mon overbored
have to admit, i lost interest in wonkette. much like my initial enthusiasm for gawker, the snark to content ratio was too high. although i still suspect shes very likely to become the gen x maureen dowd. i did not see the cover of the ny times magazine but it wouldnt surprise me if that spurned her recent appearances on msnbc and nbc, neither of which ive seen. didnt take long for her to be howled at for being inconsequential. but really, hes mad at the nets for their breeding inconsequence. shes merely a supplicant, or at worst, a fallen angel. and i know you are asking yourself this very question -- what would billmon do? hes our very own blogger messiah.

""Saddam Hussein ended the nuclear program in 1991 following the gulf war,'' Mr. Duelfer said in the report. It said American inspectors in Iraq had "found no evidence to suggest concerted efforts to restart the program.''"

matthews metier
in those fevered few moments at the end of the vp debate it was incumbent upon me to select a victor and a vanquished. so long as truth was not a determining factor, i called it a draw. i thought cheneys non responses were his biggest detriment. edwards likes to be expansive and work a room so i thought the time constraints cut into his strengths.
just saw chris matthews on msnbc say he was sticking by his post debate spin, which was a cheney landslide. he said this with an embarrassed look on his face as he now knows his panel does not represent the conventional wisdom. that his subsequent analysis did not meet with his initial findings is nothing unusual for chris, he lives in a state of dissonance between what he believes and what he mau maus daily.
the truly sad moment came when matthews lauded nbc for actually questioning the veracity of cheneys statements. it was like a revelation to him. they could actually see if what was said was true. matthews obviously has come down with some sort of disease if he thinks that people would like to hear the truth. wed much prefer his incisive debate analysis. "Cheney didnt scowl. Hes the clear winner!"
