Watching these conservative comics is akin to watching Fox News fumble their way through a horrible Daily Show with Jon Stewart rip off. An even better football simile would be that watching the above set, as Dennis Quaid in Days of Thunder put it, is like watching ‘a monkey fucking a football.’ I’ve always wanted to use that.
Why can’t they do this without putting the agenda first?
Check out The Daily Show making fun of Biden’s recent gaffe. But Biden’s a Democrat! So what, making fun of his gaffe is funny.
Shame. Shame. Shame.
Police sources tell KDKA that a campaign worker has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter ‘B’ in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.
Ashley Todd, 20, of Texas, initially told police that she was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield and that the suspect became enraged and started beating her after seeing her GOP sticker on her car.
Police investigating the alleged attack, however, began to notice some inconsistencies in her story and administered a polygraph test.
Authorities, however, declined to release the results of that test.
Investigators did say that they received photos from the ATM machine and ‘the photographs were verified as not being the victim making the transaction.’
This afternoon, a Pittsburgh police commander told KDKA Investigator Marty Griffin that Todd confessed to making up the story.
Almost as desperate as the McCain campaign.
The RNC has released a new web video. It is 12 minutes long. It is 12 minutes of Fred Thompson doing his “fake president” act telling us how horrible an Obama win would be.
Its the kind of situation that makes you wonder if someone paid them to take the fall.
18 days ago, Hugh Hewitt said that the race was closing and it would lead to a McCain win.
Here is a chart of the polling from Hewitt’s prediction to date:
Here is the stock price for Sen. Obama on Intrade since Hewitt made his prediction:
The Hewitt Indicator still holds and it flashes BLUE for an Obama win, so far.
There’s no Bush better than Will Ferrell.
Let’s give Damon Weaver an event to cover in Washington in January…
If Sen. Obama wins, and Democrats increase their majorities in the House and Senate, will conservatives/Republicans still incessantly try to lecture those of us on the left about what “real” and “patriotic” Americans believe? I honestly thought they would tamp it down a little bit after the “thumpin’” of 2006, but they still lecture us about everything under the sun. Would losses across the board really shut their pieholes?
I mean, who saw this coming??? Heh.
Mr. Obama has met challenge after challenge, growing as a leader and putting real flesh on his early promises of hope and change. He has shown a cool head and sound judgment. We believe he has the will and the ability to forge the broad political consensus that is essential to finding solutions to this nation’s problems.
In the same time, Senator John McCain of Arizona has retreated farther and farther to the fringe of American politics, running a campaign on partisan division, class warfare and even hints of racism. His policies and worldview are mired in the past. His choice of a running mate so evidently unfit for the office was a final act of opportunism and bad judgment that eclipsed the accomplishments of 26 years in Congress.
Given the particularly ugly nature of Mr. McCain’s campaign, the urge to choose on the basis of raw emotion is strong. But there is a greater value in looking closely at the facts of life in America today and at the prescriptions the candidates offer. The differences are profound.
John McCain and the Republican National Committee reported having a combined $84 million as of last week to spend before Election Day, according to reports filed Thursday with the Federal Election Commission.
McCain, who has accepted public financing for his campaign, is restricted in his spending. As of Oct. 15 he had more than $25 million in hand, but more than $1 million debts. The RNC, which has been helping his candidacy, had more than $59 million in the bank.
At McCain’s spending rate of $1.5 million a day, the Arizona senator likely has only $12 million to spend in the next 11 days before the Nov. 4 election.
“He called the police emergency line because he was angry he was stuck in traffic. The 911 call came into the City of Alexandria on Oct. 21st That’s creating some buzz because it appears to come from Joe McCain, John McCain’s brother.” [Link]
She’s pretty unintelligible as usual. Seriously, can’t understand what she’s saying for 90% of it, but its intriguing the way they can’t just come out and say an abortion clinic bomber is a terrorist.
Guess they don’t want to offend the base of the base.
UPDATE: Ricky Gervais says Palin is David Brent. Kind of makes sense when you consider how she talks without thinking.
This is like Bizarro World. Where the Democrats are the disciplined ones and the GOP is acting out Lord of the Flies.
The candidate’s strategists in recent days have become increasingly vocal in interviews and conference calls about what they call unfair news media coverage and Barack Obama’s wide financial advantage — both complaints laying down a post-election storyline for why their own efforts proved ineffectual.These public comments offer a whiff of an increasingly acrid behind-the-scenes GOP meltdown—a blame game played out through not-for-attribution comments to reporters that operatives know will find their way into circulation.
Top Republican officials have let it be known they are distressed about McCain’s organization. Coordination between the McCain campaign and Republican National Committee, always uneven, is now nearly dysfunctional, with little high-level contact and intelligence-sharing between the two.
‘There is no communication,’ lamented one top Republican. ‘It drives you crazy.’
At his Northern Virginia headquarters, some McCain aides are already speaking of the campaign in the past tense. Morale, even among some of the heartiest and most loyal staffers, has plummeted. And many past and current McCain advisors are warring with each other over who led the candidate astray.
One well-connected Republican in the private sector was shocked to get calls and resumes in the past few days from what he said were senior McCain aides – a breach of custom for even the worst-off campaigns.
‘It’s not an extraordinarily happy place to be right now,’ said one senior McCain aide. ‘I’m not gonna lie. It’s just unfortunate.’
They strike again
The head of a New Mexico Republican women’s group is being pressured to resign after calling Barack Obama a “Muslim socialist” and claiming that “Muslims are our enemies.”
Marcia Stirman is the head of the Republican Women of Otero County.
She included her criticism of Obama in a letter published Tuesday in the Alamogordo Daily News. In a separate interview with The Associated Press, Stirman said she didn’t trust Muslims because “they are our enemies.” She added, “Why we’re trying to elect one is beyond me.”
Just tell us how you really feel.
That is real nice of him. I tell you, these people…
Is McCain already prepping for avoiding crowds on election night?
Republican John McCain is not going to make his election night remarks in the traditional style — at a podium standing in front of a sea of campaign workers jammed into a hotel ballroom.
Oh, the throng of supporters will hold the usual election night party at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix on the evening of Nov. 4.
But the Republican presidential nominee plans to address another group of supporters and a small group of reporters on the hotel lawn; his remarks will be simultaneously piped electronically to the party inside and other reporters in a media filing center, aides said.
In 2004, Sen. Kerry conceded at Faneuil Hall in Boston.
