    I think it’s worse then we know. I sometimes wonder if people aren’t actually assigned to go after certain stories or figures. Consider John E. O’Neill who was brought out by Nixon to counter John Kerry. Decades later he shows up as the leader of the “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth” when Kerry runs for president.

    The trouble with that is, I don’t know if I even trust Kerry after dropping the election like a hot potato. That story about James Carville notifying his wife to alert Cheney that Kerry was going to try and count the provisional ballots might be a complete deception too. Carville seems willing to be the “bad guy” as in the recent DLC fight against Howard Dean. Rahm Emanuel was on the Daily Show wiping off his involvement in trying to get rid of Dean on Carville.

    It’s hard to trust anybody these days! At least we don’t get any trolls on The BradBlog! 🙂

    You said “At least we don’t get any trolls on The BradBlog!

    Don’t you wish Ricky and some of the others would come around and “rub our noses in it” after the election?

    Last summer, or perhaps before that, I predicted a dem landslide and Ricky predicted a repub landslide.

    Ricky, come on over troll-boy and take your medicine … 😉

    I don’t think Ricky would come here now that Brad took away his visual aids and pom poms.

    I sometimes listen to this great left wing talk show host, Ray Taliaferro on KGO in San Francisco after Bernie Ward. Unlike Mike Malloy, when he gets a right wing crazy on, he doesn’t swat him immediately like a fly. He plays with them and watches them die like a cat with a mouse. He says he just doesn’t get very many of them anymore.

    I think right wing crazies are getting that sinking feeling. It’s good to see.

    REAL GOOD! 🙂

    Speaking of sinking feelings…

    Remember that joke Jeffery Skilling told:

    What’s the difference between California and the Titanic?
    The lights were on when the Titanic went down.

    I understand Mr. Skilling is going to a real prison. Not a Club Fed prison, for something like 26 years.
