Unmitigated gall 101

Heh: "There is one theme, however, that runs through not-for-attribution conversations with both sides [in the Clinton-Obama race]: Each candidate thinks the other has unmitigated gall."

Is there a way to mitigate gall? And if so, how would one proceed?

Thought this might be a topic of interest to you. It looks like a certain USC grad and current NDLS student "snuck" her way into the process:

At a faculty meeting that took place yesterday morning, the faculty elected the following individuals to the committee that, under the leadership of Thomas Burish, the University Provost, will conduct the search for the next dean of the Law School. Those individuals are:

Professor A.J. Bellia

Professor Margaret Brinig

Professor Nicole Garnett

Katherine Kirkpatrick

Professor Michael Kirsch

Professor Vincent Rougeau

(The Provost remains free to appoint one person of his own choosing
to this committee. If he decides to make an appointment of that
sort, he will choose from among the tenured faculty of the University.)

:-) Now THAT'S funny!!!

I watched Bill O'Reilly last night and saw Hillary Clinton and him kissing each other's butt and giggling like schoolgirls. I cannot imagine that lovey-dovey exchange going over well with the Democratic Base, and I'm actually shocked that she would openly thank Fox News for being more supportive of her than any other outlet and Bill O'Reilly all but endorsing her outright. McSame/Clinton, we don't need another 4 years of Fox (nothing but good)News telling us how great the war is going and how great the economy is, as someone takes cuts ahead of you in the rice line at Costco.

A&A - isn't Absinthe an example of mitigated gall ?

(grin)

[Braylon]

Sandy. You really need to get that sand out from your crack. It's really making you angry!!!!

[Brendan]

Sandy, I realize this whole "McSame" thing is part of the Democrats' spin campaign, but really, calling McCain "McSame" is really rather McLame.

Sandy Underpants is a tool.

[Youngblai]

Sandy's got a point. Seriously.

What does it say about how these things work that Bill O'Reilly is willing to let Hillary even come on his show?

What does it say about Hillary "We won't hold a debate on Fox News" to go on there?

Sorry, but there's somethign rotten in Denmark when our only three choices for Chief Executive are Senators. Tell me again why we don't have a viable third party? Because it's awfully weird that a Congress which only has 14-17% approval rating is spawning all three choices for an office whose current occupant is hovering around 20-30% approval.

I don't know about mitigating gall, but I know how to mitigate Gaul: Just send a Caesar, a couple of goose-stepping Germans, and a labor union or two. You'll bring the French to their knees in no time (not that they don't already spend a lot of time there...).

[Brendan]

Heh.

It doesn't say much of anything since O'Reilly had been trying to get both Clinton and Obama on his show for at least a year . . . and it's not like he doesn't let people on his show who he thinks are idiots (e.g., Al Sharpton).

It takes unmitigated gall to think yourself worthy of being President. Anyone who wants it doesn't deserve it.

Bummer about all that. Bring on the Taxi Drivers and Bartenders. Vince Papale for President!

I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member.

Look what the Obama campaign dug up from "The War Room"

I'll add that the most offensive part of the video is James Carville's "New Jack City"-style hat.

I think Andrew's private hell is France.

[Andrew]

Yeah, those saggy naked titties on the beach of Cannes scarred me for life! I'd go back to Monaco though (which is not really France, of course), and I still want to do Normandy, and possibly Brittany. I'm not much interested in the French wine regions, except maybe Alsace, and I prefer the Swiss Alps to the French Alps. All in all, I don't think you'll find me in France anytime soon.
