That Didn't Take Long, or, Albright Isn't Supine, Now
In a post on Thursday, 11.18.04, titled “Portents,” Billy Beck noted a Colby Cosh post regarding murmurings of allowing Schwarzenegger to run for President. A that ain’t gonna happen cause Schwarzenegger is foreign born, murmuring. Colby’s post also noted a suggested running mate, foreign born, Ms. Photogenic, Jennifer Granholm. Canadian born and Berkley, ugh, educated.
Colby ended his post this way.
"The Republicans will need to reload for the presidency in 2008 and a socially liberal candidacy may look attractive after four more years of G.W. Bush. Although I have a weird suspicion that if Arnold ever made a serious presidential bid (and lived long enough to do so), it would probably follow a “bridge-building” Damascene conversion to the camp of his in-laws. If there were ever a party lying supine in wait for conquest by a charismatic barbarian leader, it’s today’s Democrats."
Billy ended his post noting Colby’s use of the word supine, this way.
“Supine". I like that word.
It smells like… history."
Reading Drudge, a moment ago, I come upon this headline.
“Albright Backs Foreigners for Presidency"
It’s enough to make one sit bolt upright.
What’s that smell?
Well, wait. Let’s remove Albright’s comments for a moment, from the bitstream, and just go on the basis of what we knew last night.
We are up against an enemy who is willing to work in periods of DECADES to bring down the WTC. Does anyone thing they’d not be wiling to work longer to get one of their own into the WH?
Let’s add Albight’s comments back into the mix, now. By now, you begin to understand, perhaps, why I didn’t jump on the “Arnold For President” bandwagon.
