Body Language of Fox's Political Roundtable

...is tough to guage. I think most of them really don't know who's winning or losing. Brit seems sorta upbeat, but that might just be that he's keen for a good story. Kristol seems dour and depressed and ready to rip Bush a new one, but then, when doesn't he seem like that?

More...

Kristol now saying if Bush loses, he lost because of his unnerving performance in his first debate. Other panelists joining in. They seem to be writing the story, "Kerry Wins; Bush Gave it Away in Debate."

More...

Kondracke blames assumed loss on Bush's failure to use Face the Nation quote against Kerry in ad ("to not vote for the $87 billion would be reckless").

Now they're discussing the no-WMD-story as a reason for Bush's "possible" loss.

But remember: Nobody knows anything. This trick of reading bodylanguage only works in the normal election, in which the journalists have a pretty good idea of who's winning but they withhold it from the audience.

They don't necessarily know anything more than any of us at this point.

But they do sound like they're doing a postmortem on Bush.

Juan Williams looks like he's got a stick up his ass.

Hell, maybe he does....

I was just about to say . . . Juan doesn't seem like he's popping open a champagne bottle, and he loathes Bush.

I'm not sure what this poll is supposed to represent over at WAPOST, but they keep updating it and I keep liking what it says:

They do sound like they're doing a post-mortem, but then they're also having to deal with what we're all dealing with, which is how could Bush possibly be in a tight race?

By rights, this thing should be a total blowout, but it's not. What happened.

Still, you're right, Ace, they don't know any more than we do. It's close. That's what they know.

They look about the way the hysterical wussies at the Corner would look if -they- were on TV.

Posted by: someone on November 2, 2004 06:57 PM

The knew more than us. Brit waited until the exact stroke of the hour to start declaring winners. They had, at least, some advanced info. Remember, they will get this info from VNS, which they have paid for.

But, I don't think you can read body language.

Never forget Game 6, 1986 World Series!

H.D Miller - wondering....which is how could Bush possibly be in a tight race?

Because he has been a mediocre President at best. Huge deficits, pork to his cronies, utter failure of trickledown to work, inarticulate communicator, unwilling to admit mistakes past or fix ongoing ones. And the neocons.....

"Kristol now saying if Bush loses, he lost because of his unnerving performance in his first debate."

Bill Kristol ought to emphasize Bush's awful 1st debate as an excuse - because he is one of the Neocons whose head will roll if Bush loses.

Lost Seventies Mystery Click: The Darkest Song Ever Recorded?
I think Professor of Rock (on YouTube) claimed this song was so upsetting that people used to pull over to the side of the road when it came on the radio. It's about a fatal plane crash, but obviously it suggests a fatal car crash too, which could wig out a driver.
It's like one of those nasty 70s anti-war body horror movies. Not for the squeamish. I'm not even going to post the lyrics because they're upsetting too.

Lost 90s Mystery Click: College Radio Edition
Well you look fantastic in your cast-off casket
At least the thing still runs
This nine to five bullshit don't let you forget
Whose suicide you're on.

Also:
You wax poetic about things pathetic
As long as you look so cute
Believe these hills are starting to roll
Believe these stars are starting to shoot

Forgotten 80s Mystery Click: Garrett's Favorite Band Edition
Everybody wants you

I'd just like to make you mine, all mine
I'm frankly surprised the title is 107 Days. I would have thought it would be:

Days Are Important: The Amount of Days Was a Number and That Number Was 100 Plus 7 Which is 107. 107. One Hundred and Seven. It's a Memoir and Memoirs are About Remembering Things Because Remembering Things is Good. Not Bad. Good. Memoir. A Memoir. Like a Reservoir But With Memory. We Have to Let it Flow. We Have to Let It Flow Into the Reservoir of Our Mind and Our Heart. Our Heart Which is the Beating Heart of Not Just Our Blood, But Our Progress. And Our People. And Democracy. The End.

Soft weak poop from the early 80s Mystery Click
I never liked this song, but it is memorable. In a weak, annoying way.
The kid's in shock up and down the block
The folks are home playing beat the clock
Down at the golden cup
They set the young ones up
Under the neon light
Selling day for night
It's alright
Nobody rides for free (nobody, nobody)
Nobody gets it like they want it to be (nobody, nobody)
Nobody hands you any guarantee (nobody, nobody)
Nobody

Former CIA operative John Kiriakou talks with Matt Taibbi about the Brennan/Comey Coup
Both guys are old liberals, maybe even of the far-left variety, and both are appalled by the Democrat/Deep State coup against the US. Kiriakou says that CIA officers were legally obligated to report to the Inspector General John Brennan's repeated overruling of actual intelligence to encode his partisan conspiracy theories into US intel product, but of course they didn't.
