…
I don’t care for those “I was just thinking” things, but I just watched Georgie’s live-but-remote appearance at the RNC, and I was just thinking…
- Laura Bush looks great and, yes, red is her color.
- Bush — George, not Laura — tried very hard to appear Reaganesque.
- Did Jenna Bush abstain from sex until her wedding night?
- Is Jenna’s unmarried sister abstaining?
- John McCain sure showed good judgment marrying into $100 million.
- Country first? We have to listen to Tody Keith? Or is he a Democrat now?
