On May 28, 2004, John Kerry was winning the presidential election with 327 electoral votes.
This has been another edition of “Hillary Is More Electable Because Polls are Totally Accurate Because I Said So,” dedicated by a caller to one Todd B. of Imaginationland.
Update: Now, if I wanted to be really snotty, I suppose I could just mention that I personally think Obama is much more electable than Clinton in the general election because his name will be on the ballot, but of course I would only do that if I was really, really fed up with this bullshit.

With all this talk of whether the media was soft on the Bush administration during the buildup to the Iraq war, I thought this cartoon from March 2003 might prove a refresher.
I never would have thought McClellan would be denounced by Fox News and Karl Rove, but it’s fun to watch him be at the other end of a smear campaign designed to suppress the truth. (Have you heard his publisher put out a book by George Soros?) If only he wasn’t making a handsome sum doing it.
The last six months of Scott’s job were painful to watch. Day in and day out he was hammered on the Valerie Plame affair and had nothing much to offer except stammering denials and a sweaty brow. Maybe he was so embarrassed that he felt the need to redeem himself. Maybe he just wanted the money. Whatever the case, McClellan lied so hard for so long that he can never make things right.
Ahhh, the good ol’ labeling the flood waters trick. Always good for a quick cartoon on a deadline.

Veronica over at the Viva La Feminista blog has posted a nice review of my book. To quote her, “This is some of the funniest shit I have read in a long time.”
She also points out a startling resemblance between Lil’ Gus and Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich:
SEPARATED AT BIRTH?!?
Marc Ambinder has a good summary of the reaction to Scott McClellan’s book, but I find it weird that people are still amazed the entire collective right wing would rush to deny Scottie faster than Peter denied Christ the moment McClellan released a book that, from everything I’ve seen about it, essentially just admitted everything that we all knew about the Bush administration since about 2002.
This doesn’t really change my opinion of McClellan, either. The man was a contemptible piece of shit and my only pleasure out of seeing his face on TV again is the chance we might get one more cartoon from Matt out of it. You may as well ask me how I would feel if Rove relased a book called “okay, you got us, we stole the election.”
I guess, ultimately, the remaining thing this administration had going for it was the thin sliver of plausible deniabilty- the idea that this was all a character play from Jon Stewart’s writers, as Ambinder noted. I imagine Scottie just made that a little harder.
