Random commentary and senseless acts of blogging.
The first Republican president once said, "While the people retain their virtue and their vigilance, no administration by any extreme of wickedness or folly can seriously injure the government in the short space of four years." If Mr. Lincoln could see what's happened in these last three-and-a-half years, he might hedge a little on that statement.

More Signs the Right Never Had It Here's another great item, also a catch from Crooked Timbers. The unofficial Bush/Cheney campaign blog posted the following item:
At his Fed-Ex Field concert last weekend, Bruce Springsteen said Bush "ought to be impeached and started chanting, 'Impeach, impeach.' But the call was not picked up by the multitude, some of whom even began to boo" What Springsteen actually said was, “It’s time, it’s time to impeach the president and get someone in there who knows what the f*ck they’re doing! – Clarence ‘Big Man’ Clemons!” Springsteen in his stage talk routinely refers to Clemons as "King of the World", "Master of the Universe", and "The Next President of the United States". It was at this point that the crowd started to "boo".
Yup, the right, at least this blogger and the conservative journalist he quoted from, is entirely unaware that Springsteen fans shout "Bruuuce" at concerts and have been doing so for about 25 years.
Presumably Glenn, Virginia Postrel, and all the rest who have been telling us over and over again that the right is fresh and hip while the left is full of ancient fuddy-duddies will explain that the Bush/Cheney crowd is so heavy into Nappy Roots and Rob Zombie that they just don't have time for old school types like Bruce. |
