Man’s real good on politics, despite what he says. Also, that crack about Larry King getting married 12 times was priceless. via
Oh well. Whatever. Nevermind.

He sounds so trustworthy. Maybe just this once I won’t get burned….
GOP delegate Gabriel Nathan Schwartz, 29, of Denver, had a bad Republican Convention. Hours after Gov. Palin gave her speech Mr. Schwartz thought he’d picked up a lovely lady at his hotel bar. He invited her back to his room, she made some drinks and he took his clothes off. And thats all he remembers. His lady friend had robbed him.
According to the police report, here’s what was taken:
The haul included a $30,000 watch, a $20,000 ring, a necklace valued at $5,000, earrings priced at $4,000 and a Prada belt valued at $1,000, police said.
Only a GOP delegate and/or member of a boy band would be rocking stuff like that. But what kind of character is this Schwartz’s fellow?
In an interview filmed the afternoon of Sept. 3 and posted on the Web site LinkTV.org, Schwartz was candid about how he envisioned change under a McCain presidency.
“Less taxes and more war,” he said, smiling. He said the U.S. should “bomb the hell” out of Iran because the country threatens Israel.
Asked by the interviewer how America would pay for a military confrontation with Iran, he said the U.S. should take the country’s resources.
“We should plant a flag. Take the oil, take the money,” he said. “We deserve reimbursement.”
A few hours after the interview, an unknown woman helped herself to Schwartz’s resources.
Well played.
FOTB The Cooler reminded me to post the Sarah Palin baby name generator. Came up with “Flack Gobbler Palin” for me.
