OT, but I've been waiting for months to see Waxman at work, and he did not disappoint.
So he was calling Iowans superficial yahoos? Smart?
Is that squirrel humping her right breast?
That's why we need more context. For all we know, it was something like, "the newpapers report stories as if you think..."
I don't see how this changes the basic nature of the "cute" smear. Obama is still trivializing Edwards by reducing his appeal to the realm of the superficial, while tossing a thinly-veiled appeal to homophobia to boot: "You like Edwards? There's only one reason you'd be into him."
Sausagely's shirt brings up old traumas!
But we don't know what point Obama was making. Maybe the intro was "I'm not ready back this Obama fellow...," in which case maybe it's still a smear, but maybe the intro was what I said in 4, in which case it's not.
"Cute" would be all the things we're criticising. "Good-looking" could be a poorly phrased substitute for "looking good"---as in looking like a likely candidate or whatever.
/yes, I'm in the tank for Obama, my future-husband-even-if-he-doesn't-know-it.
According to the story, first he said "good looking" and later in the day, "cute," so I don't think that works, JM, you cheater in your heart.
Those hipsters and their screen-printed T-shirts, I swear.

Gonna have to get him to lose some of that weight. Weren't you the one talking with Silvana and me about Rex Grossman's thick neck—which is not very thick for a football player; I hope his skin is thicker, JM?
Neck exercises. Used to have to have another hold your helmet while you tried to turn this way and that. Now Nautilus has got a machine for it.
They are both wearing the shirt that expresses their most dreadful fear!
I heart Matt's shirt. DON'T CAULK THE BOAT PAY THE DAMN INDIAN!!!!11!
The neck exercises will help him with the rest of the electorate. I like him just fine as he is. Ok, maybe a little skinnier.
the best part about the squirrel t-shirt is that i jokingly mentioned on my blog that somebody should buy it for me because of all my squirrel trauma, and two weeks later, it shows up in the mail! (courtesy the awesome ficke.)
13: do these strange phrases have something to do with the mysterious Oregon Trail?
The town of Clinton, aside from its obvious resonance in this election, is a wonderful, charming place. We've vacationed there. Right across the river from Illinois.
And Krista Voda, whom I think is the best NASCAR blogger, is from there.
JM is a sick puppy. we don't need an anorexic President.
Yglesias is clearly checking out Catherine's boobs.
Also, you want a swimming blog? Here's your swimming blog.
"Yglesias Everybody is clearly always checking out Catherine's boobs."
Did someone here recently link to a picture of a man and a woman (and I can't remember who it was at all) in exactly the same boob-checking out pose? I looked at that picture and had deja vu.
23. My favorite "wandering eye" photo is of Zero Mostel and Sophia Loren (I think).
Actually, you should edit the P.Diddy picture in for comparison -- I think they're similar enough to be really funny.
26: Even better than that is Sophia Loren and Jayne Mansfield.
It is rather uncanny. I was going to defend Saiselgy by observing that he's just looking at what's being shown off to the camera, but then again, the same applies to Diddy, I suppose.
Comparing the two, Diddy looks almost unnerved, as opposed to the more simply appreciative Sausagely.
Catherine's are more confined and less likely to attack.
I have the same shirt as Sausagely.
One time a fellow said to me (at the lunch truck): "I like that shirt! I had dysentery once, and it almost killed me!"
If you search for the first ten words of the banner's hovertext, this is what google spits out.
Which may even be better.
"We need more context"
Why do people keep saying this? We know the context perfectly well. It was, like, in newspapers, and everything.
