Cons Are Funny
Oliver Willis — They get their asses kicked from coast to coast, and yet the yahoos at Powerline are not only offering Democrats advice, they’re advising Barack Obama to be like… George W. Bush. I kid you not. ...

Obama Should Talk Like Bush
Outside The Beltway | OTB — ... and Josh Marshall think that Hinderacker is crazy here.  Au contraire.  He’s outlining the GOP’s best chance at regaining the White House in 2012. ...

Josh Marshall cannot believe what John Hindraker wrote.
Althouse — Link to Marshall (who misspells Hinderaker -- think rake, Josh, not rack). Here's the quote: Obama thinks he is a good talker, but he is often undisciplined when he speaks. He needs to understand that as President, his words will be scrutinized and will have impact whether he intends it or not.

The last time we saw that construction, it was ‘extraordinarily scandal free,’ and the context was the epic, multi-part schooling of Powerline on that very subject, executed not by a snark blog, but by David Kurtz and Josh Marshall at TPM.

The next time Marshall and Hinderaker crossed paths, it was apropos this astonishing claim: In the eight years he ...
