As always, Waldo and his band of loyal readers have an interesting discussion going on regarding the VA primaries. I sympathize with Waldo’s frustration, but I also agree with the point that a well-fought primary campaign only makes the candidate a better campaigner and better prepared for the real fight. If you think things are nasty now, wait until our guy goes up against George Allen…(shudder).

Yeah, I’m a little late in finding this one, but there was so much fuss about Stephen Colbert’s performance at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner that it took awhile for me to hear that Bush’s performance was worth watching.

I think Bush got more laughs not just because it was a friendly crowd, which is a questionable claim, but because it’s funnier watching someone make fun of themselves than it is watching someone get made fun of.
