If, as many in the media are claiming, Obama prevailed in the final debate, it may prove to be a Pyrrhic victory; win the debate (with sarcastic, snarky talking points) but lose the election.

Good morning, all.

If anyone wants on (or off) the PING LIST, please let me know.

Hillary’s minions may have kept their costs down in monitoring Libyia, but it became a Pyrrhic victory after the Ambassador and 3 other Americans were killed. NNOw that the details are emerging, their boss will lose the election, I’m convinced.

Pyrrhic: 1) An uneducated rural person standing on a boat dock or
2) A drench taken to prevent Pyrrorhea.

I just realized that if you collapse today’s word into one syllable, it becomes a synonym for David Axelrod.

I do worry sometimes that even should Mitt win, it might be a pyrrhic victory, as bit by bit Conservative planks in the Republican Platform are replaced with Pop planks, with all the stability of a liberal facing reality.

Pyrrhic

This is either about history or stuff that already happened. Anyway Pyrrhic had a son called Custard, Custard Pyrrhic, who fought the Sue at a little big house and lost.

So just remember when you get on your high horse like General Custard Pyrrhic, you may get your punkin carved. Or something.

d Watching Hillary speak (Hillaryspeak?), I noticed that her body language seemed nervous-balled fists, restless hands close to her body, darting eyes, etc-she is the suicidal sacrifice-you can almost smell the flopsweat...

If the current debacle in Libya
Is an example of Obama’s bunch
Toying with consulate protection
Then they are all out to lunch

Americans dead, a building torched
But a video will get the blame
We’re tired of the Pyrrhic victories-
Hillary, thank you just the same

It looks like Hillary is going down
Without the power Bill gave her-
And like Haldeman in Nixon’s reign
There’s no one left to save her
