Dick Cavett roasts McCain-Palin in the New York Times - Experience 101

[tannybogus]

Dear Reader: It may be time to give up on writing about current events in this space. When you think how news travel time has been telescoped, it’s dizzying. It took days for even the rumors of Custer’s annihilation at Little Big Horn to reach the east. Now any news over two hours old isn’t news — it’s “olds.” Anything from the day before is virtually archaeology.
In reading what follows, be aware that nothing here is exactly meant to be a “this just in” bulletin. And so, the inevitable phrase: “By the time you read this….”
Or, for short:
B.T.T.Y.R.T.: Sarah Palin will doubtless have been outed even further from the witness protection program in which her handlers have kept her secreted since her smasheroo solo performance on That Memorable Night
<snip>
Watching a woman, slight of build and full of pizazz so thoroughly bedazzle a vast audience is entertaining. Something chimed in my memory when she brought that crowd to its feet with frantic and worshipful cheering.
Ah, yes. I had seen it all before.
It was Judy Garland at The Palace.
And yet no one offered her the vice-presidency. (Fact-checker: Am I right on this?)
<snip>
But enough of this carping. There is one good thing you can say about Sarah. She seems to have hit upon something that might bring relief to the hordes of suffering souls with the wolf at the door and their homes in jeopardy: Collect per diem for nights spent in your own house.

1. Awesome -- & you included the appropriate Judy Garland photo!

Great read, but the readers' comments are worth a read, too.

2. Experience redux

3. Dick Cavett?

He's not part of the Raibow Coalition.

Difference probably is that Judy's audience was not a partisan one. Won't a Republican audience always applaud and laugh at their party's talking points and bashing of the opposition?

4. Cavett: Still razor sharp with the pH of sulfuric acid! Glad he's on OUR side.

Diplomatically Correct phrase, “somewhat less than fully truthful.” (Typesetter: If space is scarce, use “lying.”)

Anything involving Westmoreland and ignorance is unlikely to be disputed.

McCain: “She’s worked with her hands and knows” — pause, making it sound exactly like “hands and nose” —


Oh, lord! Too funny!
