Your Abbreviated Pundit Round-Up

Your one stop pundit shop.

Richard Cohen explains that while Barack Obama may have a lot of charisma, his character is in question because of his lack of experience.  And apparently the only experience that could answer that character question is if he was tortured while a POW. Not that John McCain is perfect or anything (more on this moronic screed later today).

David Brooks is thankful that George Bush is stubborn, self-confident and secretive, because the “surge” is working!  The naysayers may harp on the fact that 1,073 U.S. troops and more than 20,000 Iraqis have died since it began and complain that the benchmarks that it was supposed to enable haven’t happened, but they’ll eat their words because victory is just around the corner.

Jonah Goldberg, renowned energy and environmental expert, says that it’s time to end our “self-imposed embargo” and let the drilling begin.  He didn’t mention what he thought the oil companies should do with the millions of acres worth of leases that they are currently sitting on.

Tara Wall is shocked that Barack Obama is inciting fear by suggesting that Republicans will use his name and his color in an attempt to make voters distrust him.  What?  Does he think Republicans will suggest he’s a closet Muslim or say that there’s videotape of his wife ranting against “whitey”?  That’s crazy talk.

William McGurn takes on the pro-choice Catholic supporters of Barack Obama and points out that they want judges who will “impose their own views upon the law on issues that ought properly be left to the American people.” Because we wouldn’t want anyone imposing their own views on anyone’s choices.  

Jerry Seinfeld pays tribute to George Carlin:

You could certainly say that George downright invented modern American stand-up comedy in many ways. Every comedian does a little George.
