(In the words of Carly Simon.)

Putting Hillary on the Democrat ticket now would be rightly seen as a me-too act by the Democrats.  They have been trumped by Sen. McCain's decision to select Gov. Palin, as well as by Gov. Palin's adroit ascendancy into both the national scene and the forefront of the conservative movement.

And now, today's 4,000 year old dinosaur known as the Shrub Report®:

Tis a sad day for this shrubber, a day of remembering. Oh, it IS fitting that Mr. Daily Kostard's birthday is today, too, isn't it?

Today in Moonbat History: In 1941, Charles Lindbergh said in a speech in Des Moines that the FDR administration, the British and the Joos  were "pressing this country towards war".

Who are the most corrupt members in Congress?

How long until this archeological find gets blown up by the Taliban?

Patrick Ewing committed a faux pas.

On this date, in 1977, David Bowie and Bing Crosby taped their now-classic Little Drummer Boy, to be aired at Christmas.

Truck full of explosives, er, fireworks explodes in Lebanon.

Today's Global Warming Update.

Here's taking "racial insensitivity" to the most extreme as possible. Give me a break.

Here's a cool discovery in Illinois.

It was 711 year ago today that a blue face-painted Mel Gibson defeated the British at Stirling Bridge. No bridge in the movie? Must not have been one, then! Also, 231 years ago, the British beat the crap out of the Colonists at the Battle of Brandywine, leading to a year-long occupation of Philadelphia. 161 years ago today, Pittsburgh Stephen Foster performed "Oh Susanna" for the first time. Finally, not ONE but TWO of football's greatest legends were born on this day. Must be the hat.

More Palin smear fun! And Shocking New Allegations!!!

The Hopeful Changer apparently has no spare change.

Here is the Timewaster Website of the Day.

And, finally, who are the drunkest fans in the NFL?

It is no accident that in the week leading up to Obama's announcement Bill Clinton went off-the-reservation and reminded Obama why having Hillary as  VP also means Bill saying whatever he wants to say.

The Clintons are looking forward to an Obama loss, maintaining loyalty within the party to Hillary/Bill, and to 2012. Being the VP to a losing candidate does not translate to getting the nomination the next time.

"The crowd, which I counted at 8,000 but which police estimated at 23,000, gathered at Van Dyck Park in Fairfax City represented votes for John McCain but passion for Palin. McCain knew it; he led the audience in a chant of "Sar-ah! Sar-ah!" Still, did the man who might be the next president know that hundreds would start streaming out of the park as soon as Palin finished speaking, leaving a noticeably sparser audience to hear from the top of the ticket?

So he actually took the time to count 8,000 people?  Right.  And later...

Like many at the rally, Victoria Robinson-Worst sees Palin's lack of experience as an asset. "I know people who have experience who are totally incompetent," said Robinson-Worst, who lives in Loudoun County, designs wedding flowers and raises two children. "And I know people who have no experience who step in and get it right. I mean, women can do amazing things."

This is where culture wars, identity politics and self-suffocating academic theories of deconstructionism have led us: Authority is suspect. Experience is corrupting. Ignorance is strength?

Next will be "war is peace." Or have we already heard that one?"

This coming form a liberal whose ideology has so corrupted our culture and language!!

"Being Obama means never having to say your sorry."

The Obama Campaign could do this and shake things up. I wonder how many would think that this would be pandering to the base? I would be surprized because Barak would have to compete with both Bill and Hillary for attention but not totally because he would gain some female votes back.

The last thing Obama wants is Bill Clinton in the background. This ticket is screwed anyway. Hillary wants to be First Dude.

Then again, I wouldn't be shocked if he booted Biden for her. It could boost his chances...

Drill ANWAR

I think Obama should just relax and keep doing what he's been doing.  McCain isn't gaining in the polls, Palin is.  McCain is nothing but the "cheap" uncle who's always whining about coming to the family reunion, but shows up late with just a bag of chips.  Palin is the good aunt who arrives early with all the deserts and great side-dishes, helps with set-up, and cleans up afterwards.  At some point it's going to get noticed that people are voting for Palin and not McCain, and when that happens McCain is going to go bezerk.

Hillary won't replace Biden because it would be the end of the Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party is currently split into factions.  The Kennedy faction and the Clinton faction are at war.  Obama decided to align himself with the Kennedy faction (he had Caroline on his VP selection committee).  To go back on that and choose Hillary as his running mate would start a war that would make the Democratic Party implode.

Unless Biden becomes seriously ill, for Obama to change his mind at this point would be a disaster.  It would prove he's not a good decision maker and would lead to a GOP victory.

Don't deprive us of our entertainment, we want to see how many gaffes Biden can make during the VP debates.
