This is great! Barney rules!

Bah humbug, Scrooge! I loved it!

Best parts: Barney sitting with the other dogs in the "press briefing" (smarter than most of the other dogs there), and Karl Rove's bit--"no blue ornaments!"

Sunday morning OT: Time named W Man of the Year, so you better reconsider, Bill.

Time also named Power Line Blog of the Year. They've got a post about it up on their site and mention you and LGF for all the work on Rathergate.

Well, yes, that is the kind of soft power that Qutub wrote about.

Won't load for me, so I can only assume that by linking it, you've overloaded the White House's bandwidth and/or crashed their servers with the massive traffic spike. Nice going Bill.

Oh the Horror, The Horror.

" Time named W Man of the Year, so you better reconsider, Bill."

Retread, as you probably know, since 1927, TIME Magazine has chosen a man, woman, or idea that "for better or worse, has most influenced events in the preceding year." The operative phrase here is "for better or worse." Whether his influence was good or bad is a matter of opinion.

Others on the list:
Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Ayatullah Khomeini, Newt Gingrich. So, as you see, the "Person of the Year" status does not necessarily mean you are a great person. But, I'm sure you know that.

This is how the Bush administration publicly disavows any connection to the movie industry. The part where they slip a copy into the Weinstein's Academy screeners is just putting the boot in...

There's so much funny stuff in there. Josh Bolten, the head of the Office of Management and Budget questioning Andy Card about the purchase of three boxes of $.70 tinsel, saying "That's almost $2.40!"

Ah, good stuff.

The first step is admitting that you have a problem.

After Barney sees the reporter broadcasting the hit-piece on him, Barney rips the TV plug out of the socket and gives three growls that sound like "I hate you!"

I've watched it about 10 times now. Cracks me up every time.
