Some thoughts from Ben Stein, to include comments on Bueller.
Ben Stein says he knows how Sen. John McCain can win in November: Karl Rove.
"Mr. McCain is running the absolute most pathetic campaign I have ever seen in my whole life," Stein said in his unmistakable monotone delivery. "His campaign is just heartbreakingly pathetic. He is a very impressive guy. He is a brave guy, but he is running the most lackluster campaign I have ever seen in my entire life. I would have thought Bob Dole's campaign would have set a record for poor campaigns, but this one is even worse. I mean it is shocking."
While Stein identifies himself as a Republican, he certainly does not always march in lockstep with GOP leadership. For example, Stein is backing Al Franken's bid for the Senate. That's right, that Al Franken, the liberal Democratic comedian who is seeking to oust incumbent Republican Sen. Norm Coleman in Minnesota.
" The economy: "We are in a psychological recession. People think times are really, really bad, but it is an amazing thing if you are out there among them: the hotels are full, the airlines are full, the high-end shops are full, the Wal-Mart is really, really, really full, the highways are full, the trains are full. But on the other hand, clearly some portions of the economy are suffering terribly."
Exactly. It is a recession because the MSM and Democrats say we are in one and people buy that crap.
" Liberal Hollywood cocktail parties: "I used to go there, and people would make cruel fun of me and bait me and want to start arguing with me, and who needs that crap?"
"In fact, there are actually Republican groups now that have parties in Hollywood, and I don't go to their parties, either, because, frankly, I work so incredibly hard, and I am on the road so much that when I am home I want to be in bed with my dogs and not -- and my wife too -- and not out talking to some people at a party."
Notice how he had to remember his wife. A very smart and interesting man.
I can't figure out why he just doesn't go for some simple, resonating messages.
"We are not Europe. Europeans are our allies, but we are PROUD to be American. We fought to separate ourselves from Europe, and we are not part of Europe. People all over the world want to come here, to our shores, to the greatest country in the world. Be proud."
Because McCain is a man of compromise, not of principle.

In that case, he needs to hire James Carville......

And one of the most honest, unfortunately.

Because nations tend to survive rampant tribalism.
Oh, wait. No, they don't.
