PAGING MAUREEN DOWD....I saw this Dana Milbank piece last night but didn't bother commenting because it was late and life is too short. Milbank occasionally does good work, but basically he's ruined himself by his relentless quest to turn himself into the Washington Post's Maureen Dowd, and this piece was right in the Dowdian strike zone: snotty, too clever by half, and self-consciously bursting with adolescent cynical detachment. If Dowd were the only person who wrote this stuff it would be bad enough, but the fact that she's influenced a whole generation of wannabes is what really makes her style so malign.
At any rate, it turns out that Milbank's piece is not only snotty, too clever by half, and self-consciously bursting with adolescent cynical detachment, it's also wrong. Milbank Dowdified his Obama quote because it was the only way to get it to fit his storyline. In a bizarre and karmic way, I guess that's appropriate.
What astonished me was how late Milbank was to the "presumptuous" party - after all, it's been a GOP talking point for a couple of weeks. But boy, did he make up for lost time in jumping on the Republican noise machine.
So, repeat "arrogant" and "Obama" in the same sentence a zillion times on cable gabfests and in columns. Then poll on the question and talk about the poll because "it's out there." (Digby's "Cokie's Rule")
The, voila! Al Gore invented the Internet all over again! Exceept about something totally subjective (much like Bush's vaunted "likability) rather than something objective that can be disproven.
God, I hate our media.
All the vagina dentata envy in the world won't make Milbank as famous as MoDo. Pity; he used to be a good and gutsy reporter.
While you're right about the general tone of the piece and the fact that Milbank is playing way too fast and loose with the facts to fit his storyline (you forgot to mention that contra Milbank's article, McCain also is preparing a transition team, as both of them should), I would hope that to a certain degree Obama and the Obama campaign are prudent enough to take this as a warning signal that this is about to become the CW and to adjust accordingly. After all, like it or hate it, Milbank's article is really just a condensation of a lot of this sentiment floating around right now about Obama's "presumptuousness". And like it or hate it, the public is particularly susceptible to be swayed that sort of sentiment.
it turns out that Milbank's piece is not only snotty, too clever by half, and self-consciously bursting with adolescent cynical detachment, it's also wrong.
Egads! Milbank's emulation of MoDo is complete!
My favorite part: "Another reason for Obama's confidence -- the press"
Irony much?
Milbank hammers away at how presidential Obama has been acting. Maybe it only seems presidential in comparison to the current buffoon who inhabits the White House.
The Capitol Police and the Secret Service, not the Obama campaign, closed the halls for Obama to pass yesterday. If you're inclined to think Obama presumptuous for this, then John McCain is also on your list; last week in Columbus, the police department there gave him full intersection control during rush hour. Oh, and that was David Cameron to whom Obama "gave some management advice," not to Gordon Brown, although Brown could probably have used it! - Marc Ambinder .
I would hope that to a certain degree Obama and the Obama campaign are prudent enough to take this as a warning signal that this is about to become the CW and to adjust accordingly.
The Obama campaign should blow the whistle on the dog whistle: "Today Dana Milbank called Senator Obama uppity. That kind of talk was supposed to have gone out with segregation."
Every time the Republican propaganda machine and the mainstream media -- but I repeat myself -- plays the "presumptuous" card, fire back that they're calling Obama uppity.
Robb wrote: "I would hope that to a certain degree Obama and the Obama campaign are prudent enough to take this as a warning signal ..."
Given the corporate-owned mass media's vile and reprehensible campaigns of character assassination against Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004, I would hope that Obama and the Obama campaign saw this sort of thing coming a long time ago and are not at this late date in need of "warning signals" that the same thing (and much worse) is in store for Obama.
What, exactly, is karmic about this, when it's clear to me Milbank won't be in any way penalized for this -- if anything, he'll be rewarded -- and Obama will have to run around trying to plug a (metaphoric) leak based completely on a falsehood? As somewhat noted above, this is Love Story/Internet all over again, and it's the sole method McCain has for turning campaign coverage in his favor. After all this time, Kevin Drum, do you truly not grasp the danger in this?
Shorter Milbank. "That boy Obama sure is uppity. The "good" people of Washington need to take him down a peg."
I am sick to death of the Milbank's blatant racism. You can almost smell the foul stench of Karl Rove in the piece.
Presumptuous is the new uppity. Tell all your friends.
Shallow snark alert.
In addition to his significant journalistic sins, Milbanks's obsessively frequent and very bad dye jobs annoy greatly.
What's clear is that despite Obama's aversion to nearly everything that one associates with the political left, the corporate ruling class still fears what his administration might do.
It is important to keep in mind that the ruling class does not fear the economic disasters that threaten, nor the foreign policy problems. The former tend to solidify their hold on the country and they make money off the latter.
The 'leadership' of the congressional Democrats is firmly in hand; they have nothing to fear from larger Democratic majorities in the House or Senate.
They are not going to let anyone they don't own into the White House.
The only thing more "presumptuous" are the members of the damn press.
Obama is making me mad? I'm personally going to take it out of his hide.
Inside, according to a witness, he told the House members, "This is the moment . . . that the world is waiting for," adding: "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."
Or we could vote for McCain, and the world write us off, because they can't do business with greedy Republicans who want to bomb there way into business deals, so the only quantitative thing to do, even in the business world, is vote for Obama.
Somehow, even as some business people say that McCain is better for the market, actually know that Obama is really the only answer to what ails Wall Street. A continuation of Bush is simply going to break the US banks with ongoing Repug special interest only policies.
A vote for McCain is a vote for US economic ruin.
No need - this is the internet after all.
Yeah, and his first name is 'Dana,' a girl's name!
That guy is one prissy missy!
Milbank is such a bitch! Maybe if Obama compliments his shoes he will swoon and retract his claws the way MoDo did.
The closest parallel I can think of toMilbank's column and dishonest quote is when Gore was accused of taking credit for "discovering" love canal and was quoted as saying "I was the one that started it all".
As we all know, his anecdote was really giving credit for starting the ball rolling to a teenager and the correct quote was "That was the one that started it all...We made a huge difference and it was all because one high school student got involved."
Here we have Obama saying that it is all about America and it gets twisted into being all about himself.
Milbank may be a lying pile of dog vomit but I would SO do MoDo in a heartbeat!
I think what is starting to become obvious is that it is very hard to attack a campaign which is not based upon sound bites.
Sound bites are otherwise known as "substance". When the McCain campaign complains that Obama doesn't offer substance, they are talking about things like the gas tax holiday, offshore drilling, kicking Russia out of the G-8, the surge is succeeding, it has succeeded, we are winning in Iraq, "I know how to win wars", etc.
Here we have Obama saying that it is all about America and it gets twisted into being all about himself. Posted by: tanstaafl on July 30, 2008 at 1:25 PM
Well, duh, Masta Dana Milbank couldn't have rit such a fine article about that "presumptious" boy if he had told the truth.
I am so up to here with the racism in this story line I can't barely remain calm.
Milbank skewers the left and right with equal impunity. And mostly what he focuses on is the absolute laughability of politicians politicking.
I haven't seen the posters here complain when he has skewered the right, or dems other than Obama, with misquotes. Why the sudden outrage?
Suck it up. We are in an election cycle.
Optical Weenie,
His entire article is based on a blatant misquote. Without it he didn't have anything to say. You might follow Kevin's link.
By the way, in the future you might point out Milbank's similar misquotes of other politicians. We will be similarly outraged. There is no place for out and out lying in journalism.
Somebody didn't get invited to the prom!
Ooh, ooh, let's get the captain of the football team to invite Dana, and then we can rig the vote so Dana is elected homecoming queen, and then we can dump pig's blood on her head. That would be sooo cool.
optical weenie 1:44 p.m.: "I... mostly... (s)uck."
Funny thing about selective quoting.
optical weenie wrote: "I haven't seen the posters here complain when he has skewered the right, or dems other than Obama, with misquotes."
Please give an example of Milbank, or any other highly-paid employee of a large media corporation, "skewering" John McCain with a misquote.
(The numerous examples of the corporate media protecting John McCain by "misquoting" him to cover up his ignorant demented ramblings don't count.)
after stewing about this for a few hours, i sent an email to millbank that made many of the points made here, in reasonably polite terms (i mean, how polite can you phrase "just go ahead and use the term uppity why don't you?").
it didn't fix a thing but it made me feel a little better, and i suggest it to every poster here (and 5 of their friends). i'd love to read that millbank's inbox was overflowering with denunciations of his foolishness.
you can use the post form on this page to write to him; i'd suggest using "presumptuous" as the "subject of your mesage:"
in comparison to the current buffoon who inhabits the White House.
Read this as "baboon" initially. I apologize to our nonhuman primates for the error.

Well you can argue the "good" reporter issue, but seems to me that going against the media-popular Barama positive press coverage AND writing a negative Barama piece for the Washington Post, would suggest he is being "gutsy".
And, just for the record, optical weenie, I have always thought Milbank was a worthless piece of slime. His whole "Politics is silly/Let's make fun of all equally, because it's all meaningless" is precisely the Heather-ish approach that professed to see no difference between Bush and Gore, and got us into this hellacious position to begin with.
Has anyone noted that the people most likely to actually base their voting on "Forget substance, it's all who I'd want to have a beer with" are members of the Beltway press corps?
Ron, Junebug et al., I read the Milbank article prior to seeing Kevin's post on it. I just had a good laugh. Just like I do when I read MoDo. I don't take anything he write seriously, just like I don't take anything MoDo write seriously. Milbank and MoDo write for the village idiots. And basically what they are telling us is what the village idiots are all worked up about at the moment. So what to get out of Milbank today? Presumptuous will be the highlight of the Republican talking points memos for the rest of the week, and will be most_serious_topic for the Sunday morning pundits.
The last time the chattering class was this unanimous on a close election they were convinced it was Dewey's time to reform the new deal... I said before the Seig Heils were over in Berlin that voters in Ohio or New Hampshire or Colorado don't like this kind of preening. I want Obama to win as much as anyone in this forum, but I have a bad feeling about the kind of thing Milbank is pointing out, and killing the messenger is not going to cure it.
Doctoring quotes is so old hat. He has got to start using way more old movie references and silly nicknames before he is qualified to wear Dowd's high heels.
We'll take that to mean you have zero supportive evidence for your assertion that Milbank has "skewered" other politicians by basing entire columns on flagrant misquotes, weenie. I know everyone is as stunned as I that you would post petulantly without engaging your brain and then discover you can't back yourself up.
Milbank and MoDo write for the village idiots. And basically what they are telling us is what the village idiots are all worked up about at the moment.
I see. Milbank wasn't saying that Obama is presumptuous -- he was merely pointing out that it's the village idiots who think that Obama is presumptuous. This is all just a big misunderstanding.
So what to get out of Milbank today? Presumptuous will be the highlight of the Republican talking points memos for the rest of the week, and will be most_serious_topic for the Sunday morning pundits.
And the circle is complete. If only those silly Republicans & Sunday morning pundits understood that the whole thing was just satire!
I have a bad feeling
Shouldn't your name be HÅnir, the Norse God of Doubt? I think you've got your mythology mixed up, you shape-shifter you.
The WaPo and Mr. Milbank shilled for the Iraq War. Everyone knows and remembers this. 45% of the US population opposed it, 57% of Democrats in Congress opposed it, but our major newspapers (NYT, WaPo, LAT) treated the anti-war position as fringe. (This is provable, but not in a comment). This was almost without exception.
Maybe the writers, editors, owners, and who they see as their important consumers, are straight-up neo-cons and "liberal hawks". If 90% of them are liberal hawks, and this particular political orientation is almost non-existent in the larger US population, that might explain the perceived bias. Or there's the corporate, profit angle, like SecularAnimist describes.
Whatever the explanation, WaPo and NYT should be written off as objective sources.
howard's post was the one I was going to write, after writing to the WaPo, so I'll just blockquote him:

And I had precisely Kevin's reaction too to Milbank's latest. And the cheap MoDo trick of snarky word elisions: presumptive > presumptuous.
It's sad. Milbank has been funny and smart in the past--I remember fondly the day he showed up on KO in orange hunting gear after Cheney shot his hunting partner in the face.
The dilemma is, for these snidemeisters, what attitude do you cop with a charismatic frontrunner like Obama? Seems like the Village gang had settled on the slam of the week with presumptuous.
We'll know for sure pretty soon. I'll bet David Gregory trots out the latest canard on his Race for the White House segment.
Since some of you canât understand why anyone would criticize Obama, maybe this sentence in Milbankâs column is a clue:
But there are signs that the Obama campaign's arrogance has begun to anger reporters.
One example given of their arrogance is not letting a reporter from The New Yorker onboard his overseas trip in retaliation for the Obama cover cartoon. What Milbank doesnât say is that the reporter banned from the trip was Ryan Lizza, who wrote a long, thoughtful, and detailed article, with many quotes from people close to Obama, in that same issue of The New Yorker, about Obamaâs early political career in Chicago.
I would think that anyone who really cares about Obamaâs future would see this petty gesture by him (or his staff) as a big mistake. I think that Milbank is sending him a message.
Although I feel a little bit like shish kebab on a skewer, I'm not gonna back down. Milbank is just telling the Obama campaign that presumptuous is the line of the week.
It's up to the Obama campaign, and the liberal talking heads to figure how to fight back on that. Screaming that presumptuous = uppity is not the way. I would think that saying that Obama is taking his potential for being elected president seriously, and is working very hard to come up to speed on ALL the issues. That is why he met with the Pakistani PM, convened with the nation's top financial experts, etc., etc., etc.
emmarose, now that's just plain silly. Here's what you wrote:

What Milbank doesn't say is that the reporter banned from the trip was Ryan Lizza, who wrote a long, thoughtful, and detailed article, with many quotes from people close to Obama, in that same issue of The New Yorker, about Obama's early political career in Chicago.
Indulge me: where has it been established that the Obama campaign (in your words) banned either Lizza (who did in fact write a very thoughtful New Yorker piece on Obama) or the New Yorker? The suggestion was repudiated by the campaign and as far as I know exists only as a low-level whisper campaign with a few hardy and malicious whisperers, for some reason, persisting.
For you to repeat this right-wing canard (and to employ the arrogance charge again) here is irresponsible and sloppy--and malicious. Cut it out.
I think that Milbank is sending him a message.
I don't necessarily disagree with your take (in fact, you're probably on the right track), but I'm not so sure a columnist using a bogus quote in order to carry out some petty vendetta really helps their cause.
In fact, it makes the media look like untrustworthy brats who would feel more at home in a middle school lunchroom than in an intelligent discussion of public policy.
No wonder this country is so screwed up ...
You realize that you are saying Ryan Lizza isn't capable of taking care of himself. Taking care of Ryan Lizza isn't Dana Milbank's job.
Sheesh! Are you what is ordinarily called a concern troll or are you little Ryan Lizza himself?
By the way I read Lizza's piece. It was good. Too bad New Yorker's cover editor let Lizza down.
I would refer y'all to Kevin's orginal post.
didn't bother commenting because ... life is too short.
I've never read this Milbank and, having read this article to see what the firestorm was about, I know why. Getting upset at this "writer" is like getting upset at the idiot that cuts you off in traffic and then takes a minute from chatting on the cell phone to flip you the bird.
IMO it's a bit over the top to equate "presumptuous" with "uppity." I'm as hypersensitive to racism as anyone here, but in this case I think Milbank is just amusing himself with words that sort of sound alike.
If you want to get upset at someone, get annoyed with the people who publish this idiocy under the aegis of what's supposed to be a serious newspaper.
I've now re-read the Milbank piece.
The worst of it is, Dana had the temerity and gall to snark about Obama's private written prayer, left at Jerusalem's Western Wall and purloined by an opportunistic seminary student.
On his presidential-style visit to the Western Wall in Jerusalem last week, Obama left a written prayer, intercepted by an Israeli newspaper, asking God to "help me guard against pride and despair." He seems to have the despair part under control, but the pride could be a problem.
Take it up with Milbank. He was the one who said in his column that the Obama campaign banned The New Yorker from the European trip. He, specifically, used this as an example of the kind of arrogance that the members of the press donât like. (All I know is what I read in the newspapers.)
As for Ryan Lizza being the one banned, I read it in a news report linked on DU.
If none of this happened, the Obama campaign needs to clear it up before the story gets repeated over and over again.
... I'm not gonna back down. Milbank is just telling the Obama campaign that presumptuous is the line of the week.
Barack Obama has long been his party's presumptive nominee. Now he's becoming its presumptuous nominee.
Ron,paxr55 You're usually reasonable folks. I don't see how you can suddenly brand emmarose, who shows up pretty regularly here, a "concern troll" or "silly."
Read her comment more carefully. She says "one example given." Quoting a point is not the same as repeating it.
Read what o. weenie says at 4:01. The way to fight back is to praise Obama for getting up to speed, not by throwing hissy fits and namecalling.
Calm down, kids.
Thanks, I did take it up with Milbank after reading howard's comment, upthread.
Here, for the record, is what Milbank wrote, in a classic post hoc ergo propter hoc bit of reasoning about Lizza in which you apparently delight. Or is it wallow? I get confused.
In the latest issue of the New Republic, Gabriel Sherman found reporters complaining that Obama's campaign was "acting like the Prom Queen" and being more secretive than Bush. The magazine quoted the New York Times' Adam Nagourney's reaction to the Obama campaign's memo attacking one of his stories: "I've never had an experience like this, with this campaign or others." Then came Obama's overseas trip and the campaign's selection of which news organizations could come aboard. Among those excluded: the New Yorker magazine, which had just published a satirical cover about Obama that offended the campaign. (emphasis mine)
As I said, post hoc ergo propter hoc reasoning.
The Obama campaign explicitly repudiated this charge about the New Yorker. And for Milbank to persist, and for you to beat the drum dutifully, is malicious and arrant nonsense masquerading as journalism or pique or something. Milbank should know better, and I'm sad for him.
I don't think emmarose is a troll, and I've heard the banned-for-a-cartoon story too. Obama's hubris is a real issue that needs to be adressed before it hurts his campaign, and Milbank is providing a service in pointing that out. I just finished Josh Marshall's post at TPM and I have to say it sounds like a lot of level headed people are getting hysterical. Kevin usually doesn't want to shoot the messenger of important news this badly, and for Josh to say fleeting images of Britney and Paris are somehow inferring Obama is lusting after white women is just scary over-the-top projection. I condemned the Howard Ford bimbo ads, but McCain's team is trying to attack Barack's celebrity status, not his sex drive, with these ads. Take a deep breath everybody.
They probably should have linked to the updated report where the original writer admits that it was pure speculation on her part that Ryan Lizza was "banned."
I agree that the prima donnas in the press are more than willing to assume a snub, but that isn't proof that a snub occurred.
loki wrote: "Obama's hubris is a real issue that needs to be adressed before it hurts his campaign, and Milbank is providing a service in pointing that out."
No, Obama's "hubris" is a fake, phony, bullshit non-issue concocted by the Republicans for the express purpose of hurting Obama's campaign, and Milbank is providing a service to the Republicans by repeating their bullshit.
Just like you are doing.
SecAn, Obama's "hubris" may be imaginary, but Obama's "perceived hubris" is not. The press has taken this football and are running it to the end zone. Screaming at the messengers who are telling you this will not solve the problem.
Obama's hubris or lack thereof aside, the hubris among some of his supporters is downright awe-inspiring. And I don't mean that in a good way.
... to say fleeting images of Britney and Paris are somehow inferring Obama is lusting after white women is just scary over-the-top projection. I condemned the Howard Ford bimbo ads, but McCain's team is trying to attack Barack's celebrity status, not his sex drive, with these ads.
You lack the reptile brain of the folks at which the ad is targeted. You see images of Obama juxtaposed with images of vapid celebrities. The more primitive mindset is going to see footage of a black man morphing into footage of nubile young blonde women -- women, not coincidentally, who've achieved & maintain their celebrity status because of well-known & salacious incidents.
By weird chance, McCain's campaign manager happens to be the guy responsible for the Harold Ford smear.
for Josh to say fleeting images of Britney and Paris are somehow inferring Obama is lusting after white women is just scary over-the-top projection. I condemned the Howard Ford bimbo ads, but McCain's team is trying to attack Barack's celebrity status, not his sex drive, with these ads.
And yet the only two "celebrities" pictured in these ads are young white (bonus points: blond) women whose fame rests on their sex lives. Sure does seem like we could have thrown in an overpaid NBA star or an undertalented male actor if the simple comparison of unearned celebrity were what we were after. Wouldn't that comparison be more apt if we went male-to-male?
Back when I was a graduate student in Canada, there was a political party called the Rhinos that had a totally irrelevant platform. The purpose for voting Rhino was to express your disgust with the choices the established parties (Conservative, Liberal and NDP) offered up as candidates.
One year a Rhino won a seat. Everyone was flabberghasted, especially the leaders of the Rhino movement. No one knew what to do. The local political cartoonist did. He penned a picture of a Rhino screaming "Okay, everybody take a Valium".
Maybe that's what we should be doing today. Because it certainly looks like the Republican spin machine is working - it's making us fight with each other, as opposed to advancing our common case in a positive way.
thers, you're a nice guy, and I usually enjoy your posts, but you and o weenie aren't Kevin's oracles. It's perfectly appropriate to go apeshit over Milbank's column, thank you very much.
Milbank is one of the canaries in the coal mine, and for him to go over like this (with the presumptuous business) means, at least to this observer, that the villagers are settling on the details of the first draft of their novel called Whole Cloth: How We Defined the Terms of the '08 Campaign.
It's important, as this journalistic charade takes shape, that we name bullshit. And the presumptuous tag is bullshit, pure and simple.
I have been mulling the Harold Ford idea back and forth, but the only other reason for using Britney and Paris is some claim that Obama is an airhead. Of course, that is a dog that doesn't hunt. Nobody in his right mind thinks Obama is an airhead. It is possible to accuse Obama of a lot of things, but airhead isn't one of them. No, on balance painting the picture of Obama as a "scary black man" seems to be the only reason use the pictures of Hilton and Spears.
Note the McCain campaign is running the aid in rural PA. Talk about dog whistle country.
Actually I'm reacting not so much to Kevin's post as to the hysterical tone of some of the commenters here. I wasn't trying to be Kevin's oracle.
I do worry about the hubris and hypersensitivity of some of Obama's supporters, is all I'm saying. I read too many comments here that say, in effect, that McCain doesn't have a chance. That scares me.
if millbank wanted to "provide a service" to the obama campaign, he would talk to the obama campaign. he wrote a cheap shot: as secularanimist noted, he's providing a service to the republican party.
as to the "perception" of obama's hubris, the only people who appear to be "perceiving" it are members of a narcissistic profession that lacks any degree of self-knowledge. in the real world, obama is about as far removed from a hubristic personality as one can imagine....
Last post on this thread, I promise.
The dog-whistle may work on a couple of different groups, one of them limned in pathetic MoDo columns, where she attempted the emasculating and dismissive Obambi image. For those not susceptible to the "scary black man" imagery, the Obambi image of insubstantiality and undeserved fame brings him down by association with total and often toxic airheads. Some dogs hear that whistle.
For other dogs, seeing Obama paired with notorious blond celebs does appear to be a pretty transparent homage to the ad that ran against Harold Ford. Some dogs hear that whistle too.
So this could be a real twofer: Obama, the scary airhead!

Obama's "hubris" may be imaginary, but Obama's "perceived hubris" is not. The press has taken this football and are running it to the end zone.
Can anyone explain to me the difference between Obama's "perceived hubris" and Gore's "earth tones" or Kerry's "flip-flopping"? Or is it all the same line of bullshit?
It's all the same line of bullshit. And why did we lose last time? Because we didn't fight back effectively. We can't use long winded explanations of why the assertion is wrong. If you're explaining it then you've lost it.
A quick, to-the-point retort is what is needed. Like,
Obama is not being presumptuous, he is showing us exactly how he would lead were he to be elected President.
or Obama is not campaigning on foreign soil. He is showing us how his approach to foreign policy is effective in getting other countries to cooperate with us.
In today's wash post, ruth marcus wrote an article about the arrogance displayed bythe bush people in the justice department. she did not call that hubris, but it was. milbank, on the other hand, is premature in his call. time will tell whether Obama's "arrogance" is self-destructive. I agree that the article smacks of the inside the beltway racism -- that boy does not know his place. Also, it is fueled by Obama's call in Germany to tear down all walls -- including those separating Israelis and Palestinians. the Washington Post\Likud faction won't trust obama will israel's future. they'll do what they can to prevent his election (eg, dan balz was on the newshour tonight partially covering mccains butt on the non-visit to the hospital in germany).
Well, that and the fact that there is little difference between some of Obama's "arrogant" actions and attitudes and those of McCain.
Milbank's offense wasn't just the one doctored quote. He also skewers him for the 'payback' exclusion of the New Yorker even though the campaign has specifically denied that was their motive and NOBODY has come up with an anonymous leak, slip of the tongue or anything other than unfounded speculation to disbelive the denial.
And he hits Obama for having the streets closed and corridors cleared in the capitol building for his meetings and campaign events despite the fact that this is almost certainly being demanded not by Obama but by the Secret Service and despite the fact that several recent McCain events have resulted in similar precautions.
The criticisms of Milbank by Kevin and the commenters here are unfair. Even put back into its original context, in which Obama explains why thousands of people adore him, the "I am a symbol" quote is still a really immodest statement, albeit an accurate one. It also seems obvious to me that Obama's campaign is trying to surround Obama with all the pomp of a sitting president; Milbank cites about five concrete, troubling examples of this, and doesn't even include the pseudo-presidential seal. As someone who always thought Jimmy Carter's attempt to demystify the presidency was a good thing, I can't see why it's reasonable to rip a reporter because he says something true and critical about a candidate I support.
because, wesley, it ain't frickin' true, that's why.
that is, the actual quote is "i have just become a symbol," which is not arrogant in the slightest.
as for your other notionally concrete examples from millbank, let's examine them, shall we?
ohmigosh - he talked to the treasury secretary! how awful!
he got a briefing from the chairman of the federal reserve - just despicable!
talking to the Pakistani prime minister (insultingly referred to by millbank as "grant(ing) an audience") - the nerve!
he had a pep rally with House democrats - unfrickin' believable! the unmitigated gall!
the secret service shuts down traffic, a decision almost assuredly made by the secret service - what a royalist that obama must be!
appearing at a fundraiser where donors had their picture taken with him - i ask you, have you ever heard anything so uppity in your whole life?
i mean, it's making me angry to read this again: there is nothing concrete here, it's a giant piece of shit granted column inches in a declining newspaper run by idiots (donald graham) and right-wingers (fred hiatt).
give it up, wesley: this has nothing to do with "something true and critical," not even close.
Warning: Snore Alert. Canadian correcting Canadian
optical weenie: One year a Rhino won a seat. Everyone was flabberghasted, especially the leaders of the Rhino movement. No one knew what to do. The local political cartoonist did. He penned a picture of a Rhino screaming "Okay, everybody take a Valium".
Come, come, no need to exaggerate for the sake of a story.
As the entry states...
The Rhinoceros Party never succeeded in winning a seat in Parliament. In the 1984 federal election, however, the party won the fourth-largest number of votes, after the three main political parties, but ahead of several well-established minor parties. Rhino candidates sometimes came in second in certain ridings, humiliating traditional Canadian parties in the process
Meeting one-on-one with foreign leaders and the treasury secretary is probably good politics, but doesnât it give the impression that Obama is the âacting presidentâ? And isnât that the whole purpose of doing the meetings and the foreign trips -- to seem presidential? Isnât that a little arrogant?
Other examples of high-and-mighty behavior cited by Milbank: refusing to divulge Obamaâs schedule to reporters (should we blame this on the Secret Service too?); attacking Adam Nagourney (Nagourney: âI've never had an experience like this, with this campaign or othersâ); excluding the New Yorker from the overseas trip. I don't think this stiff-arm of the media is a big deal, but I didnât like it in Bush, and I donât like it in Obama.
Anyway to return to Kevin's original attack on Milbank, I still think itâs not a little arrogant but a lot arrogant for a candidate to explain that hundreds of thousands of Berliners cheered him on because heâs a symbol of hope for American values. Imagine George Bush saying something like that (e.g., to "explain" cheering Kurds) and ask yourself whether you would find it arrogant.
Even put back into its original context, ... quote is still a really immodest statement, albeit an accurate one. ... I can't see why it's reasonable to rip a reporter because he says something true and critical about a candidate I support. Posted by: Wesley
Do you seriously need someone to explain why a manufactured scandal based upon an out of context quote perpetrated by a lazy media is a bad thing?
You couldn't be more truthy if you tried ... just because some criticism coincides with your biases and seems true doesn't justify Milbank's fabrication.
wesley, honest to goodness: were you born yesterday? presidential candidates often meet with foreign leaders: what exactly is the problem?
meanwhile, are you seriously digging further into the article in the pretense that there must be a pony in here somewhere?
what frickin' difference does it make whether the obama campaign released their schedule to reporters? who cares? why is that a relevant matter to the rest of us? what is so wrong with that?
as for nagourney, it must be that you don't know the circumstances: nagourney wrote a laughably ill-informed analysis of polling data that was completely wrong-headed. the obama campaign called him on it. he got insulted. i should care? nagourney shouldn't have a job in professional journalism: this isn't the first time he's pulled stuff like that.
the new yorker story i've seen denied, but i'm not sure enough about the facts to make a more categorical statement about it, but once again, who cares? why does this matter?
you personally think the candidate should be cooperative to the press; maybe the obama campaign doesn't feel the same way. how does this have anything to do with "presumptuousness?"
once again, there is no there there. millbank came up with (or was given) a theme, then cast about for otherwise insignificant and/or untrue anecdotes to support it. we're supposed to appreciate that?
I recall that there was one Rhino elected to parliament (from the Yukon or NWT) who, on the first day of the new session, was kicked out because he lit up a joint in the House of Commons.
Maybe I am misremembering, but I sure remember that cartoon. I tried to find it, I think it was in the Ottawa Citizen, but the archives don't go back as far as the early 80's.
I'm still waiting for Keith Olbermann, who has Milbank on his show at least once a week, to take Milbank to task for this article, I guess we'll see.

Roseanne: Remember that time you played the county fairgrounds? You rocked that place!
Dan: That was after I left the band.
Roseanne: Oh. Then who the hell was I making out with after the show?
(Jackie runs out the door in disgusted fear after hearing that what David and DJ are searching for are mice)
Jackie: (Comes back inside after a minute, even more disgusted) Found em.
DJ: Really? Cool!
Jackie: No, not cool...Cats. Lots of cats. It's a killing field out there!
DJ: Quick, David. You gotta help me. A couple of my mice got loose and if my mom finds out, she's gonna kill me!
David: (Unsympathetic) If two little mice live and one little boy is killed, then justice has been served.

(Roseanne accuses Dan of going through a midlife crisis.)
Dan: You are making no sense.
Roseanne: Yes I am, Dan. You are the very same age my dad was when he took up with that mistress.
Dan: (under his breath) Maybe I should check and see if that mistress is still available.

David: Are you trying to buy me off?
DJ: Eh, you know, Darlene's birthday is coming up. You could probably use, you know, a little extra cash.
David: I don't need it that bad! I mean, I'll just get her something nice and simple with the money that I do have.
DJ: Yeah. Darlene's pretty understanding. Remember last year when all you did was give her a ride into the country? Now, exactly how long did it take you to walk back from the country?
John Popper, lead singer of the band, Blues Traveler who appears in this episode wrote and sang the song that serves as the musical backdrop for the introduction to the show used for season 9.
The title of the episode, is an allusion to Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men.

The Parable of the Stick
By Rodion M. Herrera
Once upon a time, two boys chanced upon a long straight stick on the river bank. The stick was quite long, almost twice as high as a person, so they decided to break it in two. However, the stick didn't exactly break in the middle, so that one of the sticks was longer than the other one. The taller boy decided to give the shorter stick to the other boy, who was shorter than him. The short boy merely smiled and shrugged. Then they
Last night my brother Ivan and I managed to find a Day Z Standalone (SA) server that had a decent ping for both of us. This was important, considering that he's living and working in KSA, and I'm here in the Philippines. For if I chose a server in Singapore or West Coast US, my ping will be low, but his will be high, and if he choses a server closer to him (say, France or Germany), then my ping will be high, but his will be low. We eventually found middle ground in a China-based server. We were
Today, I woke up during that period of time considered to be the ungodly hours of predawn. Try as I might, I couldnt bring myself to sleep. Thus, I decided to watch one of the movies I downloaded off the web last week. This movie, I believe, is a critically-acclaimed film, that tells the story of a young girl who lived in Germany during the Second World War.
I found the plot of the film to be slightly similar to that of yet another film set in postwar Germany, called The Reader.
NOTE: Before you read this entry, take note that I am only talking about the northern hemisphere here--there's a totally opposite thing going on in the southern hemisphere, below the equator, but to avoid confusion, I shall not mention about that in this entry, so please also don't comment about that fact below, because I shall tackle that specific point in a later entry.
I've fond memories of summer in the Philippines as a child. They were ones filled with long hours of gung-ho bicycle-riding,

Really good with a few tweaks. Double the mushrooms andsherry. Use half and half instead of milk with two cups instead of three. Curious about beef broth in place of chicken.
Really good! I did make two changes as we do not eat gluten or soy. I used arrowroot powder as the thickener and homemade worcestershire sauce instead of soy sauce. I also did not puree it as we like chunky soups. This recipe was super fast and really good. Even my picky eater loved it!
This is a very easy soup with EXCELLENT results! I did make some minor changes due to personal taste and lack of availability of ingredients -- first, I used shallots instead of an onion (for their milder flavor), and I also used a mixture of different kinds of mushrooms - both of which worked out fine. Don't bring soup to a hard boil at any time, just follow instructions as they are. After making the soup, I put it in a crockpot on Warm, then on LOW for a party that was several hours away - it kept the soup at a perfect temp and everyone LOVED it! Served it with snipped scallions to top it off and croutons which complimented it very nicely. Will definitely make this again!

So, phase 1 of Building a Home Theater on a Budget is complete. I have almost zero decorations, no wall or window treatments, no acoustic tiles or soundproofing, no fancy wall sconces with dimmable lighting, and no popcorn machine in the non existent lobby.
What I do have is a 125″ screen filled with awesomeness and backed by as much sound as I can handle, and all for just over $2000.
Now before I get to the pictures and the tips, I do want to address one more thing.
The best theater in the world is an empty hole in your house if you don't have something to show on it. And while Blu-rays are an excellent way to showcase your theater, you also want to see the big game on the big screen, and for that, you need a TV signal. A roof antenna, Cable, and satellite all have their advantages and disadvantages. For example, cable and satellite signals are compressed to use the limited bandwidth more efficiently. That means you lose some picture detail. You also have limits in processing speed of your components, which can also limit your picture quality. If you've ever watched football on a big screen, you may have noticed that at times when there's a lot going on, the field looks a little blurry. That's what I'm talking about. You are up against the limits of either your processor or your TV source. Here is where over the air signals have an advantage. While the transmitter may compress the signal some, it is nowhere near as much as cable or satellite, which means you have the opportunity to receive much more detail. Also, over the air broadcasts may be in 1080p instead of 1080i, which again, gives you more detail. (In essence, the difference is that 'i' means only half the picture refreshes each cycle, while 'p' means the whole picture refreshes each time.)
I live out in the sticks, so I have an amplified antenna($30) for over the air. It does a decent job, but one future upgrade will be a roof mounted flat antenna.
I also have satellite, and I upgraded my DISH network equipment to the Hopper to make sure I had an HD signal in every room.
The bottom line is that you want the best quality sources you can get to start with to take advantage of every beautiful inch of that screen.
Okay, enough talking. Let's get on with the pictures!
Like I said earlier, it's still pretty ugly to look at, but the picture is gorgeous!
I'll be doing small projects over the next several months to dress it up including:
- Building and installing new shelving to hold the movies and the components. I'll put additional shelving on the wall where the keyboard sits now. It will help with the acoustics of the room.
- Paint the walls a neutral brown color, with some trim and variations to add style and interest. Paint is cheap and can go a long way towards dressing up a room.
- Adding wall and baseboard trim both for a finished look and to give me a place to permanently route and hide wires and cables.
- Adding a riser and a back row of seating to expand the theater capacity to 7.
- Getting all the junk out of the room.
These are all projects that are short on cash requirements and long on sweat equity, which is exactly what my budget needs right now. IN the future, I'll address bigger projects like:
- Painting the ceiling to reduce reflections.
- Installing carpet for better acoustics.
- Installing wall lighting and zone lighting for more atmosphere.
- Upgrading the sound system.
And I have to keep in mind that my goal is not a dedicated home theater, but a versatile room that is comfortable and useful, even when the monster screen is put away.
So let me know what you think. If you have any tips and tricks for me to consider as I move forward let me know! I'm going to keep readng and researching, looking for inexpensive ways to add even more bang for the buck to this project!
And I'll let you know what I find!

At work today after I heated up my pasta leftovers in the microwave I spilled them on the floor. It was a tragedy because I was hungry for the rest of the day. A bag of chips and some apple sauce just doesn't cut it.
Anyway, while I was cleaning up my mess the thought crossed my mind, if this was bacon I would still eat it. So this got me thinking, what are my standards for eating bacon off the floor?
My standards for eating dropped bacon:
- Tiled surfaces that look clean are safe to eat bacon off of.
- Carpeted areas in people homes without pets are safe. Just remember to pick off any fuzz you may find. If they do have pets eat at your own risk.
- Carpeted areas in public places are nasty so just leave your drop bacon behind and keep walking.
- Pavement or Sidewalks are tricky, if it looks like a clean area and that's enough for you then eat it. But I may have second thoughts because outside animals can urinate anywhere they want.
- Grass or dirt is the worst place to drop bacon, but if there is a dog nearby you may make a new friend.
This is what I could come up with, but I bet there are more standards that I missed. If you think of any feel free to share them.
UPDATE: Matt Gondek from Echoflip.com made a few place suggestions.
- Dropped bacon in the tub – If its your tub eat it, if its someone else leave it.
- Dropped bacon in a car (under the seat) – Would you eat a French fry you found under the seat?
- Dropped bacon in a bowl of cereal – Eat up, you might just invented a new flavor of Lucky Charms.

Ride Machete+lowrize tech.
So i found a super killer deal on a 2012 ride machete which has the lowrize technology. I was hoping to get some feedback on the board itself along with the lowrize technology that it comes with. I have only ever ridden a positive camber board and the fact that in has a flat base up to the contact points makes me think it would be a pretty easy transition from my older Rome Artifact pos. camber. I've read a few reviews saying that it is a good all mountain board so since I ride like 70% park, 20% freestyle/big kickers, and 10% just bombing do you guys think this is the board for me?

Here's my take on the 2013 Machete which is the same spec as previous years it's a solid board, it's like a medium-firm park board or a medium-soft all-mountain board probably best-suited for someone doing like a little bit more "all mountain" than you do but if the price is right it would still be a good option as it's a versatile board.

Gutierrez voiced his displeasure with prosecutors in two letters to State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle last month. He was particularly upset by prosecutors' decision not to charge Ventura with vehicular homicide, as well as a plea offer in which Ventura could avoid any jail time. "We'd like the state to do what is right," Guttierrez said. "Johann's mother is just looking for something that gives her some sense of justice."
A State Attorney's Office spokesman, Ed Griffith, says prosecutors have not closed the door on charging Ventura with vehicular homicide. "That is still under investigation," Griffith said. "And we have certainly attempted to contact witnesses. However they have been hesitant to come forward."
Ventura's attorney, H. Scott Fingerhut, did not return calls for comment. In November, Fingerhut told New Times that Ventura bolted because he feared for his life: "It was only when Carlos's own safety became in dire jeopardy that he thought it best to take cover elsewhere." Francisco Alvarado

Runs the floor like a gazelle. Crazy athleticism. Can jump out of the gym. Stronger than a loud pack.
These are things that you will never hear when speaking about Al Jefferson.
Those adjectives better apply to Dwight Howard than "Big Al." In fact, Jefferson is more Z-Bo than Superman. But in relation to Howard, the one thing Al does have in common with Dwight—besides turning pro straight out of HS while in the same class—is that when it comes to elite post-players in the NBA, they are simply two of the best.
While Howard may have more fame and notoriety to go along with slightly better numbers statistically, Jefferson has much better low-post moves and footwork and Big Al has quietly been putting in the same, if not similar work as Dwight throughout his career. And you know what he gets as a reward? He gets to lead the pack as one of the most underrated players in the NBA today.
When Big Al was a HS player in Prentiss, MS, I got a chance to watch him first hand on several occasions.
Initially I wasn't all that impressed, but it wasn't because of him as a player, it was because of the fact that he played in one of the smaller divisions in Mississippi prep athletics. And by small I mean with respect to the size of the schools within his particular division and also with respect to the size of the players he was competing against. Jefferson was easily the most dominating force because he was just that much bigger and by extension, better, than the other kids.
For example, when teams would full-court press Prentiss HS, the sequence would look like this: Jefferson would inbound the ball, run to half court, receive the ball again, pass it off to another player, run down to the low block, get the ball again, put his shoulder into somebody, turn and dunk on them. This happened every single time and oftentimes, the ball would never even touch the floor. He was the antithesis of the one-man press breaker, but the strategy was sound, and it most definitely worked.
Taking all of this into consideration, it's easy to see how he was able to win the Mr. Basketball award, average 42 points, 18 rebounds and 7 blocks per game as a senior, and establish himself as the most dominating big man in the history of the Magnolia State since Othella Harrington came out of Murrah HS in the early '90s.
So when he opted for the NBA Draft in the spring of '04 instead of taking his game to Fayetteville, AR to play collegiately for the Razorbacks, my initial assumption was that against the best of the best, Al Jefferson would probably struggle.
His first couple of seasons in Boston he showed some flashes, but statistically, he was pedestrian at best. But by his third year in Beantown ('06-07), Big Al had transformed himself into a force to be reckoned with to the tune of 16 points and 11 rebounds per game. He was so good in fact that Minnesota traded Kevin Garnett to Boston for him in the summer of '07.
OK, that's not entirely true, but in essence, that's pretty much what happened.
In Big Al's first year in a Timberwolves uni in '07-08, he upped his scoring average to 21 points per while still grabbing 11 boards. He wasn't KG, but the fans in Minnesota appreciated him just the same. And much to the chagrin of many TWolves fans especially, he was snubbed on the Western Conference All-Star team that year.
You see, despite his individual success and better than average scoring and rebounding numbers, by the 2008 All-Star break, the Minnesota Timberwolves had logged just nine Ws and everybody knows that players on losing teams don't get ASG nods, regardless of how incredible their stats are (unless your name is Kevin Love or Blake Griffin, but that's an altogether different story).
The following season, '08-09, Big Al was doing it again; this time to the tune of 23 points and 11 rebounds per. Despite it being a career year for him, he once again received an All-Star snub and a short time after the break (50 games into the season) Jefferson tore his ACL and his season was over.
He came back the for the '09-10 campaign but both his rebounding and scoring averages dipped dramatically and you could just tell that he wasn't the same player post-surgery. So in the summer of 2010, Big Al found himself traded once again. This time to the Utah Jazz who were trying to replace what they'd lost in Carlos Boozer who joined the Chicago Bulls via free agency.
On paper, it looked like a solid decision.
During Al's first season in Salt Lake City, he improved his scoring and rebounding numbers ever so slightly from the previous year and appeared to be 100 percent recovered from his knee injury (evidenced by the fact that he played a full 82-game season for just the second time in his seven-year career). But because the Jazz also threw big money at Paul Millsap, keeping him in the fold, and then acquired rookie Derrick Favors in the deal that sent Deron Williams to the New Jersey Nets, it was difficult for Jefferson to re-establish himself as a truly dominating frontcourt player because he had to either share time at or play out of his position which is something he didn't have to do in Minnesota or his last year in Boston.
And unfortunately for Big Al, right now the Jazz are essentially in a state of rebuilding and who knows what's next for him?
After losing Jerry Sloan midway through the season last year and DWill at the trade deadline, the Jazz missed the Playoffs for the first time in four years and Big Al personally missed the Playoffs for the sixth year in a row. To complicate things further, essentially, the team still has a rookie coach in Tyrone Corbin. They also drafted European phenom, Enes Kanter, who along with the aforementioned Millsap and Favors, plus a returning Mehmet Okur from injury, gives the Jazz one of the most crowded frontcourts in the entire NBA.
Decisions have to be made and Jefferson could very well find himself caught up in the dreaded numbers game and could potentially be moved for the third time in his career.
Of course this is all speculation, but if it does happen, know that Big Al is going to do what he's always done since HS and now in the NBA: quietly put up numbers while nobody else is paying attention.

We were very impressed with this hotel, the rooms were beautiful and extremely clean. We had a suite and it is quite large for the price of the room. Great location and close to everything and not far from downtown. Had planned on staying at Opryland but the prices were almost double and they charge $18-$24 a day for parking. Save your money and stay at Hampton you can take free shuttle to Opryland and enjoy everything in the hotel except the rooms.

Book 'Em
Look, we're not going to pick on your pet favorite author here. Some people read Forgotten Realms and some people read Twilight and some people read Agatha Christie and some people read romance novels. We've all got some dirty little book secret that really isn't high literature, even when we get all jerky and pretend that novel about dragons and lightsabers has serious literary merit.
But the secret thing about books, all books, is that even the worst of them can be redeeming. If you sit around getting baked and watching Cleopatra 2525 with your friends, you've just wasted an afternoon. If you read some old Robert E. Howard with the exact same plot, you might at least learn a new word, and let's face it, the production values in your imagination are always going to be lot better than a low-budget 90s show.
But please, please, please don't be one of those people who'll pretend that Kevin J. Anderson is somehow the same as a real writer like Ha Jin. Because if you do that around us, that'll get you kicked in the teeth.

Re: unable to enable imessage: 'username or password is incorrect' in response to tomhhI'm replying to this because I too want to follow. I got a message about not being able facetime on an iphone 4, when I upgraded a friend's phone to iOS 5, when it used to be able to facetime. I'm not sure what I need to do. As for the iMessage, I can flip it on, but as soon as I leave the messages under settings after flipping the iMessage button on, I can't send an iMessage, so I go back and check to see if iMessage is still on and iMessage is off, it's like I never turned iMessage on. Not sure what to do and most people seem to be having different problems. I cant turn on (and keep it on) iMessage!!
amdude Oct 20, 2011 4:45 PM
Re: unable to enable imessage: 'username or password is incorrect' in response to tido2012I had a problem where iMessage would toggle itself off too. I would go into settings and toggle on then leave settings, wait a few seconds, then check the iMessage settings again it would be off.
It turns out that in settings - Restrictions I toggled off facetime and this toggles off iMessage automatically. So I had to keep facetime toggled "on" in Settings - General - Restrcitions. After I did this I went into iMessage and toggled it on and now it stays on.

Re: unable to enable imessage: 'username or password is incorrect' in response to tomhhi has the same problem in UAE ,i can use the imessage with apple ID in USA store but not on the emirati store,but still can't use it on mobile number!!!!
saadfromdubai Dec 30, 2012 5:30 AM
Re: unable to enable imessage: 'username or password is incorrect' in response to tomhhIt's a known fact that official iOS devices sold in the UAE don't have FaceTime installed and UAE is not available in the list of countries when signing up for iMessages. However, with the upgrade to iOS 6, some people are facing issues trying to activate FaceTime or iMessages even if they have an imported device that worked well with the above two services on iOS 5.
What is happening is that in IOS 6, Apple is also checking the address defined in your Apple ID associated with your account. So while creating your Apple ID, if you chose UAE as your location, you will not be able to validate your email/password in iMessages or FaceTime under iOS 6.
There is a simple way of getting this to work though. On your newly iOS 6 updated iPhone or iPad, go to the iTunes App and scroll all the way down to the bottom where it says Apple ID : (your account). Tap on your account and select View Apple ID. Here you will see an option to change your Country/Region and chances are that UAE is currently selected for your account. Change this location to another country such as UK, US or wherever else you fancy and accept the new agreement.
You might need to enter a valid address for the country you chose as your new location so make sure you have one handy. Once this is done, go back to iMessages and/or FaceTime and sign in with your Apple ID. You should now be able to sign into both of these services. Once you are signed in, you can go back to iTunes and change the location of your account back to the UAE

I liked that we were able to match the font to the same font and the color that was used on the graduation announcement. This return address label was a great accompaniment to the matching graduation announcement."
