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.

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.

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.

CJN podcast 1400 copy.jpg
Podcast: CBD and Sefton discuss the obvious incompatibility of Islam with free societies, John Bolton is a disloyal sleaze, The SAVE Act is in the muck of Senate RINOs, the crappy quality of anti-American propaganda, and more!
Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.
The Oscars: A celebration of thanking. Dave Barry nails it! [CBD]
Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode
Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948."
Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."

Ana Navarro, on Abby Phillip's show: the terrorists attempted an attack on the Muslim Zohran Mamdani
The usually-reliable Batya-Ungar Sargon is claiming this was an innocent mistake by Abby Phillip but Phillip did not correct Navarro when she lied about the target of the attack.
