With G. W. Bush preparing his Victory Lap in his own mind[Latest Bush Family POTUS Terms Served Standings: W 2; Poppy 1; Jeb 0; Neal 0]
many are realistically worried about an October Surprise bombing of Iran. Supposedly this will be the time-running-out Field-Goal that wins it for the GOP and John McCain. A lot like what Adam Viniteri did for the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick and Tom Terrific Brady - until the Pats unloaded Adam V.
While Bush 43 knows he is to be remembered the "Churchill of the Patomac," neither he nor Chancellor Cheney are big on loyalty. Barack caught with a live boy or a dead girl are possible and likely in the Age of PhotoShop. That alone
won't dropkick John McCain and the GOP through the goalposts of victory. If David Vitter and Larry Craig
cosponsor the Protection of Marriage Amendment and it did not originate at the ONION a case for the GOP flying on Auto-Pilot can be made.Yesterday's self-doubting entry suggests Dr. Bawb is an optimist by nature but tries very hard not to be a fool. Example: Barack Obama turning rightward was predictable and is less of a worry than Israel bombing the hell outta Iran or doing the deed ourselves. "Never trust a Pol produced by the Illinois Lege" was the advice of my friend Joe O'Shaughnessy, Chicago resident who oversees Sprawling Ramshackle Compound blog. Joe said this long before Obamania peaked and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjXyqcx-YY&feature=related obliterated the field - Dr. Bawb's first Prez choice included.
Attacking Iran will instantly make the weekly $106.00 fill-up of Cheapo-Unleaded seem like the good old days. But that's never really been the problem for The Churchill of the Patomac or the Chancellor. Absent "weirdos" like Bernie Sanders, Russ Feingold, Barbara Lee, James Wexler, Dennis Kucinich and Henry Waxman [Dr. Bawb's Congressguy] it doesn't seem to be Congress' problem either. Today I read Charles Krauthamer on Obama's gradual morphing into John McCain. As the late Pittsburgh Steeler announcer Myron Cope
screamed into his microphone: "Now, what's going on down there!" It's bad enough to agree with Kraut, surliest over-the-top cheerleader for Bush, Cheney, AIPAC and, like Dr. Bawb, wheelchair jockey. Kraut's privileged, Orthodox intellect likely has

What's the bet Kraut never has seen Frankenstein Meets the Werewolf? 
I'd send Bought-And-Paid-For-Kraut the CD but why? Paul Krassner, hands-down Hunter S, Thompson's satiric equal, once speculated on, then rejected the notion of slipping Nixon some Acid in his Realist "All you get is a "turned-on" Nixon," wrote Krassner with great sensibility. Same with Kraut's
apocalyptic, tantrum-prone Weltenschaung. http://www.discord.org/~lippard/realist.html

BUT Barack and First Lady-in-waiting Michelle Obama publically admitted they made A MISTAKE! Practically unheard of during the last 16-years by anyone in or near the Oval Office. And The Mistake:
2008 - 2:57pm
WASHINGTON (AP) - Don't expect to see more of Barack Obama's young daughters on television any time soon. The Democratic presidential candidate and his wife, Michelle, allowed the syndicated program "Access Hollywood" to interview their daughters, Malia and Sasha, as Malia celebrated her 10th birthday. The four-part interview began airing Tuesday.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Don't expect to see more of Barack Obama's young daughters on television any time soon. The Democratic presidential candidate and his wife, Michelle, allowed the syndicated program "Access Hollywood" to interview their daughters, Malia and Sasha, as Malia celebrated her 10th birthday. The four-part interview began airing Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Obama said he had second thoughts after seeing how much attention the interview had received. The Obamas had been keeping Malia and 7-year-old Sasha out of the media spotlight. "It was an exception, it was Malia's birthday, we were in Montana, everybody was having a good time," he told "Good Morning America" on ABC. "I think we got carried away a little bit. Generally what makes them so charming is the fact that they're not spending a lot of time worrying about TV cameras or politics and we want to keep it that way." Asked if he regretted the interview, Obama said: "A little bit of pause, Michelle and I, particularly given the way it sort of went around the cable stations. I don't think it's healthy and it's something that we'll be avoiding in the future."
Baby Steps beat No Steps. I prefer looking at the Half-Full Glass - and the Busted Flush poker-shark Obama reportedly can play and even win. In that spirit, behold:
John Edwards holds a lot of titles bearing the word “former,” including: senator from North Carolina, Democratic presidential candidate and vice-presidential contender four years ago for Senator John Kerry. That, perhaps, best explains why he may be a long shot to sit atop this year’s list of prospective running mates. If Mr. Obama is serious about winning North Carolina, a state that leans Republican, would Mr. Edwards offer enough of an edge to tip the balance? He did not do so four years ago. Perhaps in 2008, with poverty and joblessness far larger questions than in 2004
Mr. Edwards would be a more tempting choice.
