Obama's famous line today is exactly what we need.
I'm talking about his quote "Old Boy's Club? In the McCain Campaign, that's called a staff meeting!"

Humor. Mockery. Ridicule.

Chris Matthews was griping about Obama having a lack of passion. Bombast and temper tantrums aren't Obama's style. Besides, as mentioned in various discussions, we don't want FAUX Noise blathering about the "angry black man." We don't need to provide the right-wing media with another "Dean Scream."

But humor doesn't give FAUX Noise ammunition.

Mockery of McCain's policies works. Ridicule of McCain's promises when compared to his record works. Making McCain the butt of late night comedy shows works.

That's because getting people to laugh helps cement those memes we're trying to spread in people's minds.

So yeah, we've got to keep going with the mockery and ridicule. It's a potent weapon!

3. Yup, that was a sock 'em in the gut and then kick them move!
And makes an excellent sound bite for the TeeVees...

And there isn't a rebuttal to it.
