Week of November 2, 2008 - November 8, 2008

"Here is my offer to you. Nothing."


I just wanted to take this opportunity to say two things:  First, My man-crush on the host of this site grows stronger by the day.  Second, and on a completely related note, I could not agree more with Josh's post on the front page right now.  I take back every remotely measured, moderate word I have ever uttered about Joe Lieberman.  To hell with him. 

This isn't about us, Joe.  As usual, it is about YOU.  You want to caucus with your true friends?  Go to it.  You think you're going to miss Johnny Maverick that much?  Go to it.  You deserve each other.  And if I live to see the day, G-d willing and Inshallah, every dime I donate to re-electing Barack Obama will be matched by a contribution to the Democratic candidate running to unseat you.

The only question remaining in my mind is what I will call you so that I never have to speak or type your name again.  The rest is silence...

 

I'm younger than that now...


This jumped out of the memory hole a little bit ago, and I had to remember it with a smile:

 "Give me a break! I've got news for all the latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust fund babies crowding in to hear him speak! This guy won't last a round against the Republican attack machine. He's a poet, not a fighter."

The road to November 4th, 2008 was a long one in so many ways.  Stupid things were said and done.  Feet were inserted into mouths at an alarming rate.  I'm sure many of you have anecdotes and recollections of quotes, things that you saw or heard, doubts you harbored, myths dispelled...  This is one of my favorites and I would be honored if you would share some of yours.
