She will get the point on the day she is placed on an ice floe and shoved out into the Bering Sea with a pair of binoculars and a compass. My fondest hope is that Bill Kristol will be on the next ice floe over.

ETA: But yay for obscene signing. Barbie may not find that useful, but I will.

Not so convinced. That strategy was thought up by men, for men who had not the least grasp of what inspires women voters. It's the same strategy that chose Dan Quayle because he was blond and good-looking (supposedly), and women would therefore vote for him.

Men like <strike>Kristol</strike> the GOP routinely forget that it is men who sometimes vote for laydiez who turn them on sexually; women vote for gender only if it also means voting for a politics they like. This seems to hold true with female voters across the political spectrum.

McCain might have stood a chance of snagging swing female voters (always assuming there were any, which I doubt) if he had chosen a woman of impeccable political credentials--someone women could be proud of as a standard bearer. Condi Rice might have fit the bill, or Olympia Snowe. That about exhausts the bullpen of GOP women with a strong governing record, which tells its own tale.

Me, I can't wait to see who the GOP will come up with next as their Ideal Woman Candidate. It's like staring at a 10-car pileup on the freeway. I can't look away.

RNC'al wisdom, 2008 = just forget all that bother about an election and hand her the nuclear football already.

Of course wisdom and unconventional thinking are completely foreign concepts to Kristol, so there may not be any actual meaning here to figure out...

It was obvious that he felt bad, though. Hella angsty.

Bill Kristol should have been invited to host the Oscars next year instead of that bland, whitebread, middle American Ellen gal. He could singlehandedly revive the great tradition of political satire just by walking onstage.
