Welcome to the August 26, 2007 edition of carnival of political punditry.

Doug Ragan presents Can We Do This BEFORE The Democrats Figure It Out? posted at I’m A Pundit Too, saying, “Bipartisan stupidity. That is the best way to describe the past several years. I am absolutely convinced that our government is in a contest to see which party can become the most hated. Republicans lost control of Congress because they were incredibly stupid. Democrats took power, promising change, only to have Congressional approval ratings at an all time low.”

Troy Stouffer presents Will Petraeus Report on the Troop Surge Really Matter? posted at I’m A Pundit Too, saying, “On September 15th, General David Petraeus, the commanding General in Iraq, will deliver his report to the President and Congress on the progress of the troop surge. Almost immediately after Petraeus was unanimously confirmed by the Senate to be the next commander in Iraq, the same politicians who voted to confirm him started to ridicule and question his ability to lead.”

Madeleine Begun Kane presents Yet Another Snow Job? posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.

Hell’s Handmaiden presents Who says we haven’t done anything for the people of Iraq? posted at Hell’s Handmaiden.

Ian Welsh presents Reaping What You Sow: Hedge Fund and Housing Bubble Edition posted at The Agonist, saying, “What’s happening to the housing and financial markets right now is the entirely foreseeable consequence of past deliberate policy decisions by the Fed and the Bush administration. The reason a bail-out is finally occurring is because the people who matter (to Bush) are getting hurt.”

Ian Welsh presents Is The US an Operating Democracy Any More? posted at The Agonist, saying, “The elites in the country are doing what they want to do no matter what the majority opinion.”

Ian Welsh presents “No Difference” Hillary posted at The Agonist, saying, “Hilary Clinton wants you to believe that she’s no different than the other Democratic presidential candidates: but the truth is that she’s very different, and not in a good way.”

Jack Le Moine presents Blogging Fisk - 1st. Impressions posted at Jack Le Moine’s Blog.

David Hayes presents How John McCain Would Lose the “War on Terror” posted at Frozen Toothpaste.

Blue Dog presents Will China Show the Department of Homeland Security the Way? posted at Blue Dog Thoughts, saying, “Comments on increasing federally funded video surveillance and other monitoring in the United States.”
