« The Sinbad Factor | Main | Fallon Out » Campaign Diavlog11 Mar 2008 03:28 pm Jon Chait and I talk about the presidential campaign. For two guys who agree that Obama > Clinton > McCain, I think we wind up disagreeing about a surprising amount: I feel like basic principles of post composition require a sentence to go here at the bottom.

nah its funnier that he called out the rule. Also funny that I totally scrolled to be able to see under the video, expecting just such a sentence. 
Matt, you say that McCain wants to put justices on the Supreme Court who "will make abortion illegal everywhere." This is not true. The most that any Supreme Court justices could do is overrule Roe v. Wade, which would simply take the judicial branch out of abortion law, allowing the legislative and executive branches to do whatever they wanted with abortion (keep it legal, make it illegal, or anything in between). For example, California and New York legalized abortion before Roe v. Wade; presumably they'd stay that way if Roe v. Wade were overruled.
...you look petite.
Probably because you sound like a nutcase when you say things like Mcain's "real dream is to get as many Americans as possible to die in wars." http://bloggingheads.tv/diavlogs/9349?in=00:25:36&out=00:25:58
That's pretty meta, Matt. You also could have gone with Ceci n'est pas une analyse.
In the still image Matt looks like a jolly little fat man.
Really Dave? 'Cuz that's just the kind of catchy vituperation I want to see from Matt. It's like Hitch, without all the booze and the neoconservatism.
I hope you don't say anything in these dialogues that you don't also say in your blog entries, because I bet there are a lot of people who skip the videos and just read the blogs, because we are doing this at times or places where it would be inconvenient to listen, but not to read.
Ditto to TKD's statement.
You both need to join the Hair Club for Men. And yes, snark about your physical appearance on the Table has continued in the form of snark about your physical appearance on BhTV.
The interesting thing about composition here is that you can apparently end a sentence with a video.
More diva-logs with Jon please.
"Really Dave? 'Cuz that's just the kind of catchy vituperation I want to see from Matt. It's like Hitch, without all the booze and the neoconservatism." Yeah and it's the same reason the dittoheads listen to Rush. He says stupid things that the home town fans sitting in the bleachers love. However it doesn't change minds or engage people in the discussion. Is that what you want to be?
Actually, the magazine that you now write for had an interesting article about what would (will?) happen if Roe gets overturned. The article was published by a GW Law professor maybe a year ago. Read it, Matt. For the sake of intellectual honesty, it's probably not fair to say that the Supreme Court will make abortion illegal everywhere. In fact, it's pretty questionable whether Congress could even constitutionally intrude upon a matter so clearly within the traditional police powers of the States. No, what you'd get is a patchwork of state laws. Abortion would probably remain legal in most places where it is now readily accessible.

Enough about Matt's appearance, than whom I challange anyone to find a button cuter.
sorry for the muli post. The page hung and I must have hit the button again. My bad.
Instead of stopping judging and ragging on women for their appearances, our society has started doing it to men too.

You're correct, but you could have just put your second sentence from above down below.
