![]() My 2008 posts are all there in the archive. You can disagree with me, but don't portray me as another "Yes We Can" dreamer. I have never apologized for that choice, because I still think McCain - John McCain - would have been worse, and the Republican Party would be in a far weaker spot right now if McCain were President. I was sober and rational, but - confronted with the 2 major party candidates - I picked Obama. (By the way, the expression "hey, rube" is traditionally "a rallying call, or a cry for help, used by carnies in a fight with outsiders." It's not a way of saying "I think you are a dummy from country.")Īnyway, Stacy's in a dither because, last Friday - predicting Obama's 2012 campaign strategy and referring to the emotionalism of the 2008 Obama campaign - I dropped a footnote to say that even though I voted for Obama, I wasn't caught up in the emotionalism. I doubt if Glenn answers to the dogwhistle "rube," but I do think the fracas will be more amusing with Glenn there. Which is fine with me, because I've ducked down the alleyway, and Stacy is going to be fighting Thers, who might have "Eli" with him. McCain's post is titled "Ann Althouse: Rube." The word "rube" denotes a dumb rural character, but McCain uses it not for it's actual meaning, but because he's noticed there's a way that Glenn Reynolds uses it, and he seems to imagine that using Glenn's word will bring Glenn in on his team. Robert Stacy McCain should be pleased that Thers decided to attack me on the same day, because I wouldn't have rewarded his attack with a link if it wasn't funny to find myself in the "Clowns to the left of me/Jokers to the right" position. unless the other one, sensing a touch to the chokepoint on his neck, backs off and shrieks "You choked me." First one to unball his fists and put his palms up defensively loses. I'll find a high vantage point and watch the fracas. I'm thinking of ducking down the alleyway and letting the 2 men collide with each other.
