St. Rudy just can’t help himself, it seems.

Bonus: Giuliani made third place in Keith’s “Worst Person” segment for the comment.

All “trial lawyers” - John Edwards, especially - should be drowned in the ocean!

Sidebar: Keith Olbermann had a very good interview with John Edwards on Countdown tonight. I’ll try to post the relevant text and/or YouTube clips when I can find them.

Update: Tweety’s hammering of Mrs. Edwards, including the suggestion that the Edwards family are evil for “being in bed with the trial lawyers,” and yet more naked Tweety (Bad mental image. Sorry. ^_^;) hatred of The Clenis™ and The Clagina™, are available here. Meanwhile, Olbermann’s interview of Edwards can be found here, about 4:18 into the clip.

Tack this onto our latest economic woes: the dollar has fallen so far under Bush’s watch, that it is no longer considered acceptable tender for entry to the Taj Mahal in India.

Combine this with a bleak jobs report for December (that’s likely to be revised downward later on) and an unemployment rate once more increasing to 5%, and we’ve got a potential economic crisis on our hands. No wonder economists are worrying about a possibility of a recession.

Thank you, President Bush. May we have another? (Please don’t take that literally, Mr. President…)

Heh. There’s some circular firing squad action going on after the Iowa caucus right now, and for once, I’m glad. It’s not on T3h Left™, this time.

John Aravosis points out something hilarious about the Iowa caucus results:

Huckabee won Iowa with nearly 36,000 votes.

Hillary lost Iowa, and came in 3rd, with 29% of the vote. A projected 220,000 people turned out to vote in the Democratic caucuses, meaning Hillary got 29% of those voters, or an estimated 63,800 - nearly twice the number of votes that Huckabee got. (Actually, the Des Moines Register’s latest numbers show Hillary getting just over 67,000 votes, so I was right.)

So our 3rd place candidate beat their first place candidate by almost a factor of two. Not sure what it means, but it’s funny as hell.

Just like Timmeh’s assertion that a large number of independents caucusing with the Dems this time around bodes ill for the party of Commander Codpiece, it’s another nail in the coffin of the Rethuglicans’ 2008 chances, that’s what it means.*

But it’s damn funny to watch.

* I hope.

That’s the number of casualties of the Iowa caucus last night - about half of the number that Tim Russert predicted. Senators Joe Biden and Chris Dodd have officially ended their bids for the Democratic nomination for POTUS in 2008.

Although I have come out as an Edwards supporter, I must say that I am saddened that Biden and Dodd have dropped out. Biden has had some of the best one-liners in the debates (e.g., Rudy Giuliani only puts three things in a sentence - a noun, a verb and 9/11), and Dodd has been one of the best defenders of liberal principles of late - particularly on Kyl-Lieberman and FISA.

But, as sad as it is to see two good Democrats give up their campaigns for president, it was pretty much expected that some would drop out after Iowa, as part of the natural winnowing process of primary season.
