More about the Yule Goat

Right now I wish the voting took place tomorrow. Seems hard to believe that things could get better for Democrats at this point. I'd like to see a press for 60 democratic senators.

I used to wonder who Flatt was, and why Gramm should always give Flatt what he wanted, no matter what his 300 million fellow Americans might want. Some reporter finally wondered that too, and looked him up. Flatt was the owner of a small printshop and while he was reliably conservative, he wasn't quite as anti-government as Gramm claimed to be. He said 70% of his business came from government agencies.
Joe the Plumber is the Dicky Flatt of 2008, a blank canvas on which a candidate can project his own biases.
Act III, Scene 6 - PLACING THE BLAME
Int. Hofstra University Debate Hall – Night
Deserted. Bob Scheiffer is gone. The people and media types are gone.
Barack and Michelle are gone. Cindy McCain is gone. In a darkened dressing room, only George Bush and John McCain remain. Tension and the threat of violence in the air.
Bush
Look, kid, er, old man, I - how much you weigh, John?
When you weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds
you were beautiful. You coulda been another Billy Conn,
and that skunk you got for a campaign manager, he brought
you along too fast.
McCain
It wasn't him, George, it was you. Remember that night
in the Senate you came down to my dressing room and you
said, "Kid, er, old man, this ain't your night. The country’s
going for the price on Obama." You remember that? "This
ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Obama apart!
So what happens? He gets the title shot on January 20th
outdoors in D.C. and what do I get? A one-way ticket
to Palooka-ville! You was my President, George, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just
a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money.
Bush
Oh I had some bets down for you. You married that beer
heiress. You saw some money.
McCain
You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a
contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which
is what I am, let's face it. It was you, George.
