Cable-TV mini-mogul turned politican Lamont seemed to be an animated version of Neville Chamberlain with his victory speech. ‘Peace in Our Time’ (or some variant thereof) has always been good short-term politics but makes for some of the bloodiest pages in history books.

It is obvious that Democrat politics is drifting to port to a party-line rigidity that would make old Joe Stalin smile. At this rate, we may eventually see a schism reminiscent of the old struggly between Stalinists and Trotskites in which Chuckie Schumer will be deemed a ‘moderate’.

Then again, how many people know enough about history to duck when it comes at them, deja-vu all over again.

Maybe Lamont needs a brain.

Interesting analogy. Somehow that reminds me of the movie’s title track by Charlie Daniels, which includes the lyric:

You could push that car just a little too far any Sunday afternoon .. And if you break your neck in some d*** fool’s wreck they’d forget about you soon

Maybe Lamont needs to downshift.

LOL Lorie – I don’t think there’s a house in North and South Carolina that doesn’t have at least one Burt Reynolds movie in it

It was fun remembering Reynolds in that chicken suit. The list of NASCAR movies at Fox was fun, too. That Elvis movie was on recently and I watched a bit of it with Nancy Sinatra and Bill Bixby. My husband loves those movies like Stroker Ace, Cannonball Run and his all time favorite, Smokey & the Bandit. I cringe everytime I see one is on, although Jackie Gleason is pretty funny in Smokey.

The Lamont line reminds me of a line Al Gore or Bill Clinton might have said. This was Lamont’s “no controlling legal authority” or his “I did not have sexual relations with that woman,” Jane Hamsher.

Perhaps should have said gentle, but it’s a good pun considering how the left hates Israel and the Joooo’s

Yup, MM gets no end of really vile hate mail from the oh so gentile, peace loving progressives, so I figured that being linked to MM’s site would bring all the moonbats over here to do the same. MM gets some really disgusting stuff.

Hi Danny – I think Sev was talking about MM’s liberal readers who send her hate email.

Severian, I don’t get it. Why would ST get hate mail from a reader of Michelle’s site? I’m a conservative and I don’t do hate mail, hateful comments, and the only thing I hate is confiscatory taxes. From the comments I’ve read at Michelle’s site I doubt if they do either.

I think that ST’s article hits the nail right on the head. Indeed, IMHO, if things continue as they have with Ned he will soon be known as being the divider…

NC Cop,

I can assure you there are plenty of Dunderheads in CT who will vote for Lamont because the Dem Machines say to. I mean in any sane state the Demorrat party would have ceased to exist after the I-95 bridge collapse over the Mianus river because the Democrat Governors Ella T. Grasso and William O’Neill took the toll money not to fix roads and maintain the bridge as the law said but to prop up the Democrat machines in Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, and Waterbury.

Wonder how Ned Lamont’s WalMart stock is doing right about now?

Regardless of politics, how can ANYONE vote for this idiot Lamont?!?!? This is the same guy who basically said “Screw ‘em” about the 4 Blackwater contractors who were murdered, burned, and strung up on a bridge!!! I’m sure their families appreciated that. That’s the most disgraceful thing I’ve ever seen.

Of course, Rangel said he would quit if the Democrats did not regain control after this year’s elections.

OH please, please, please……

as i recall they chose the name stroker ace for the movie because they were unsure if anyone would understand what “stand on it” means.
