He's the biggest celebrity in the world . . ."

Obama.

While I suspect Prof. Althouse is suspicious of McCain's logic, I am calling it neutral.

"If I were sitting in a Tube train and all the people opposite me were reading 'Mein Kampf' with obvious enjoyment and approval. . ."

1978. But the quote is relevant to Obama.

The Wit and Humor of Barack Obama.

Because we need a President who can crack jokes about himself.

So here's the new New Yorker cover.

{Paraphrasing} Prof. Althouse: Of course Obama can't joke about being a violent black nationalist Muslim, bin Laden lover who heats his house with burning American flags. On the other hand, maybe he should joke about it.

She also frontpages a bunch of commenters who think Obama is too dour because he can't laugh at the "Obama is a terrorist loving muslim meme."

McCain: "Brooke and Mark show me Drudge, obviously everybody watches, for better or for worse, Drudge."

Newspapers and the blogosphere.

Obama chides Bernie Mac.

"So, one hoe says to the other. . ."

Do you really think Justices Stevens and Ginsburg are about to create Supreme Court vacancies?

Judge not.

Bernard-Henri Levy says why Barack Obama will be President.

"Can you get things wrong with questions? Why, yes you can!" Duly noted.

Jesse Jackson, Day 2

Kaus conviene con Jesse.

Barack Obama "is supposed to be the tonic for the culture wars of the 60s."

Vietnam! Because Obama's campaign is really bad at strategy.

"my name is such a vanilla, white-girl American name," said Ashley Holmes of Indianapolis . . ."

Hussein.

"The hole in your heart when you don't have a male figure in the home who can guide you and lead you."

Obama says something un-PC. Maybe, but it is a strong sentiment among urbanafrican-americans (which I am not sure Obama is based on his upbringing):

And they ask me where I got it
I get it from my pops
Wit' a man in the house
All the bullshit stops

Hillary Clinton is a schoolyard bully.

Obama is a sissy. That is not good, right?

Did Bill Moyers act as Jeremiah Wright's PR agent or did he ask some good journalistic questions?

Bill Moyers is a puffball.

"Twas unfortunate She drank an insipid Canadian Liquor, and not the noble Highland Spirits."

Fun with drinking (and commenters).

"Could it be? Might she really be talking to me?"

Not bloody likely.

Race and religion, Barack Obama and Clarence Thomas.

Prof. Althouse quotes at length from an email from an email from one of her most favored commenters. The commenter is not an Obama fan and (at least to me) that comes through in the email. It doesn't mean that Prof. Althouse is negative on Obama (though I have a hard time seeing her giving a pro-Obama email from a commenter similar prominence with so little comment {in large part I don't know that there are any pro-Obama commenters who are in her good graces).
