"I didn't major in math. I majored in miracles, and I still believe in them." Hmmm... So OK, Huck doesn't know how to add, but can he multiply the loaves?
Counterpoint: Steyn has some good lines: the defining McCain moment came back in the fall when he responded to Hillary Clinton’s support for public funding for a Woodstock museum. If you’re under 70 and have no idea what “Woodstock” is or why it would require its own museum, ask your gram’pa. But McCain began by saying he was sure Mrs. Clinton was right and that it was a major “cultural and pharmaceutical event.” Which is a cute line. And McCain wasn’t done yet: “I wasn’t there,” he said. “I was tied up at the time.”
And the crowd roared its approval. It’s not just a joke, though it’s a pretty good one. It’s not merely a way of reminding folks you’ve stood up to torture and you can shrug it off with almost 007-cool insouciance. But it also tells Republican voters that, when Senator Clinton offers up some cobwebbed boomer piety, you know a piñata when you see one and you’re gonna clobber it.
That, I must admit, is something Mitt never mastered (perhaps never will): how to clobber the piñata when it dangles in front of you. Maybe it's a Mormon thing?
Beautiful line. Thanks AI. Romney has got me now, though. Still can't get over that speech. Thank Heavens we have people so decent as him around. Hope he gives it another try in '12 or '16. A good man.
What do you think of this idea? Sounds pretty good to me. If Mitt can extract the best of his campaign, jettison the chaff, and run for guv in Michigan, to build up his credentials -- and, more importantly, regain some of the economic health there, after some Canadian broad ran it into the ground -- he would be in a good position for the future. And Michigan would be a much better springboard for national office than Massachusetts...
Sounds awful, another govship. Maybe he should take Teddy's Senate seat when he retires. Gonna be soon, no? Seems he's detested and so has no chance at vp or cabinet posts with Mac.
