LIVE FROM NEW YORK! IT'S THE CARNIVAL OF THE INSANITIES !
Dr. Sanity — ... ugly bit of moral equivalence. 17. Good Lord! And he's not even an opining politician! Bikini olympics? 18. The American Psychological Association wants you to go green. And manipulating behavior is what they do. Isn't that special? You've got to wonder who funds studies about turds on the tongue? 19. Bigfoot was real, after all? Or is it a big hoax? 20. Kinda ironic, huh? BigEgO is really just a big hoax. *************************************** Carnival of the ...

Searching for moral clarity when there is nothing but ambiguity.
INSTAPUTZ — Hemingway: When asked "At what point does a baby get human rights, in your view?," McCain answered "At the moment of conception." Obama's answer here was flaming-dirigible bad: Whether you are looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity is, you know, above my pay grade. That spectacularly inept metaphor is going to haunt Obama throughout the rest of the campaign. News flash: There's not a job on the planet above the pay grade of the President of ...

Hussein: “That Question Is Above My Pay Grade”
Pat Dollard | Young Americans — Sunday, August 17, 2008 NRO McCain As Good As Obama Was Bad [Mark Hemingway] I don’t want to get to overheated about what occurred tonight, but I do think McCain had a clear and decisive victory over Obama. It all comes down to something that Phil Bredesen, the Democratic governor of Tennessee recently said about Obama: “Instead of giving big speeches at big stadiums, he needs to give straight-up 10-word answers to people at Wal-Mart about how he would improve their lives.” By that standard, McCain did extremely well and ...

This Just In - There Is An "Moral And Ethical Element" To Abortion Debate
JustOneMinute — Mark Hemingway of The Corner pans Obama's preparation (none in evidence) and response ("craptacular") to the easily foreseen abortion question at last nights forum. With lack of preparation for the obvious question as the topic, Mr. Hemingway cites Obama's blow up when given a chance during a debate to re-spin his "bitterly clinging" comment.

A Chequer-Board of Nights and Days — ... who gained the most from the interviews. This fits in with a lot of the e-mails that I received regarding the appearances. Now, the e-mails that I received are from people predisposed to voting for McCain, but at the same time, many of those people have had critical things to say about McCain in the past. Again, since I didn't watch the program, I don't want to pass judgment just yet on how the candidates did respectively. But it seems safe to say that all of the things people said in the past about the town hall setting being favorable to John McCain are true. Maybe that ...

Your Abbreviated Pundit Round-up
Daily Kos — ... but Santorum would have been greater. Byron York: "In an unusual setting, [McCain's] experience overwhelmed Obama" and made him seem small in comparison. While most other reviewers give credit to both men for good, albeit different, performances (see below, emphasis on Obama's thoughtfulness and McCain's brevity and personal history), I'll demonstrate who's really 'small' with my review (hint: it's moi.) Don't try this at home; I'm a professional. Mark Hemingway: I'll go you one better, Byron, and deliberately misinterpret this: ...
