The Winners and Losers of Campaign '08
Winners: The Davids - Axelrod and Plouffe: they spearheaded a near flawless campaign. Katie Couric: her multi-part interview with Sarah Palin was the turning point in how the country saw Palin -- and by extension John McCain. And she did it in a way that left no room for accusations of being unfair or playing "Gotcha!" Michelle Obama: smarts, grace, style, charm, and a serious "good mommy" vibe -- she's got the whole package. Losers: Joe Lieberman: failed to deliver Democrats, independents, or Jews. And on the way to losing his committee chairmanships. Liddy Dole: her "Godless" ad will be taught in What Not To Do poli sci classes for a century. Joe the Plumber: the clock just hit 15 minutes, and the wakeup call will not be pleasant.

A McCain Moment: Do You Want Four More Years of This?
It only makes sense that the media have focused non-stop on the looming threat of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago while paying scant attention to the fact that the presumptive Republican nominee for president apparently doesn't have a clue about what's going on in the Middle East. And with the U.S. death toll hitting 4,000, John McCain's tenuous grasp on what is happening in the region becomes all the more worthy of attention. READ MORE John McCain, Iraq, and the Eyewitness Fallacy: John McCain's glowing post-visit assessment of conditions in Iraq, and Hillary Clinton's hyperbolically harrowing recollections of her 1996 trip to Bosnia both stand as shining examples of what the British writer Malcolm Muggeridge dubbed "the eyewitness fallacy." In a brilliant essay, Muggeridge described public figures of strong conviction throughout history -- many of them greatly admired and well-meaning -- who, in eyewitness accounts, saw what they wanted to see, and became what they wanted to be.

Very funny from a very unfunny year. If you're not laughing...you're crying. Let's hope 2009 gives Chez less material to work with.
I disagree with the clothing bit, but otherwise you hit the nail on the head with Sarah Palin.
Good God. It's been two months since the election and i still can't believe what all of that was about.
When McCain gave his concession speech, and the camera panned to Palin, my excitement for Barack Obama was interrupted by, "Sweet Jesus! You are no longer politically relevant!!!"
I shudder at the thought that she was so close to the second highest office in the most powerful country in the world. Had McCain won,. the US would have been an even bigger embarassment, and that's saying a lot.
Oh Dear Lord, I thought I was alone in my utter contempt for all things Nancy Grace. Hallelujah, I am not! When she was on CourtTV I used to pray that Rikki Klieman would jump over the desk and start wailing on her. Alas, instead she was promoted to prime time. She is Bill O'Reilly after gender reassignment surgery.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for cheering up a pretty miserable week.
chez you are a bitter, bitter man. but very funny.
