ISRAELI AIRFORCE DOIN' SOME VERMIN CONTROL

This is some fabulous work, showing the integration of intelligence, technology, and targeting. But it still has its limitations.

Israel has to just drain the swamp. Forget about shooting the alligators, they just need to drain the swamp.

Drain the swamp.

AND NOW, A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM OUR BELOVED RABBI CHAIM RICHMAN!!:

TIME TO PICK UP THAT STALE CRUST OF ROMNEY THEY TOSSED US.

Sorry, my friends, the RINOs have won. Romney is obviously going to be the GOP nominee. If Santorum or Newt had the horses to win, they'd have exhibited a lot more strength than they've shown so far. C'est fini, c'est tout.

As I pointed out a few weeks back, Romney's victory is really a reflection on the fundamental weaknesses of his opponents not his own strengths, but you know what? In the land of the quadraplegics, the one-legged man is king. At least the establishment RINOs ended up supporting the man they torpedoed 4 years ago.

But Romney had one key advantage over Gingrich and Santorum (Paul isn't really Republican, although his relative success strengthens this point) that is often overlooked. He's run a national campaign before. Since 1952, only 2 GOP nominees have won that never ran nationally before: Barry Goldwater and George W. Bush. And Bush was running just 7 years after his Dad's 3d consecutive national campaign (1980, 1984, and 1988), and thus simply stepped into the old man's shoes, inheriting his cadre of supporters and contacts. So Goldwater was really the only one to legitimately hack a path to the nomination on his first try.

If Newt had pulled the trigger 4 years ago, he might have avoided, ohhhhh, 50% of the unforced errors he made this time, and won it easily on his second shot. But Newt stayed in his cozy thinktank offices, while Romney chewed the rubber chicken from Iowa to Pennsylvania. And made thousands of valuable contacts.

To summarize: it sure helps winning the nomination this time around, if you've had even a rudimentary trial run 4 years earlier.

GOV. BREWER PUTS ON A MINI-CLINIC

After she graduated, they canceled the GOP class in "Effective Communications," apparently.

Just watched Az. Gov. Jan Brewer on MTP--whatta refreshing lady. My fellow Repubs, here is the handbook, Gov. Brewer read it, why doesn't anyone else?!:

1) Made dramatic personal endorsement for the Az. primary, big smile, optimistic, said not one word about the ones she didn't endorse.

2) Made a few simple, REPEATED, clear points about how Obama is obtusely helping to destroy her state.

3) NAILED Cal. Gov. Jerry Brown when he had the gall to utter the phrase "guns are going from the US to Mexico," WRAPPED FAST & FURIOUS AROUND OBAMA'S NECK.

4) Politely but firmly NAILED that hatchet-faced hack David Gregory when he tried to change the subject on her, to help Brown and hurt her.

5) Closed emphasizing how happy she is with the candidate she endorsed (oh, it was Mitt), and how "we are going to work as hard as we can so he can win this week." [Are you listening, Newt? That is ALWAYS the right answer when someone asks you if you are going to win. Got it? ALWAYSALWAYSALWAYS!!!]

Let's review:

She stayed on message.

She projected a positive, cheerful character and demeanor.

She exploited an error by her opponent.

She didn't step on her dick.

She stayed on message.

She smelled out the slimy media trick, called him on it, and avoided it.

And did I mention that she stayed on message?

The whole thing was about 6 minutes, just beautiful, a clinic in GOP communications. And it's not rocket science...Is it?

If Newt had been able to do this, he'd have wrapped it up already. Or Santorum or Romney, too, for that matter.

Thank you, Gov. Brewer. I think I love you!

OBAMA TREASON WATCH, I.

[wherein we catalogue a perforce incomplete list of the various atrocities committed by President Barack Hussein Obama and his agents, which atrocities would never be committed unless he was an America-hating traitor to the core]:

1) Obama refuses to allow a Knesset member from Israel, Michael Ben Ari, a visitor's visa to the US because he considers da Jooooooo a "terrorist."
