It's unlikely you'll vote for Obama if you....
1. aren't a news anchor. 2. read the New York Times for pretty much the same reason the NSA monitors radio transmissions. 3. automatically conclude that the person laughing in the car next to you must be listening to Rush. Or maybe Obama off teleprompter. 4. dislocated your shoulder trying to explain Obama's position on Iraq to co-workers. 5. find autobiographies generally more interesting when the author has, you know, done something. 6. remember the Carter Administration. 7. would give a month's pay to play Jack Bauer's partner on 24. 8. increasingly agree with Mark Steyn that "almost everything [Obama] says is, well, nuts." 9. think it's relevant — despite what the sophisticates say — that several of Obama's mentors and associates have displayed a dislike for America or a disdain for Americans. 10. think it's relevant that several of McCain's mentors and associates are American heroes of historic magnitude. 11. think about 9/11 more than once a year. 12. have concluded that Larry the Cable Guy makes way more sense than Howard Dean. 13. feel a little safer during turbulence when your pilot is a calm "white haired dude." 14. thought about Hillary's 3:00 a.m. phone call ad when you first heard about Russian tanks in Georgia. 15. wonder why Obama felt it necessary to give a speech on patriotism. 16. get sorta creeped out by 200,000 Germans chanting "Obama! Obama!" 17. think the jury may still be out on Harvard Law School. 18. suspect "merci beaucoup" is French for "empty suit." 19. doubt that teleprompters are really magical dispensers of good ideas. 20. know in your gut that defiantly withstanding 4 1/2 years of torture trumps all of Obama's qualifications and accomplishments combined — regardless of what the elite pundits say. 21. repeatedly find yourself asking "Change to what?" 22. have ever used the term "pompous twit' in the same sentence with "Marx," "Marcuse," or "Sartre." 23. don't like being told what to do — especially by someone who hasn't done it. 24. really like ticking off the media, Hollywood, academics, and PC busybodies everywhere. 25. weren't born yesterday.

I had dinner with a McCain supporter last night who could pronounce Sartre. He had two MA's and was working on his PHD.

Is there something I'm missing, cos I dont understand at all the "merci beaucoup" bit. What is the link to the emty suit?
