Mr. Prelutsky is always one of my favorites.

Compounding the sin, once, when asked how he had fared at Syracuse, Biden, not wishing to be seen as a braggart, modestly said that he’d graduated
in the top half of his class. He had in fact graduated 76th in a class of 85. |
| Quote: |
I not only don’t think that Biden is the best choice Obama could have made, I’m not sure he could have made a worse one. How can anyone look at
this ticket and not find it mind-boggling? In a less bizarre world, Biden, a man about to turn 66, a six-term U.S. senator, would be at the top of the
ticket, and Barack Obama, a very junior senator, a man I would call an empty suit if it weren’t an insult to clothing, would, as a sop perhaps to
black voters, be at the bottom. To me, it’s like making a Batman movie in which Bruce Wayne stays home and knits a sweater while his butler, Alfred,
fights crime in Gotham City.

Oh my goodness! How on earth can I POSSIBLY decide which paragraphs to quote here? Every word of this is great. I think this is one of "the other
Limbaugh's" best.
| Quote: | | If
you are a liberal darling, like Bill Clinton was for a decade and a half, you can exploit, abuse and sexually harass women and still be considered a
champion of women's rights. When you're his equally leftist wife, you can be the commander in chief of bimbo eruptions, obliterate your husband's
victims' characters, and be celebrated as a feminist icon. |
| Quote: | So
when it comes to the liberals' treatment of Sarah Palin, it's business as usual -- and then some.
For the past three decades, these guardians of the sacred codes of political correctness have been lecturing us about the patronizing treatment of
women, telling us that any whiff of disparaging or discriminatory innuendo is evidence of full-blown sexism and actionable in the court of public
opinion.
Yet when Sarah Palin comes along and injects her pretty conservative countenance into the public square, she and her family are immediately fair game
for the liberal talking class.
They can violate every last one of their strictures against sexism with liberal fraternal impunity.
|
| Quote: |
After she delivered a phenomenal convention speech, they rushed to inform viewers she couldn't possibly have written it -- something I've never
heard about any other orator in the wake of such a barnburner. Do they think she's just too pretty to have come up with those lines on her own?

And he goes on to talk about the liberals' hypocrisy about Gov. Palin.

Little Dick Morris and his wife seem to be of the opinion, like uber Clintonista Howard Wolfson opined in the wake of the Palin speech, that
the Democrats have landed in a big pile of poo.
I note, in looking at this morning's numbers, that Gallup's tracking poll of registered voters ending 9/4 shows a four point lead for Senator Obama
at 48-44, where last week we were being told by some Democrats that it was over as Mr. Obama had reached the 50% mark.
Rasmussen's track ending 8/26 had Senator McCain up by one at 47-46 while the current number ending 9/4 has it 48-46 in Senator Obama's favor.
All in all, it seems to make it clear that what ever bounce Mr. Obama got out of his convention was both blunted and short lived. Given that Governor
Palin's influence has yet to be fully felt in the numbers I have to agree with Morris and McGann... the Democrats are in trouble.
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch... if you ask me.

Posted at Real Clear Politics
The convention floor was abuzz all yesterday with the news of the CBS poll showing a dead tie (42-42) in the presidential race. And the poll,
conducted through Wednesday, couldn't reflect the impact of John McCain's speech, or the full impact of Sarah Palin's late Wednesday night. It
reflected opinions only after the Democrats' convention, Barack Obama's incredible speech, the Palin selection and the early, Gustav-depressed GOP
gathering.
That augers ill for the Democrats. Tonight's polling could bring evidence that the Obama candidacy is in big trouble.
<< snipped >>
The turning point was the designation of Palin and the personal attacks on her. By stirring up a storm, Democrats assured that Palin would speak to 37
million Americans - just a million fewer than watched Obama's acceptance speech.
Anecdotal evidence already suggests that women may have a gut reaction to the establishment's sexist assault on a woman candidate - and flock to
McCain. |

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Senator Barack Obama will increasingly lean on prominent Democratic women to undercut Gov. Sarah Palin and Senator John McCain ,
dispatching Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to Florida on Monday and creating a rapid-response team to deploy female surrogates to battleground states,
Obama advisers said on Thursday.
Mrs. Clinton’s campaign event in Florida, her first for Mr. Obama since the Democratic convention last month, will include a forceful response to
the searing attacks and fresh burst of energy that Ms. Palin injected into the race with her convention speech on Wednesday night, Obama aides
said.

I'll bet Senator Clinton will just LOVE being referred to as a "female surrogate".

BIG DILEMMA: OPRAH BALKS AT HOSTING SARAH PALIN; STAFF DIVIDED

| Quote: | Oprah Winfrey may have introduced Democrat Barack Obama to the women of America -- but the talkshow queen is not rushing to
embrace the first woman on a Republican presidential ticket!
Oprah's staff is sharply divided on the merits of booking Sarah Palin, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
"Half of her staff really wants Sarah Palin on," an insider explains. "Oprah's website is getting tons of requests to put her on, but Oprah and a
couple of her top people are adamantly against it because of Obama." |
Oprah's show is hers. She can book or not book guests at her pleasure. Period.
In terms of business wisdom, displaying partisanship in this way may not be the wisest choice. Also, like it or not, many of her audience are women
who have gender loyalty. Oprah fed that with her, "You go girl!" line. Favoring Sen. Obama over Sen. Clinton already cost Oprah viewers in that part
of her audience. Snubbing Gov. Palin would not only forgo a one-day uptick in viewers, but might also lose her more of her "You go girl!" viewers.
But this choice is a question of business wisdom, not right and wrong - how much street cred is she willing to spend, how much will it cost her, and
what rebuilding that street cred might entail.
