Prior to the Internet, disordered malcontents like Stoller and Markos Moulitsas displayed their literary skills on public rest room walls. Thanks to high tech they now possess an international forum, but the intellectual content of their work remains pre-kindergarten.

The term “cancer ridden” is an imprecise term used not to describe a medical condition; rather, it is used to have a jolly good laugh at a potentially fatal disease.

Let us remember Matt Stoller’s definition of cancer-ridden as anyone who has had cancer. (He didn’t think that one through, I’m afraid.) (You know what I’m saying?)

But this is atypical of the affliction and really in this age of medical treatment it is almost unheard of in western society to have cancer spread from a malignant melanoma. Or so says my doctor, who is ironically the very same doctor that treats McCain.

Something that I always point out that the sun worshiping aspects of the pre-1980′s of slathering SPF 4000 from head to toe has resulted in many people in the 40+ age group to have some form of skin problem. Which of course highlights the fact that as many people get this treated with no ill affects; supporting the point that he was treated and healthy.

O could have made a good run this primary, then spent the next 4-8 years holding a hearing or 2 on his NATO subcommittee. Instead, he played the race card in South Carolina (a tactic Chaz Rangel called ‘absolutely stupid’ — and I don’t think Rangel meant the stupid controversy over LBJ, he meant going for the race jugular on the Clintons). Now he’s nominated prematurely. Crying race on a popular woman Democrat, he threw the Dems into an identity politics minefield that could cost them a devastating and well-deserved defeat. He’s 47. What’s his hurry?

I think he’s afraid he won’t be so adorably cute in 8 years. He doesn’t want to work to keep his tall, slim figure — let’s face it, that’s his main political asset — into his ’50s. Imminent gray hair, man-boobs and wrinkles can skew a celebrity candidate’s perspective.

You’d think someone so concerned about the openness of McCain’s medical records, might wonder about that – if they were intellectually honest that is. (snark)

To ask the question is to answer it.

Lefties being lefties, they are too absorbed in the adoration of their self-deification to reflect on this basic truth.

Hopefully we will all exit this world in a benign fashion. But we are all mature enough, hopefully, to know that doesn’t always happen. (Oxygen deprivation during a Joe Biden speech comes to mind here.)

Matt Stoller- what a jerk!

Otherwise, nicely done Mark.
