Hm, so apparently opting OUT of public financing is “rigging the system” and “opting in to get on the ballot and secure a loan, then reneging and violating your own campaign finance law” is not.

Got it.

In the good old days that both of them yearn for, McKrusty and Broder would, at this point in life, have both been smothered or stranded on an ice floe. They demonstrate that the custom is not without merit.

Go check TPM for a little story that made me nervous. Krusty is ahead significantly in polls in Missouri; Krusty has been running tons of ads that paint him as (1) standing up to Dubya, and (2) pro environment; basically he’s running to the center there and it is working against that uppity melanin-enhanced fellow. No doubt Broder and the rest of the Villagers will be doing their best to continue this line of propaganda as the season moves on; after all, where else can they get such good BBQ?

McInsane, McInane, McSame, McBush…all fine derogatory terms for the presumptive Republic Presidential nominee, but none ever really worked for me.

But Krusty?! That’s a hole in one!

“…while Obama has to hit his from the parking lot… blindfolded.”

And two hands tied behind his back. Of course.

It will be interesting to see how far David Broder and the other Village Elders will take things when their current columns have no effect on the polls: “We just pointed out that John McCain eats more manly sandwiches than Barack Obama and McCain didn’t get a sandwich bump.” I’m guessing they will eventually join the McCain campaign’s inevitable decline to the bottom of the sewer, while pretending to be “fair”: “Of course, there is no proof that Obama wants to surrender America to Cameroon as is now being implied (not by John McCain, of course), but it is an issue that should at least be discussed seriously.”

Isn’t the point of a political campaign to use the system to your advantage? By Broder’s reasoning, the fact that Bush “rigged the system (electoral college) in his favor” in 2000 would be a terrible, terrible thing.

But I guess not as terrible as Al Gore being President. Thank Pensacola Jesus that we never heard from that guy again.
