Elizabeth, over at E!! The True Conservative Story, posted up excerpts from Jonah Goldberg’s column from today. Evidently today is supposed to be a day of humor here at BCM. JG’s column fits the mold. Not only is it spot on, it’s a real laugh out loud (I did, several times) read. He takes on the issue of why Barack Obama can’t get traction and gain ground on McCain.

He opens with

The Democrats are having their flop-sweat moment. Barack Obama should be way out in front. The Republicans are in terrible shape. There hasn’t been a more battered brand name since Bart Simpson swallowed a jagged metal “O” from his box of Krusty-O’s cereal. The GOP has nominated an old white-haired dude, in Paris Hilton’s words, who makes Dick Cheney look like a lambada champion. He’ll be the kind of president who will yell from the Oval Office window, “You kids get off my lawn!” The economy isn’t roadkill quite yet; it’s sort of like wounded roadkill, flopping around, unable to get going but unwilling to lay down and die.

And yet, John McCain is pulling ahead of Obama.

It just gets better from there. Please visit Jonah and E!! And feed them both, please. They get testy when hungry.
