So I fully expected the Corner crowd to fall over themselves in competition to fellate the president most vigorously after the SotU address, and they came through admirably, gushing at great length about all the lovely things “Bush said, with fire in his eyes.” I confess being a bit surprised by the enthusiasm of Andrew […]

So about two weeks back, I saw my first and last episode of “Joe Millionaire” at Gene Healy’s – if you watched the show, you may have seen us with a bunch of young D.C. right-wingers sitting in his living room behind an overhyped correspondent during little promo clips Fox ran during commercials. Anyway, The […]

Ok, I wasn’t sure precisely what Bush meant when he said: Seniors happy with the current Medicare system should be able to keep their coverage just the way it is.

So does anyone else notice a lot of “sh” sounds creeping into Bush’s speech in odd places, like “Korean Peninshula?” I keep expecting him to to bust into a full-blown Sean Connery-as-Bond imitation and holler “Sho, Shaddam, I she you’ve been shtockpiling sharin gas!

For those of you too lazy to click, allow me to give you the Reader’s Digest version. Hi, the economy sucks. Since you saps have all been so infantilized […]
