7. The first time he actually made me happy about anything he said was in 2008.

I remember where I was, too. Driving up into the Sepulveda Pass, listening to all-news radio and a report about Frank Luntz's grim pronouncements about the GOP's chances in the upcoming general election. We had Barack Obama and Luntz & Co had John McCain. Luntz talked about the runaway Obama train and ruefully said "I don't know how to beat this guy."

That asshole had made me grind my teeth in disgust FAR too many times. But, finally, he was making me smile, smile, smile. From then, until this very moment while I write this post about it. What a moment! SO damn satisfying!
