Looks like these guys at The Irregular Times are doing a lot of work on Unity08, with a fine series on their funders.  Read more 

As predictable and predicted, Broder’s lost bladder control, now that there’s a chance that Bloomberg might enter the 2008 race.

Anything, anything but a Democrat. If the Republicans can’t, than Vanity08 must. You know, I almost hope Hillary’s our nominee, so Broder’s forced to sniff her panties for eight long years. And I wouldn’t mind Broder acting the straight-out partisan shill like Brooks or Safire if he didn’t pose as the above-it-all and very serious Wise Man: The Dean of Beltway journalism.

Dean Floater: The gaseous turd that just keeps circling the bowl, refusing to go down.

Once again, Broder makes Sunday Fun Day:

[Bloomberg] now looks more and more as if he will have a chance. In what appears to have been a carefully orchestrated series of events, Bloomberg dominated the political news last week.

No, Bloomberg didn’t. Bloomberg dominated the vacant space between Broder’s ears. The guy who did dominate the political news was Shooter, the Vice Presidential Entity, and that’s why WaPo’s running a four-part series on him this week.

First, he turned up on the cover of Time magazine along with Schwarzenegger. A flattering article suggested that the two men embodied the pragmatic, problem-solving approach that Washington conspicuously lacks in these final dispiriting months of the Bush presidency.

Sweet Jeebus. We’ve got a Vice Presidential Entity who thinks he’s a fourth branch of government and wants to go to war with Iran, and a Presidential Entity who’s rewriting the laws with signing statements and getting obeyed by the Christianist sleeper cells down in the bureaucracy. We aren’t living in a Constitutional system anymore, and Broder wants to talk about pragmatism?
