TONIGHT: David Mark, author "Going Dirty"

[burythehatchet]

1. What's Going Dirty about?

[babylonsister]

2. Not a clue. That's a fairly generic name, I'm culturally deaf, so

hopefully someone else can fill us in.

[Jim Sagle]

3. It's about negative political campaigning.

(The author was on C-SPAN this AM.)

4. I saw him! //Smacks head!\\

I'll watch with interest. I thought he looked shady, but he seemed fairly balanced imo.
I try to figure out who is who by looks, but it doesn't always work.

[Gabi Hayes]

5. I was leaving for work when he came on....did you hear it?

better answer me, or you're in TROUBLE!

I've gotten the impression somehow that this book is in the Halperin/Harris mode. can't think of the name of theirs, but it's about how wonderful winners like Rove and Drudge are

they were on WashJournal this week

12. They sucked.

Their big meme was that Foleygate would backfire bigtime against the Dems. Maybe that'll be the cover for Diebold. "Anericans dealt Democrat filth a stunning blow in disgust at their smears against the glorious Republicans, who gained seats in both houses."

You do know that, before his recent troubles, Fat Denny was predicting Pug GAINS, don't you?

6. Jon is on Fire tonight!

Riffing on the preznit's press conference. Nail meet head. LOL.

7. Jon has the easiest job on Earth

This shit almost writes itself.

[babylonsister]

9. He says what we think! How difficult is that?! nt

[babylonsister]

8. I think Jon does best on his own. He is a riot! nt

[al bupp]

10. Jon's managed to completely suss Boosh

All the important aspects of his personality: the saccharin sweet, faux frat-boy/southern charm, the nearly brain-dead repetition of phrases, the talking down to us as if we were a country of children, his utter inability to admit any kind of mistake.

A week or so ago he did this segment, setup as if it were a one-on-one w/ the preznit. I almost peed in my pants. I did have tears in my eyes.

But as has been said the stuff must just about write itself.

[G Hawes]

11. That he is.

Magnificent, even.
