Say what?
Now that newspapers are in decline it is hard for most of us called anything but "insiders" to separate the political wheat from the chaff. Where do we get the "good stuff"? That's easy--it comes from "anonymous experts." And, hey, if you can't trust anonymous experts, whom can you trust?
The Cap Times print version on Wednesday carried the WisPolitics report. A selection of quotes from it makes my point. I am not making any of this up: "Good government types say..others disagree especially when it does nothing to regulate [anonymous] issue ads... Possible Republican candidate Tommy Thompson...continues to kick the tires...many Republicans believe...some even suggested...[unnamed] poll numbers raise some doubts...
"Obama won't win without Wisconsin...one Dem notes...Sources tell Wispolitics...he worked numerous[un-named] campaigns...means Obama is going to make Wisconsin a priority...one candidate who could knock off Feingold...nip and tuck after a different [anonymous poll]..but new poll numbers raise doubts...some argue."
This progressive just completed an interview with himself but sources inside my computer tell us--not time yet...kick some tires, conduct a poll or two...
Oslo: Whoa Nelly! Gandhi, King and Karsai? As if lecturing freshmen in their first political science class, the president boldly asserted, "Make no mistake, evil does exist in the world." Wow! Then he really took a chance, "I understand why war is not popular." Guess not. Most Americans, and I suspect 99% of his Oslo audience, agree with that thought and ask, Why send 30,000 more troops?
Disappointing speech. But what can the Nobel Peace Prize recipient say after West Point?

Obama attempted to put a positive light on war by attaching adjectives to the word war.
As a good friend of mine is pleasured to say, from time to time, "you can polish it all you like but a turd is still just a turd."
