Thanks again for the ping!

good Steyn, I see a landslide a comin' (or a witch riding in to the "rescue" at the last minute-- to make it closer)

'We've got better vision. We've got better ideas. We've got real plans. And we've got better hair," said John Kerry...

Yeah, but we've got Jenna...

I'm forever amazed at the gall of Democrats. If every American weighed three hundred pounds, lived in a mansion, and had five Cadillacs, they'd still be pitching the class-warfare shtick. Dems don't get it, the problem with Americans is not lack of food, but too much food and not enough exercise. They should look at selling the rich-have-all-the-exercise-equipment-and-the-poor-have-none routine to the American public rather than the shopworn tale about the miserable, hungry poor (about 97% of Americans according to Dems).

Remember Bill Bradley in 2000? He tried to spin that one about the girl in school who was so hungry she couldn't concentrate on her schoolwork, and when the teacher asked her why she was hungry, the girl replied that it wasn't her turn to eat that day. That one's as old as the great Depression, but the Dems never get tired of telling the same old lies.

Great stuff bump:

"two Americas" stump speech, a Disraelian portrait of Dickensian gloom conjured in the tones of a Depression-era sob-sister.

"'We've got better vision. We've got better ideas. We've got real plans... !"

[AndyJackson]

You would have to have a heart of stone not to be weeping with laughter at that line.

You don't hear them coming before they hit you right between the eyes. Who thinks this stuff up? It cannot possibly be Steyn writing this stuff. No one can be that smart. There must be some other genius using Steyn as his pen name. I know - Al Gore. What are the odds of two geniuses like that in the same age. Nil I tell you. Al Gore is behind this. Look, it all adds up. Al leaves office and the next thing you know we have this so called Steyn fellow writing this stuff.

>>Edwards's shivering 10-year-old can get a brand-new quilted winter coat for $9.99 at JC Penney, or secondhand for three bucks at my local thrift shop - at least until Edwards and Kerry crack down on the cheap textile imports they've been attacking these past two years.<<

Or the Salvation Army provides one free at Christmas.

[BibChr]

Another good one.

[Yardstick]

Steyn's deconstruction of Edwards' tale about his dad and the restaurant is great. I think he may have caught him in a fib.

[LisaMalia]

Oh and BTW, to "Mr. man of the working people" Edwards.

Thanks for the no show at your senate seat during the first vote on unemployment benefits extension. It went down by 2 votes that time. My two Republican Senators voted for it. Interesting.

Yet you and your cohort Kerry had bigger fish to fry. While were out campaigning and photo opping instead of doing your job, I had to delve into my savings while helping care for my dying father.

Thanks alot, I sleep so much better knowing that we have YOU looking out for the hard working people of this country.

Steyn on Edwards- fabulous.

Radiating all the vigour and enthusiasm Kerry had surgically removed at birth, the honey-toned Edwards found himself adored by the media for his "two Americas" stump speech, a Disraelian portrait of Dickensian gloom conjured in the tones of a Depression-era sob-sister.

"She said at 3, 'I'm fine.' She said at 4, 'I'm having a little trouble, but I'm doing OK.' Five, she said, 'I'm having problems.' At 5.30, she said, 'I need out'," Edwards told his hushed jury. "She speaks to you through me. And I have to tell you right now - I didn't plan to talk about this - right now I feel her. I feel her presence. She's inside me."

Everytime I read about this ridiculous summation, I have to wonder if Edward's was listening to, "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," when he thought of it. I really hope this becomes the focal point of the Pro-Lifers in this election.

And, while the Edwards family was poor by comparison with John Kerry, dad was in fact the mill's production manager (though the son tends to leave that bit out).

Anyone who grew up in a mill town (I did) should immediately recognize the drama queen quality of Edwards' claim to knowin' what it's all about.

My grandmother on my father's side quit school in the 7th grade to work as a bobbin girl in the textile mills in the Merrimack Valley in Massachusetts. They were the poor people.

On the other hand, my grandfather on my mother's side was a supervisor in the same textile mills before and during the Depression.

My mother often remarked how many of her contemporaries had different memories of the Depression than she did, because her father had a relatively good-paying job as a supervisor, way further down on the list than Edwards' father and in hard times, and that she had no memories of deprivation during the Depression.

[traumer]

Cute !

[Polonius]

Another great one from Steyn ... though Conan is in fact on NBC, not CBS.

[TalBlack]

"Edwards is a lawyer, and supposedly his great strength is his ability to make an argument and sell it to a jury."

True enough. But you have to remember what a jury is: a bunch of morons, hand picked for their prejudice and ignorance. The american people aren't a jury.

tonight a 10-year-old little girl will go to bed hungry, hoping and praying that tomorrow will not be as cold as today because she doesn't have the coat to keep her warm".

So buy an SUV and drive you cold hearted greenies!

Let's get it warmer around here so this little girl doesn't have to suffer!
