Happy Holidays

And Then There Were Sixty

Eleven months ago, I complied a list of 64 potential Republican presidential hopefuls. The list read like this:

ALLEN, George
ARMEY, Dick
BACHMANN, Michelle
BARBOUR, Haley
BECK, Glenn
BENNETT, Bill
BLACKBURN, Marsha
BLACKWELL, Kenneth J.
BOENHER, John
BROWN, Scott
BROWNBACK, Sam
BURTON, Dan
BUSH, George P.
BUSH, John Ellis
CANTOR, Eric
CAO, Ahn
CHENEY, Richard B.
CHENEY, Elizabeth
CHRISTIE, Chris
DELAY, Tom
DEMINT, Jim
DOBBS, Lou
DOBSON, Richard
DREIER, David
ENSIGN, John
ERICKSON, Eric
FIORINA, Carleton S.
FLAKE, Jeff
FRIST, Bill
GINGRICH, Newt

SANTORUM, Rick
SCARBOROUGH, Joe
SHELBY, Richard
STEELE, Michael
TANCREDO, Tom
THOMPSON, Fred
VITTER, David
WURZELBACHER, Samuel
WARREN, Rick

Scott Brown took himself off the list yesterday, when he announced his support for the repeal of DADT. (No, that wouldn't stop I, Lieberman from running.) Tom DeLay won't be visiting Iowa or New Hampshire or FOX News HQ any time soon, and Dick Cheney probably won't either. Carelton Fiorina will save her money. Everyone else is still a go.

Correct the Typo

So what does the Corner-reading crowd think of Twitter? Do you follow? Do you think it’s an advance or decline? Sometimes I wonder as I’m flirting with being a twit.

If you're stumped, this might help:

You Dick

Dick Morris and Eileen McGann
Hillary Is Up to Her Old Tricks

If anyone knows old tricks, it's Dick Morris. Just ask his prostitute pals.

The Wikileaks documents show that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has, as Voltaire said about the Bourbon kings of France, learned nothing and forgotten nothing.

Which is why she's Secretary of State, Dick, and you're a bottom feeding toe sucker.

Among the things which Dick hasn't learned is the difference between Voltaire and Talleyrand.

So why is Dick pissing himself like his $20 date just pulled out a rolled-up newspaper? (This time?)

The Wikileaks documents show that you cannot only not teach an old dog new tricks, but you can't stop her from doing the ones she has always done.

The Wikileaks information indicates that Hillary -- and her predecessor, Condolleeza [sic] Rice -- instructed American diplomats to gather information about "office and organizational titles; names, position titles and other information on business cards; numbers of telephones, cell phones, pagers, and faxes," as well as "Internet and intranet 'handles'; Internet e-mail addresses, website identification-URLs; credit card account numbers; frequent-flier account numbers; work schedules, and other relevant biographical information."

Dick once put his name on a book promoting Condi as the next Republican President, and he can't be bothered to have whoever wrote his column spell her name correctly.

Of course, Dick has to explain why it was peachy for Condoll to datamine the private information of foreign diplomats, but beyond the pale for Secretary of State Clinton to do so. (And he can't just blame it on his impotence.) So he says that "Clinton, not Rice, has run for president and is presumed to continue to be interested in the job." You see, Hillary might use the e-mail addresses and credit card information of foreign diplomats in her 2016 election campaign, whereas Condoll would only use that information for shoe shopping, waterboarding and becoming Commissioner of the NFL.

Dick's whole career is built on Hillary hate; he's been doing it for decades now. So why isn't he any better at it?
