"Not that it matters politically because obviously she's a female Republican dunce and he's a male Democrat genius.

But Sarah Palin's poll numbers are strengthening.

And President Obama's are sliding."

Apparently Obama's 'genius' isn't so obvious to everyone outside the LA times...

From Jules Crittenden -

We few, we happy few, we band of ditherers. For he who changes his mind with me today shall be my dither …

Four times two years ago, George Bush brought forth on this continent a war, that I am now stuck with. Now we are engaged in a great bi-partisan incivility, testing whether any president so stuck, can long dither …

Never have so few dithered so much for so long …

We shall dither in the Oval Office. We shall dither on the plane to Japan. We shall dither in the PRC. We shall nevah undither!

A dither that will live infamy!

Ich bin ein Ditherer …

Mr. Gorbachev, at least please think about opening that wall for half an hour or so, let’s say every other Sunday. No? Uh, never mind.
