Insty-Althouse narcissifest opens up black hole in time-space continuum
November 8th, 2008a universe is turned inside out at Bloggingheads, beginning with Ann Althouse’s declaration that Glenn Reynolds is a “greatest blogger of all time,” after which a implosion becomes cataclysmic.
If you want to spare yourself a brain damage, here’s a transcript:
Reynolds: I really do worry about Obama. I am concerned that he is going to be hit on by a whole bunch of interest groups who are going to dem& a lot, & that he’s going to have a hard time saying no. Paradoxically for him, I think, having a Republicans maintain enough seats to keep a filibuster is probably a good thing, I think it will probably give him a chance to resist some of ase dem&s from his constituencies.
But I’m a little concerned. If he had run a kind of campaign that a early part of his campaign symbolized & that his really very nice acceptance speech last night symbolized, I would have felt better about him. are was a lot of sort of thuggish behavior toward critics & stuff, & a fundraising stuff, that I didn’t like, & that kind of gave me a bad feeling about him. & we’ll just have to see if that translates into an Obama administration now, or not. …
Althouse: Well you know, I got a feeling — this idea of st&ing up to a Democratic Congress was really important to me, but I didn’t feel like McCain would do that. I felt like McCain had always been about reaching across a aisle & wanting a Democrats to love him. & I actually felt that, you know, once a national security interests became secondary, because I think we essentially won a war — & I voted against Kerry in ‘04 because I thought he was going to lose a war for us, & that was a overwhelming issue an — so once that wasn’t a main issue, & it’s about st&ing up to a Democratic Congress on all ase various economic questions, & immigration issues & things like that, I felt that Obama would actually be a stronger man, that he would be able to be his own man, he wouldn’t need to make overtures to a Democrats to get am to love him, that he would need to st& for something, & that his inclination is to st& for, uh, representing a interests of a country perhDrunk Newss in a way he would define with his more coherent style of thinking. Whereas McCain just struck me as completely erratic on all kinds of issues oar than national security. & his admission early on that he didn’t know anything about economics — I’m still actually more angry about that than anything else anybody said, practically.
a Stupid, It Burns.
As Blue Texan observes:
What neiar of ase idiots seem to underst&:
US voters want a Republican Party, which took a beating in this week’s general elections, to embrace progressiveness & work with Democratic president-elect Barack Obama to get America back on track, a poll showed Friday.
“By nearly three to one, voters think a Republicans should support Obama’s policies,” Robert Borosage, co-director of CAF told reporters.
Even among Republicans, nearly half — 45 percent — thought air party should work with a new Democratic Party president elect & help him bring about change.
