FRENCH VOTERS WILL BE LAST TO KNOW PRESIDENT'S NAME

My favorites:

... are more afraid of SUVs than of IEDs.
... screech hatred of patriarchy for 40 years and then wonder why they aren't happily married.
... think Hillary is too far to the right to be trusted on matters of war and peace.
... oppose nuclear power plants in the US for reasons of safety, but think Iran getting nuclear weapons is no big deal.
... expect to be thought nuanced and thoughtful for saying something depends on the meaning of "is".

That first one made me think of Rush immediately.

Maybe you could start a vanity thread, get people to pick their favorites or add their own. You never know, Rush might read some of them. You know his staff scans here regularly for this kind of fun stuff. And a lot of people grab hold of such lists and email 'em around to friends.

Just a thought. Oh, and O'Reilly is right on this: pithy, pithy, pithy. They have to be fairly short in order to be memorable. It takes a certain talent to distill them down.

Really, I think you should polish these up over the course of a week or two, get some input, pick some slow news day to post a vanity. They're usually pretty popular. You'd find more would come to you over a week or two, catchier and more memorable ways to phrase some of them.

FR used to have some great vanities. Fun too. This list has potential.

Thanks - and yes I wrote them all, in one day, sitting in a cafe with my laptop.

I don't wish to toot my own horn, quite the opposite. I want to start a causal sport, making fun of the left for its idiocies. Nothing bothers them more than intellectual contempt, I find. It is what they pride themselves on, without the slightest justification. So the idea was to show it is easy and encourage everyone to do it.

But glad you liked them...

Whoa, nice work. All are good and a handful are just killer. I second GWB's vanity thread idea. I think it'd be a hit.

BTW, you might like this guy's blog. He has Wretchard's seal of approval and thrashes the Left daily with unusual skill and originality.
