Oh, no, tell me she really did not call him that. This is funny.

I am not sure how loudly to laugh. I guess I just thought I was learning some political grown-up stuff, but I get amazed every day.

I mean, speaking before a group of College Democrats and calling the chairman an unidentified flying object.

"She also emphasized repeatedly that this year’s election would be close and that Democrats need to increase voter turnout and do whatever they can to help.

Very good, maam. Well done.

:rofl:

I wonder who the next unidentifed flying object will be?

:rofl:

1. And it left the impression that any further flying objects...

would be promptly taken care of, and no longer be a nuisance.

Someone posted this has been an interesting week in politics. Yes, indeed, it has.

And even odder, Begala took a direct on a certain doctor. Or at least it has been perceived that way around parts of the blogosphere. This was almost as bad as the hiring of people by the DNC to pick noses and stand around. My, Paul, you don't do subtle well.

"Vieira: "-saying, 'you need to get a backbone.' Do you think, in a way, Clinton was giving this party a backbone saying, 'When you're accused of not being tough on terror ya gotta speak up.'"

Carville: "Right. You're right."

Begala: "And good Dr. Clinton gave us a spinal transplant on Sunday."

The NBC morning show today.

Things will be interesting.

3. I think it's a funny way to say a candidacy was "unexpected" which it was

considering that it even took Dean by surprise, and everyone had to adjust to a new expectation.

2. Nice picture of the flying object, Lloyd Doggett at Ann Richard's funeral.

He doesn't look threatening at all. It really is a nice picture, courtesy of someone who posted it at Burnt Orange.
