« Joe Wilson: Liar -- Episode VI: "A Little Literary Flair" | Main | Top Democratic Donor Hit With Whore-Blackmail Charges »

Evan Thomas: Liberal Psychic

"There's one other base here, the media. Let's talk a little media bias here. The media, I think, wants Kerry to win and I think they're going to portray Kerry and Edwards I'm talking about the establishment media, not Fox. They're going to portray Kerry and Edwards as being young and dynamic and optimistic and there's going to be this glow about them, collective glow, the two of them, that's going to be worth maybe 15 points." -- Evan Thomas, Newsweek

Well, now. Apparently Evan "Dead Zone" Thomas can see the future by touching liberals:

If you can't read that headline, it's "Kerry's Bet on Edwards and the Politics of Optimism."

Oh, and in "web-exclusive commentary," we have this unpredictable analysis as well: Campaign Paragon: John Edwards has morphed into an almost-perfect candidate. And his sunny outlook is infecting Kerry, too.

Hmmmm... sunny outlook, almost perfect, paragon.

Wasn't some Yoda-like Newsweek writer just telling us that Kerry-Edwards would be portrayed as "dynamic," "optimistic," and "with this glow about them"?

Whether psychically attuned to the future or else simply having inside information about his own liberal magazine and the liberal mindset generally, credit Thomas for having the integrity to admit the blindingly obvious.

The Liberal Media is Smitten Update: Check out MyPetJawa's run down on the media's barrage of valentines in John Edwards' direction.

Give the liberal media credit: Unlike that abused enlistee in Full Metal Jacket, the liberal medai do have the common courtesy of providing a reach-around.

Maybe Thomas was tipped off by Johnny Coldcuts. Johnny is from the future after all.....

Did you hear the great news about the Federal Marriage Amendment? It died in the Senate, so there's nothing stopping Kerry and Edwards now. BTW, neither of them showed up to vote - my theory is that they meant to, but ended up groping each other in the Senate coat closet and lost track of time.

Ace,

Thank you for replacing that picture of Rosie the Hutt with the Bushgirls. They're like sorbet to the mind's (horribly abused by lez-fatty) palate.

Shameless plug, but relevant and (ahem) 'well researched'.

I did a quick search of adjectives used to describe John Edward's and posted them here. Read them and tell me about the 'unbiased' media.

I guess "Kedwards" and their campaigners in the major media have learned from watching Carter, Reagan, and Clinton how far smiles can carry a candidate. I've long been doubtful about "women's suffrage" in part because I fear that women have an especially great susceptibility to seeing a candidate and saying "Oo, such a nice man! We should all vote for him."

There, that should draw some interesting responses.

That "optimism" reference got me too. I haven't met a liberal optimimst in several years. Has anyone else?

Posted by: on July 15, 2004 10:46 AM

I think liberals are more optimistic when there's a Democrat in the White House. Right now they're all pessimists because they think American freedom will be extinguished any day now by jack-booted thugs in the Bush=Hitler Nazi patrol.

If Kerry were to get elected, I bet every liberal I know will get a sudden case of incurable optimism. But if he does get elected, it will be ironic, since he got onto the ticket and gets all of his points from trashing a booming economy and the prosecution of a war that has deposed one of the bloodiest tyrants of our time, liberated 25 million people, created a democratic constitution in the Middle East and brought freedom and hope to people who have been oppressed since before I was alive. John Kerry doesn't see any of that - and somehow he's the optimist?

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
