Awesome. So great that W's had this change of heart too.
Fontana Labs: no God but Ballah; My hardon his Prophet
m, random + tired
George Bush: the new face of Wahhabism. I can't wait to see how this plays out in the Middle East.
I see that this "no internet at home" thing is working out well for you.
4: Depends. Does he have a diploma from a madrassah?
It's fun to imagine what the rightosphere would make of a Bush conversion. Seriously, I bet Hugh Hewitt would be prostrating toward Mecca within the hour. "This is a solid religious doctrine-- I give it a B+...for Bismillah!"
7 reminds me of this, specifically this paragraph:
In perhaps the oddest development, the Jews For Jesus organization announced Monday that it has split into three separate groups: Jews Still For Jesus, Jews For Allah, and Jews For Just Being Jews Again
Well, I was hemmed in by the famous shit sandwich post. Before I blaspheme any more, I'm headed home for bed. Goodnight, and good luck.
I have no idea what Webb's positions on the issues are, but I've been waiting for a Democrat who could talk like that since about 1968.
wait, the Democratic response was GOOD?
Do you disagree, or can't you believe it? I only read excerpts, but he said things right.
I can't believe it.
I hadn't watched, because I didn't know what time it would start & wasn't going to watch Bush's. The text looks damn good though.

Video is up at C & L. Webb is awesome.

There is no God but Nancy Pelosi, and Jim Webb is her prophet.
Seriously, perfect pitch.
Webb is awesome.
I read it so as not to be influenced by other cues. Pretty good, I think. The T.R. reference re class divide has been what I've been thinking for some time now.
I definitely got a "Be reasonable or we'll be reasonable for you" feel.

Précisément.
Never has a clam been so happy as I.
He had the whole righteous wrath thing working for him.
"Be reasonable or we'll be reasonable for you"
Yes, I loved that part. It made me a bit scared, though.
Can we get Webb out in front a lot? That was great -- the unambigious take on the war, the TR comparison, the direct mention of inequality. Excellent.
Stupid aesthetics comment: Webb isn't a great orator, but what he said worked very well in his folksy accent. Should use him more in front of cameras.
Second stupid aesthetics comment: Webb needs a bit more practice reading off a teleprompter.
This is all making me so much less terrified. I remember it was 2003 or 2004 that the SOTU response was given by a guy who nobody had ever heard of who had seemingly never given a speech before, apparently because he was the most prominent Asian-American in the DLC. I literally yelled at the TV, "We need to take this stuff seriously, you complacent douchebags! Enough fooling around!" (well, I yelled something)
Yeah, after Locke's response, I was pretty convinced that the Democrats would be better off just not giving a televised response.
President Bush wants to sex Mutumbo!
Could you make me an extended mix of that to play at my studio party?
