Is there any purpose left to Lindsey
Graham’s continued and now-obstructive alarm calls about Benghazi other than energizing his base and
raising his profile ahead of next year’s election? We don’t think so:
Dead horse, meet S.C. Sen. Lindsey
Graham.
Clearly, a number of things went
horribly wrong at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi,
Libya, on Sept.
11, 2012. Four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were
killed in a pair of terrorist attacks on U.S. compounds.
Wednesday’s editorial hails the good news that the
Presidential primary process still seems likely to begin in South Carolina, even as the national primary
calendar settles out.
Regardless of what party you vote
for, it’s hard not to be pleased with the news that the S.C. Republican Party
seems poised to hold on to our state’s “First-in-the-South” position on the GOP
presidential primary calendar.
Today's editorial chides Sen. John McCain for egregious abuse of his Twitter.com account:
#6. $950,000 for a Convention Center in Myrtle Beach, SC
- Tweet from Sen. John McCain.
Sen. John McCain, the 2008 GOP candidate for president, has been having fun with his twitter.com account lately. He (or perhaps an aide) scrutinizes the $410 billion omnibus appropriations bill under consideration in Congress for earmarked projects that strike him as silly, then publishes daily "pork" lists on the micro-blogging Web site. Among the projects that made one of McCain's Wednesday list is $950,000 for expanding the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.
Ripped from the wires ... Kathleen Parker renounces 2008, the year of categorical renunciation:
By KATHLEEN PARKER
Summing up, let me just say that I reject, repudiate, renounce, denounce, dismiss and utterly regret 2008.
Sayonara and good riddance.
Which is not intended to convey offense toward anyone of Japanese descent, nor to serve as commentary on any but the preceding 12 months of the Gregorian calendar. Not that other calendars, including the Goddess Lunar Calendar, aren't perfectly good.
Thank you. Thank you, my friends. Thank you for coming here on this beautiful Arizona evening. My friends, we have -- we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly.
A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Sen. Barack Obama to congratulate him. To congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love.
Ripped from the wires ... William Kristol offers advice to liberals on how to handle an Obama defeat:
By WILLIAM KRISTOL
Barack Obama will probably win the 2008 presidential election. If he does, we conservatives will greet the news with our usual resolute stoicism or cheerful fatalism. Being conservative means never being too surprised by disappointment. But what if John McCain pulls off an upset?
Ripped from the wires ... Kathleen Parker wonders why on earth the undecideds can't make up their minds. For one clue, see the Ogden Nash poem I've posted above. dc:
By KATHLEEN PARKER
It is hard to imagine that "undecideds,'' like restless phantoms with unfinished business, still haunt these final hours.
What can they be waiting for? An epiphany? Some final bit of information to tip the scale? A hidden corpse, an illegitimate child, a beloved aunt living in public housing?
Ripped from the wires ... Self-described centrist Froma Harrop notes she was trending toward John McCain until he chose Sarah Palin as his running mate:
By FROMA HARROP
John McCain's top adviser complains that the media apply a double standard when they cover his candidate. "They think they're on the level with McCain, that he's not the old McCain,'' Mark Salter tells The Atlantic, "but he is the old McCain. He just doesn't know what happened to the old press corps.''
Ripped from the wires ... Charles Krauthammer explains why he'd rather sink with McCain than rise with Obama:
By CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER
Contrarian that I am, I'm voting for John McCain. I'm not talking about bucking the polls or the media consensus that it's over before it's over. I'm talking about bucking the rush of wet-fingered conservatives leaping to Barack Obama before they're left out in the cold without a single state dinner for the next four years.
