The Spite Caucus

The geniuses at Sadly, No explain how it all works.

And it’s working. Just last month, the wingnut bloggers were whining about how poorly the McCain campaign was being run. Now even Michelle Malkin is getting excited about voting for him, simply because he’s decided to play the Spite Card that worked so well for Nixon back in ‘68.

As I’ve said before: spite works, and good liberals need to stop pretending that we can get people to vote for our candidate merely by smiling and presenting them with the facts.

It's true. If we lived in a country of reasonable people, a contest between this fellow...



...and this fellow...



...would be called as a Technical Knock Out.

But, that said, I think we owe McCain and his mouth-breathing campaign managers a debt of gratitude for elevating Paris Hilton's stature. Bravo!
