Jim DeMint to run for President?

Maggie and Randy are happy - and so am I.

Just close your eyes for a moment and conjure up an image of a stage with two podiums.  Behind one podium is Barky, the Teleprompter Dog (no insult to talking dogs intended.) Behind the other is Jim DeMint.

The first question is asked, and Barky, after a 2 minute delay of spitting out um's, ah's, and er's, proceeds to spill forth with a bunch of words that make absolutely no sense.  

 Now it's DeMint's turn and we hear a succinct and intelligent response to the question.

The next morning, the legacy press reports Barky won the debate hands down against the inarticulate and bumbling DeMint.

Problem is - the voters that bothered to watch the debate know this isn't true.  Barky's base did not see this because instead of watching a TV, they were busy stealing a TV.  

Thus endeth the vision. 

Your Wednesday Memeorandum Headlines:  

Palin vs The Weiner

As of 9:15 PDT The Weiner has 5 headlines.  Sarah also has 5 headlines, including one from Newbusters about Martin Bashir saying Sarah Palin's Bus Tour is a 'Breach of Federal Law' (never mind that it's perfectly ok to burn the flag - just don't put one on your private bus.) That people like Bashir actually make huge salaries to spew such nonsense, or that anyone actually listens to them is one of the greatest mysteries we mere mortals contemplate.

Meantime, Stacy McCain, with his authentic journalistic background all accounted for, tells us what's ahead for Weinergate.
