Instapundit: Filled With "Hope"

On Vodka in Ukraine: "I certainly hope that this story is true."
On the Dems: "Maybe there's hope for the Democrats yet"
On Voting in Iraq: "I hope that the meme spreads."
More on the Dems: "I hope that this happens."
On American diplomacy: "I sure hope we're that smart . . . ."

Tough Medicine for Dems

Opie look alike and Bush/Cheney '04 blogger Patrick Ruffini prescribes the cure for what ails the Dems: ditching the ubiquitous Daily Kos! But Gossip Sheet heard on deep, deep, deep background that the Bush team's tech leader was effectively clueless. Translation: a luck out of epic proportions. Time will tell. Developing....

Burned Out On Buzz

Jeff Jarvis, Entertainment Weekly founder, Conde Nast web warrior and blogger, is suffering from a case of overexposure, some say. The salt-and-pepper blog cheerleader has been all over the cable dial, snuggling in to MSNBC this weekend for their so-so coverage of the boffo Iraqi elections premiere. "Doesn't Jarvis know only pretty people should be on tv?", said one insider. "He sucks up all the oxygen in the room", says another. Look for blogger-in-arms Glenn "Big Tenn." Reynolds to make make his bid for primetime access sometime soon. Developing...
