Admittedly, I'm not much of a diarist (over 2000 days since my last one!) nor much of a commenter. But this happened, and I thought it was just too good to not share (and I didn't see it on the list, and couldn't find a diary via searching, so apologies if I'm duplicating info)...

On tonight's Hardball, James Lipton (of Inside the Actors' Studio and Arrested Development) beautifully summed up the role Romney is playing on the world stage (and I'm paraphrasing a bit here): he's the boss who tells jokes and waits for you to laugh...or else.

And later, he said something so devastating in its simplicity that it roused me from my 2000-day slumber to share it. That after last night's debate, voters are now faced with a very clear choice: does America need a President...or a boss?

Jeepers Creepers.

Anyway, being the inexperienced schlemiel I am, diary-wise, I haven't the first clue how to post a video (and don't have a transcript handy), but check it out over at the Hardball website, or catch it in re-run later tonight. Just wanted to draw attention to it.

Edit: Thanks to user Anthony Page aka SecondComing, here's a link to the video:

Edit (7:50 PM): Rec list??? REC LIST??? I don't know what to say. I just thought this was kinda swell and wanted to share. Wow. Thank you all for this. Made my day, you did.

Edit (8:52): TOP of the Rec List??? People, all I can say is...
There's something seriously wrong with your algorithm.
But hey, I'll take it. :) Thanks to you all once again!

Forgive me if this has been diaried about -- I searched and didn't see anything.

Today, Michelle Malkin references a post by blogger Andy Ostroy to lead into a "Mexicans are invading and we're all going to die" rant. On the surface, it seems like a fairly respectful reference (well, respectful given who's saying it...), with no overt or implied insult.

Andy Ostroy has posted a poignant message about his wife, Adrienne Shelly, whose accused murderer, illegal alien day laborer Diego Pillco, reportedly tried to cover up the crime by faking a suicide scene.

However, by looking at the context of who she's referencing and what he stands for, it all takes on a very ugly hue. Read More

Howie laments Bush's numbers in WashPost.com's most recent Media Notes Extra...

Here we go again: Here we go again:Poll Finds Bush Job Rating at a New Low. Except it's not a new low, it's a new low compared to the last Washington Post survey. Despite two months of "new low" headlines, Bush has actually been stuck in the 36-40 range. An old low, you might say.

Howie's been harping on this topic for months now, but what he's not saying in this particular instance is what this is fueled by... Read More

Dan Froomkin returns from the aether (actually, just back from paternity leave) with another must-read edition of White House Briefing! In it, he slyly hamstrings (if one can hamstring slyly) Deb Howell's bone-headed contention that the Abramoff affair is a bipartisan scandal. Read More
