Aug 10, 2008 - The snow globe and MIDI music at the start gives it a little 'St. Elsewhere' vibe, doesn't it? :)

Aug 10, 2008 - At last, polite conservative media pundits! I thought Fox news had driven them to extinction! I'm so happy to see rational discourse that I'll forgive the fact it is hopelessly misinformed (either that or directly representing special interests). McCain was (and still is) a hard-core Reaganite. He still preaches most of Reagan's economic policies. He fights for small government, and is pro-green busineses (because that's where the money is). How on earth does that get mistaken for democratic?

Aug 10, 2008 - .. the old man has amnesia, so he calls everyone my friend.... he also was told to be too old by republicans in the last election. This is the real flip-flop man on his issues!

Aug 11, 2008 - Hey guys, I'm going to subscribe to this. As neujack said above, it's good to see a couple of non-screaming GOP pundits at VF. He also brings up an interesting point. McCain is no democrat. I know it's August and too early to dump on him, but if he's praised for an ad positioning him as a Dem would, then he's in trouble. His bigger problem would be in using his record to define "maverick."

Aug 12, 2008 - McCain is insane!! democrat,republican,communist or any other label you decide.VIVA OBAMA!!!
VanityFairMagazine Says:
Aug 13, 2008 - For the record, these are not two Republican pundits. Todd is a reporter with no party affiliation, and Dee Dee is a former member of the Clinton administration.
