You know, in all of the references to this video that I've seen today, not one single person has mentioned anything about the strange lip licking thing that happens. I'm so glad someone else saw that too and I'm not going insane!!

Yeah, I guess if you can't talk about the growing jobs, or a democratic and secure Iraq, or a captured Osama bin Laden, or more Americans with health insurance, or less Americans in poverty, then you have to focus on John Edwards' hair.

I bet you guys would love the clip of Paul Wolfowitz sticking an entire comb in his mouth and spackling his hair with it. If was in F911, you should check it out!

Actually, we could talk about the 2 million jobs that have been added, the democratic and secure Afghanistan (where they just cast their first votes), a liberated and free Iraq - on their way to self government, a neutered Osama Bin Laden, health insurance is a topic both parties are screwed up on (tho the Libs more so, since they want me to pay for your health care), Americans are better off than they have been, especially as we come out a the recession that began during Clinton's last term and was magnified by 9-11. We could, and do, talk about all those things.

But this was a humor post - and John Edwards hair ritual is just plain funny. Thats a big difference in the political spectrum - us Right Wingers have a sense of humor.

Yeah, you guys are a riot. But you evidently get your facts wrong.

"Actually, we could talk about the 2 million jobs that have been added."
Unfortunately, Bush would've needed to add almost 7 million jobs (150,000 per month) just to keep up with a growing US population. He's 5 million jobs short of the "just treading water" mark. Nearly half of the 2 million jobs you cite come from the ballooning federal government. Anyone willing to grow the deficit can create a million jobs. Bush will be the first US President since Herbert Hoover with net job losses.

"the democratic and secure Afghanistan."
I'll give you half of this one. The recent elections seem to have gone off without much violence or fraud. And I have to admit I didn't think that was going to happen. Props to the Americans, international supervisors, and Afghans for making it happen. Unfortunately, Afghanistan is largely UNSECURE outside of Kabul. Warlords and druglords control huge portions of the country.

"a liberated and free Iraq"
I guess I wouldn't want your definition of liberation and freedom brought to the US. More Americans died in Iraq in July than in June, more in August than July, more in September than August, and the horrible trend continues into October. This indicates that things are getting WORSE in Iraq.

"a neutered Osama Bin Laden"
Really? Al Qaeda's numbers are on the rise, largely to the recruitment drive that is American policy in the Middle East. The International Institute for Strategic Studies just released a report: http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1331362,00.html

"health insurance is a topic both parties are screwed up on"
Maybe so, but that doesn't change the fact that the number of uninsured has grown to 45,000,000 under President Bush.

"Americans are better off than they have been"
See many points above.

"as we come out a the recession that began during Clinton's last term"
Actually, the economy didn’t enter recession until March 2000, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, who is the official arbiter of when recessions begin and end. The economy was slowing significantly at the end of Clinton's term, but to be accurate, the recession began 3 months after Bush took office.

Hope this helps.
