Free MNBA Love on the Free Love Freeway
By In the comments to a TBogg post uncovering an argument by a Democratic hack–apparently in earnest, although I find that hard to believe–arguing that Joe Biden is the best Democratic hope for 2008, commenter Steve M. notes the perfect analogue:
You know who Joe Biden is? He’s Steve Carell on The Office. Or maybe Ricky Gervais on the British Office. He thinks he’s really competent and extremely amusing, and he’s not — especially the latter. In fact, he makes everyone’s skin crawl.
Ah, yes–exactly right. I wonder if that “Democratic” consultant was that guy who was on television constantly in 2000 who looked like the costume shop owner in Eyes Wide Shut who was able to relentlessly bash Gore from the “liberal” perspective because he once conducted a poll for Jimmy Carter? Jane says that “[w]henever anybody asks what should be done first when the revolution comes — take out the punditry class (like Joe Klein) or the political consultant class (like Bob Shrum) — I am always torn.” Lacking the wisdom of Solomon, I cannot answer that question…anyway, I swear a Biden candidacy would turn me into Maureen Dowd.
Joe Biden (Sen-Bank One) brings some much-needed Joementum! to his beleaguered staffers. (Background: Democratic consultant Ron Goldstein.)
