David Gregory is losing his glow, not Obama

By GottaLaff

Yesterday I watched as Campbell Brown rabidly frothed over how (according to her) Obama's FISA vote has his supporters screaming, "this disqualifies him for president in my book!" She gyrated into knots bellowing, "He's taking a lot of heat!!!!" (And yes, she had four exclamation points... I saw them come out of her Senor mouth.) Today, David Gregory was huffing and puffing about how "Obama is losing his glow!!"

First: Obama had a glow?

Next: Apparently, they don't read the L.A. Times.

Reaction has been swift and -- aside from the blogosphere and some newspaper columnists -- notably mild.

"We're willing to work through this period," said Richard Parker, president of the liberal Americans for Democratic Action, one of the party's most enduring advocacy groups. In the long run, he said, the organization's "serious concerns" about Obama are far outweighed by its disagreements with Republican John McCain.

Gerald Austin, a veteran Democratic strategist, put it more succinctly: "When I hear people complaining . . . I tell them I have one thing to say: 'President John McCain. Three Supreme Court appointments.' That's all I need to say."

There. And they didn't even feel the need to use exclamation points.
