“Yes we can…but that doesn’t mean we’re going to.”

Via Ann Althouse let us note a seminal moment in the Obama administration:

the Daily show discovers that Obama is like Bush.

You will note that the sparks really started to fly at Pelosi once John Stewart went after her. It’s one thing for Rush or Hanity or even Bill O’Reilly to go after her. The left couldn’t care less. To their true believers they are not legatmate sources, to those same people however Jon Stewart is.

Jon Stewart has now directly ridiculed president Obama by name. He has done it on a primary news source for the far left and for many young people who pay no attention, and not only that he has done it in a way that a person who has no idea about politics can understand.

People may not realize how big this is. Will this mean that other comics will now be willing to hit him? Will this give the imprimatur to other to speak up? Only time will tell, but the first time is always easiest.

The Roe effect lives

I guess James Tarento is raising a pint over this .

If these trends continue mark my words, in the same way they have on guns you will see the democratic party slowly move toward the pro life position or at least into neutrality. It may even happen in my lifetime if i can lose about 40 pounds.

The MSN has often said that if the republicans become more pro abortion then the party will thrive. It is exactly the opposite, the moment the democratic party becomes an acceptable choice for religious pro life people then the republican party will be in deep trouble, not the other way around.

Rush and the double bluff

In his first hour Rush took the time to tweak Nancy Pelosi about resigning.

If there is one thing republicans don’t want it is a Pelosi resignation. That removes her as one of the faces of the party and the focus of attention. The longer she is there the weaker the democratic position.

And if she does resign then she is following the path Rush says. He will boast about it for years, it will drive the left nuts.

Via Baseball Crank this is as classic as it gets.

This is an excellent running gag.
