PAUL BEGALA'S ONE LINERS.
Begala's on stage doing a political stand-up routine -- and he's good at it.
"I've got a soft spot for McCain, he's a friend of the family. Went to school with my great-grandfather."
"McCain's been married more often than Rudy's been hunting. It's three to two!"
"Our friends on the other side, they have nothing to offer us but fear itself."
"On health care, the worry with Democrats is Mark Twain's old maxim. A cat that sits on a hot stove will never sit on a hot stove again. But he'll never sit on a cold one, either."

Are you sure on the McCain marriages? I am only aware of 2.

Yeah, I think Begala screwed up his hunting/marriage joke.
On the stove thing, is the Junior Partner of Mr DLC Matalin actually advocating boldness rather than compromise?

The "joke" should be:
Giuliani's been married more often than Romney's been hunting.
Get with it guys!
If this is considered wit, then god help the Democrats this fall.

As Darrell Hammond, playing Chris Matthews said, he looks like a fetus.

Sums up the democrats on almost every issue under the sun. In the blogistan, we call this the battered wife syndrome. So not only are they afraid to sit down on a cold stove, they blame themselves for the master (the GOP) having put them on the stove for being a baaaad kitty.
