Tom Tancredo: Bomb Mots
He would deter Islamic militants’ nuclear attacks on the United States by threatening to bomb Mecca and Medina. Mexicans should start practicing duck-and-cover. Foul/Falling
Joe Biden: Talking Guy
Good new book, but what a title to frighten away the punters. Also Joe knows he talks too much, but he can’t shut up. Something to do with his childhood stutter? Rain/Cloudy
Barack Obama: Treading Water
He’s in the foreign policy deep-end, and Hillary Clinton is trying to push him under. Don’t worry, Barack, she’s the one who voted for the war. Obama wins on points. Fair/Rising
John Edwards: Our Crowd
Poor little rich boy is trying to be a populist. But he’s not gotten through to the minimum-wage crowd. They suspect a trick. Only his hairdresser knows for sure. Rain/Cloudy
Rudy Giuliani: Magic Date
Did you know he was mayor of New York City on 9/11? If you didn’t know, he was mayor of NYC on 9/11, you should know he was on deck on 9/11. Let the angels sing: “Giuliani was mayor of The Big Bagel on 9/11.” Sing we now. Foul/Falling
Mitt Romney: Moving Target
Mitt has flipped to please the base, and the base hasn’t responded. All that Massachusetts liberalism leaves it mark. Rain/Cloudy

George W. Bush: Up Is Down
The National Intelligence Estimate says that the risk of al-Qaeda attacks is up, but Bush says it’s down. But then he still thinks that invading Iraq and sitting on his hands in the Middle East for six years was policy. You can go sunbathing in the dark too. Foul/Falling
Dick Cheney: Hours Of Power
Cheney cooked up the Iraq war, and it’s been a disaster. For two hours on Saturday, when Bush was under the knife, the veep could’ve concocted a war with Iran. No word on whether he ordered up some torture. Foul/Falling
John McCain: Last Campaign
Better loved our war hero cannot be, except by the Republican base. He’s for the war, OK. And he’s for legalizing immigrants and campaign finance reform, not OK. Better the dress-wearing, divorce-prone, gay-loving Rudy Giuliani. Foul/Falling
Hillary Clinton: Cold Case
The rap on George W. Bush is too much secrecy. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet! Nobody is more secretive than Hillary. She snows the press, but she can’t project warmth. Show her, Bill. Rain/Cloudy
Jim Gilmore: Silent Exit
He’s carried himself back to Old Virginny. Was he ever in the race? Why did one of Virgina’s many non-entity governors think he should be president? All he ever did was cut a car tax. Foul/Falling

George W. Bush: Special CaseWho would’ve thought the president had such a kind heart? He let Scooter Libby walk. Pity about all the other clemency cases. But they’re not Cheney cronies. Foul/Falling
Dick Cheney: Resting Easy
Sleep well, Dick. Scooter is ruined, but he’s not going to jail. Now push George for a full pardon, and Scooter is back in business—on K Street. What are friends for? Foul/Falling
Fred Thompson: Heatstroke
Those lazy, hazy days of summer—just the time for a lazy, hazy candidate. Such a big country, so much talent, and Fred is the front-runner. Ah, the sweet mystery of B movies. Rain/Cloudy
Harry Reid: Nevada Dealer
Harry can’t hold the Democrats together, but he can keep nuclear waste out of Nevada. Harry is an unlikely front man for the casinos, but he sure keeps them winning. Fair/Rising
Hillary Clinton: Girl Interrupted
What’s a girl to do? Barack gets the money and Bill gets the crowds. Makes you wonder about democracy, doesn’t it? An unknown senator and a cheating husband get raves, and Hillary gets negatives. Rain/Cloudy
Gordon Brown: Health Threat
He knew that he’d have trouble with the U.K. health service. But he didn’t know that some of the doctors were terrorists. See what you get with socialized medicine? Rain/Cloudy
