Alan Keyes responds to the question, "Who would vote for Alan Keyes?"
-[Made up] headline of the day-
"Alan Keyes' "Draft Alan Keyes" Campaign a Success." At least, that's my take on it -- AP's is "Keyes Makes 3rd Bid for Presidency." The ice cold reception Alan Keyes got to his petition to draft himself isn't putting a damper on his enthusiasm in his run for president. The fact that nearly no one even wants him to run doesn't seem to be a factor in his decision.
"There isn't a standout," Keyes told D-list right wing radio host Janet Parshall on her show. "I'm like a lot of folks, who have just looked at it and been unmoved." Plenty of people have looked at Keyes and been unmoved as well. According to Right Wing Watch, " [The] last time we checked, the petition urging him to run had only garnered 1700 signatures over the course of three months."
Holy Moley, he's an unstoppable machine! (AP)
-That's about the size of it-
From McClatchy Baghdad Bureau reporter Leila Fadel's blog:
"I had an argument with an American woman," the woman said, "She told me look at us, we are free. I can stand in the middle of Washington D.C. and curse the President of America."
The woman in blue rebutted the comment. Iraq is free, she insisted.
"I can stand in the middle of Baghdad and," she paused. "uh. Curse the President of America."
And that's pretty much the only way you can stand in the middle of Baghdad. Curse anyone else and you're so dead. (Baghdad Observer)
