Here's a riddle. What do Brittney Spears and the writers for The Corner have in common? They both have no idea they look completely ridiculous. Really though, I shouldn't read The Corner before I've had my morning coffee, it makes me think I've accidentally awakened in bizarro-world. In any case, some highlights from this weekend's postings on The Corner:
- Michael Ledeen is shocked (shocked!) that Iranian government agents won't take responsibility if a certain detainee is killed or commits suicide. Because that would never happen under U.S. authority. No no no, it's not as if 45 detainees have died due to suspected criminal homicide under U.S. custody. No sir. But you know, they're terrorists. Which we know 'cause we've fairly determined their guilt.
- Kathryn Jean Lopez reveals what I've always suspected. She does not understand this concept of "humor" as we earthlings call it:
Barack Obama did the "live from New York, it's Saturday night," on SNL last night, after announcing in a skit that was a Halloween party at the Clintons' home: “Well, you know, Hillary, I have nothing to hide. I enjoy being myself,” Obama said. "I'm not going to change who I am just because it is Halloween."I think his 15 minutes as a serious contender for the presidency are about up.
- Victor Davis Hanson speculates that "if Iraq is stable by next Spring" the political landscape will be transformed. Also, if Rudy Giuliani eats a small child in front of a live TV audience he is unlikely to win the nomination. Hey, this game is fun. Maybe if a plague eliminates all Whole Foods customers the GOP will sweep to an unstoppable permanent majority! Also, if I had a pony I'd so become the worlds first mounted blogger. Have laptop, will travel.
