by Smitty

The Washington Examiner has details:

Virginia Senate debate

Where: Richmond
Host: AARP, League of Women Voters Virginia, WVCE-radio and WTVR-TV
The debate will be televised statewide, including by C-SPAN. Check local listings for coverage or go to wtvr.com for a livestream.

George Allen is a seasoned politician. Many might wish for someone more dramatic:

Consider, though, how stoically Allen handled the 2006 propaganda onslaught, led by the WaPo. Long before Cleaver and Clyburn smeared the Tea Party, George Allen was on the receiving end of 107 articles prior to that election with ‘macaca’ in the title. Lest you think this is a nit-pick, Jim Webb was an ObamaCare vote. (Hopefully Webb didn’t spend all 30 pieces of silver in one place.)

And thus he returns, cheerful, to face another former governor, who was proudly the first figure outside of Illinois to endorse Barach Obama.

I look to George Allen for the sort of leadership that is going to be essential, in support of Mitt Romney’s, to help get this country through the reckoning that will follow the Barack Obama’s final official ‘Uhhhhh…’ While we have some notion of the financial wrecking ball that Obama has been, my gut is that a sober, adult review is going to show that we’ve been Quantitatively Eased farther down the road to perdition than we realize. George Allen’s exactly the sort of fellow who will offer leadership for the country, whether or not my Eeyore prediction is borne out.

A Different Spin On Obama’s Denver Clock-Cleaning

by Smitty

Daily Pundit links VDH in yet another rational review of What Went Wrong In Denver. Sure, as far as it goes. But if I may “. . .think of a man, and. . .take away reason and accountability“, maybe we need to recall that the Obama Administration is nothing if not the ultimate Vagina Monologue.

Viewed through that tunnel, if you will, what you saw was the Longsuffering Black Man endure Yet Another Beating from the Usual Male Suspect of European Extraction. If you’re a dunce who is the most oversold thing since Java, you have to assume the lamb-like, sacrificial role, as you fearlessly stand for Progress and Prefixed Justice (racial-, reproductive-, class-, economic-, voting-, sexual- –it doesn’t matter).  You have to turn Mitt into a preppy Pontius Pilate, out to crucify the Chicago Savior for being unable to overcome the sins of BeelzeBush the anti-Clinton. In other words, avoid any head-on, factual confrontation, where your naked nethers would be too glaringly obvious, and go for the passive-aggressive play.

That sounds like 47 kinds of stupid, and borders on 57 flavors of insane. But this Administration has taught nothing if not the lesson that, at least tactically, you can go a long way on a line of pure hooey. Note that Eric Holder and Hillary Clinton aren’t all over the news, despite Fast & Furious and Benghazi.

Look for a nonsensical blend of “You Don’t Know The Burdens I Carry”, and “Since You Can’t Know My Burdens, Any Criticism Is Unreasonable” at the foreign policy town hall. Romney is going to have to do a lot of homework to retain that “snappy but not snippy” rhythm he nailed in Denver while talking about #OccupyResoluteDesk’s abysmal record overseas. Unlike John McCain in ’08, though, Romney is as serious as lung cancer about winning.

The New Yorker Cover Lays Down A Stone Cold #Eastwooding

by Smitty

Via Drudge, here’s one for the books:

Debating from an angry chair
Angry pout that steals the air
Ego hurts and I don’t care

What do I see across the way, hey
See my job molded in clay, oh
Stares at me, yeah I’m afraid, hey
Changing the shape of his face, ah yeah

Commies red I have a pair
Numbers dancing everywhere
Polling on the angry chair

Little boy made a mistake, hey
Racist reference to young Craig, oh
All that he wants is to play, hey
Get on your knees, time to pray, oh

[Chorus]
I don’t mind, yeah
I don’t mind, I-I-I
I don’t mind, yeah
I don’t mind, I-I-I
Lost my mind, yeah
I don’t mind, I-I-I
Can’t find it anywhere
I don’t mind, I-I-I

Dodd-Frank prison, we stay, hey
I’m a dull boy, work all day, oh
Racist reference to young Tagg, hey
Loneliness is not a phase
Field of pain is where I graze

Shoulda prepared debate side
Saw my reflection, no pride, hey
So little hope that polls died, oh
But Matthews lies, mouth so wide, hey
Weight of ideology, not the size, oh

[chorus]

Pink cloud has now turned to ralph
All that I want is to golf
Get on your knees cry to Wolf, boy
