And the Loch Ness Monster Is a Liberal Plot

Sunday, October 12th, 2008


If you look closely at the left hand, you will see him clutching the Kenyan birth certificate of one Barack HUSSEIN Obama and the true story about Vince Foster’s death.

***

It never, ever, ever ends. The front page at Red State:

Obama still faces a legal challenge to his constitutional eligibility to be president. A lawsuit, Berg v. Obama, brought by Philip J. Berg, a Philadelphia attorney, alleges Obama is not eligible to be president.

Instead of producing records proving Obama is a natural born citizen, Obama and the Democratic National Committee have filed a motion seeking a protective order to block production of documents until a motion to dismiss is the law suit is ruled on by the court. Obama and the Democratic National Committee also claim attorney Berg has no standing – has no right – to bring the lawsuit.

What is it that Obama and the Democratic National Committee are trying to hide? Why not just produce documents that prove Obama’s citizenship and make the lawsuit go away?

Red State, the self-described “leading blog for right of center online activists.”

*** Update ***

Stay classy, Republicans:

With so much at stake, and time running short, Frederick did not feel he had the luxury of subtlety. He climbed atop a folding chair to give 30 campaign volunteers who were about to go canvassing door to door their talking points — for instance, the connection between Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden: “Both have friends that bombed the Pentagon,” he said. “That is scary.” It is also not exactly true — though that distorted reference to Obama’s controversial association with William Ayers, a former 60s radical, was enough to get the volunteers stoked. “And he won’t salute the flag,” one woman added, repeating another myth about Obama. She was quickly topped by a man who called out, “We don’t even know where Senator Obama was really born.” Actually, we do; it’s Hawaii.

That would be Virginia GOP chairman Rick Frederick, thank you very much.

What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?

Saturday, October 11th, 2008


Two years into the Obamanation reign of terror, brave conservative patriots gather weekly for Radio Free K-Lo and mayonnaise sandwiches.

***

Mark Steyn, writing at the NRO, is now in full-on black helicopter conspiracy mode, and we have not even had the election yet:

That’s Obama: highbrow enough for Christopher Buckley, Euro-bespoke (not sure where he gets his smokes these days – he’s a bit coy on that), but an old-fashioned Chicago bruiser who’ll order in anyone from Missouri sheriffs to the federal Justice Department if you run a TV ad he finds unhelpful.

An Obama-Pelosi Washington with 60 Senate seats would reintroduce the (Un)Fairness Doctrine, regulate the Internet, and wouldn’t be above oomphing up Canadian-style “human rights” commissions to police speech – especially if he gets to appoint three Supreme Court justices in short order.

The latest mania seems to have been caused by this piece by Michael Barone, entitled The Coming Obama Thugocracy. And what has Mr. Barone in such a snit? This:

That’s what Obama supporters, alerted by campaign emails, did when conservative Stanley Kurtz appeared on Milt Rosenberg’s WGN radio program in Chicago. Kurtz had been researching Obama’s relationship with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers in Chicago Annenberg Challenge papers in the Richard J. Daley Library in Chicago — papers that were closed off to him for some days, apparently at the behest of Obama supporters.

Obama fans jammed WGN’s phone lines and sent in hundreds of protest emails. The message was clear to anyone who would follow Rosenberg’s example. We will make trouble for you if you let anyone make the case against The One.

That is correct. Michael Barone and Mark Steyn, brave patriots each, winded from the past eight years of nobly fighting the Islamofascists as Generals in the 101st Chairborne, are terrified of… a firmly written note.

This is going to be the longest eight years ever. And some of the most fun.

Diagram the Feedback Loop

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

The wingnut nexus is now fully formed:

When you have the Corner, the Beauchamp Boogaloo, and No Quarter cross referencing each other, with Andy McCarthy praising Larry Johnson, you know things are going poorly for the McCain campaign.

Rearranging the Deck Chairs

Monday, October 6th, 2008

You can almost hear a stirring rendition of Nearer, My God, To Thee as you read this post at Red State:

This is, in fact, the last week for John McCain to, on his own accord, shift the polling trends back in his favor. To do so, he must aggressively begin punching Barack Obama on issues that work to McCain’s advantage.

I think we’ve seen the beginnings of this with Sarah Palin going after Obama’s terrorist ties, which are extremely extensive and barely covered by the media.

***

It is time for McCain-Palin ‘08 to change the narrative by aggressively going after Barack Obama on Fannie and Freddie. Force the issue before the public and an unwilling media. Force the tough questions. Certainly, Obama will push back, but McCain should easily be able to handle those questions — much easier than Obama can handle his questions.

I honestly have no idea why they think they have any credible way of tying Obama to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and even beyond that, I have no idea why they think that those two are responsible for the meltdown. Quite clearly, asserting that those two institutions are behind the current economic disaster is silly beyond even Red State standards, but they will attempt to push it anyway. Besides, didn’t they just spend the last six months deriding how long Obama has been in the Senate and how little experience he has? Now their message is that he alone is responsible for the entire economic meltdown by proxy, through his tenuous connections to partial players? The premise is laughable and, once again, reeks of flop sweat.

But if you want to talk about actual factual matters, we should look at some numbers and charts. When the Republicans took over the White House in 2000, the DOW was at around 10,600. Currently, the DOW is 9824. In 2000, when Bush and the Republicans took office, we had a budget surplus of about 230 billion. This year, we are expected to run approximately a half-trillion dollar deficit, and that was before the trillion we have tossed on to the national debt in the last few weeks.

But here is the most startling statistic- all previous forty-two presidents, in the history of this nation, had a combined national debt of approximately 5.5 trillion. George W. Bush and the Republican administration have almost doubled the debt of his 42 predecessors, as our national debt is over ten trillion (and that does not count all the chicanery with social security obligations and the like).

George Bush and Republican rule have been a DISASTER. There is no other term for it. John McCain may think he is being unfairly tarnished with this, but it is important to remember that he has been with Bush all the way on things, and intends to continue the Bush policies that helped to get us where we are. We are on the edge of a cliff, and John McCain wants to keep walking forward (no doubt his running mate things jumping would be a good leap of faith).

So whinge about Bill Ayers. Whine about Rezko. Babble to your heart’s content about Fannie Mae. Scream Freddie Mac and Barney “Fag” all you want. These are silly, last minute desperate distractions, and the American people know who is responsible for this mess. Good conservatives should be welcoming the electoral tsunami that is about to wipe Republicans off the map- after all, they are the ones always preaching about personal responsibility, right?

The only thing I do not understand is how there are still some reasonably intelligent people out the who would vote for Johnny Drama and Bible Spice. It makes absolutely no sense to me, other than raw tribalism.

Paging John Derbyshire- Cleanup In the Gushing Fanboi Aisle

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

This, from NRO’s Rich Lowry, is just spectacular:

Palin too projects through the screen like crazy. I’m sure I’m not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, “Hey, I think she just winked at me.” And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America.

Rainbowbrite may lite up the screen, but does she shoot starbursts and sparkle like Palin? I think not!

By now you have all seen that Lowry quote (I have seen it at least five places), but as an amateur historian of sorts as a blogger, I felt it was necessary to add to the archives for posterity. I guarantee that Derbyshire poured four fingers of Maker’s Mark into his coffee when he read that baby this morning.

The final word on this goes to Mr. Wolcott:

Good thing Palin didn’t blow a kiss at the camera or Lowry might have fucking fainted. I’m not a licensed psychotherapist but when you think the people on TV are addressing you personally and directly it’s often a sign of incipient dementia.

I confess to being immune to Palin’s contrived charms. Everything about her strikes me as phony—she possesses about as much depth as aluminum siding. And I wasn’t surprised to read that Gwen Ifill was a dud as a moderator—her vaunted reputation is one of those Beltway myths, like David Broder’s mantle of judiciousness.

Stop The Insanity

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

We have known for a while that many on the far right are unmoored, floating around in a fantasy land of their own creation, but who knew they would not even get their fantasy land correct? In the latest attempt to defend Palin’s utter inability to name any Supreme Court cases other than Roe with which she disagreed, Malkin posts this comment from one of her readers about how Palin should have responded:

Palin: Now, let me ask you a question, Katie. You interviewed Senator Biden recently. So when you asked him this same question, would you care to share with me his answer?

Couric: Well, I didn’t ask him that question.

Palin: You didn’t? Why not? He’s a VP nominee. I’m a VP nominee. Don’t you want to know what Supreme Court decisions he disagrees with? Why are you only interested in my perspective on this?

Couric: …………. (Katie) Crickets chirping…..

That sure would have showed Katie! Take that evil liberal Soros led commie media!

Except, of course, as Malkin later notes, Couric did ask Biden that question. He answered it in full sentences, too, the sexist bastard.

Even in their fantasies to take down the evil liberal media, they still manage to make Palin look stupid. But it was fun for five minutes, right guys? And let me just close with this- if Katie Couric is making you look dumb, the gig is up.

Palin’s Email

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

By now you have heard that Palin’s email account at yahoo has been hacked by those lovable scamps at 4chan. Two quick things:

1.) This merely reinforces how reckless and careless this woman is, and how reckless and careless this choice is. John McCain chose a woman so stupid she runs government business through yahoo.

2.) This response from Malkin is awesome:

“Where are the privacy absolutists now?”

What is the big deal, Michelle? If you haven’t done anything wrong, you don’t have anything to hide, AMIRITE?

Seriously. I would never publish her private emails, but listening to Malkin kvetch about privacy is, after years of listening to her cheerlead the surveillance state, how do I put this… A BIT FUCKING RICH.

*** Update ***

The dumbest thing about this, dumber even than Palin conducting official business on an unsecure email account, is that a world of hurt is going to come down on the jackasses who did this:

FBI Spokesman Eric Gonzalez in Anchorage, Alaska confirms to CNN an investigation is underway.

“We are aware of the allegations and we are coordinating with Secret Service as far as the allegation that someone has hacked into Governor Palin’s personal e-mail account,” he said. “We are going to be working a joint investigation with Secret Service on this.”

Brian Hale, an FBI spokesman in Washington, also confirms the FBI has been contacted about the incident. Two federal law enforcement sources say the FBI and Secret Service would have concurrent jurisdiction normally on a matter such as this, but it remains to be seen if the Secret Service will take the lead on the investigation because Palin is a protectee.

If what I know about the morons at 4chan is accurate, their forte is porn, pedophilia, racism, gaming, and hacking. You would think they would not want to bring attention to themselves.

*** Update #2 ***

Since there appears to be some confusion, “lovable scamps” was sarcasm. Kinda why the whole post was filed under assholes. There really is no love here for folks hacking into people’s personal email.

Heya Ed

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Graeme Frost and Scott Beauchamp and Michael Schiavo called, and they told me to tell you and David Freddoso to stop being such pussies.

And since when is calling a radio show “silencing” someone?

*** Update ***

I am serious- if people are distributing Freddoso’s home address, or driving by his house, or delving into his personal life, or doing things of that nature, I will be the first to condemn it. That would be out right sleaze and completely unacceptable. But calling a radio show to dispute what he is saying? C’mon. That is not silencing anyone, that is called debate. And the radio show can, get this- stop accepting phone calls and just let Freddoso speak.

*** Update #2 ***

From the Hot Air comments:

I was reading the transcript, mainly getting pissed, and then I came to this…

Then report back on your call at http://my.barackobama.com/WGNstandards

and got a chill.

From the link at the Obama action wire:

Call into the “Extension 720” show with Milt Rosenberg tonight, September 15th, between 9:00 and 11:00 p.m. at (312) 591-7200.

Then report back on your call and sign up for the Obama Action Wire using the form to the right.
Tips for making your call:

* Be honest, but be civil.

* Be persistent. It may take a few attempts to get through to the show. Just keep trying. Your call is important.

* Use the talking points below to help you speak confidently and concisely.

Be honest and civil! Modern day brownshirts! Chilling!

A Saturday Tour through General Wingnuttia

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

Lots going on this weekend on the fringe right, so I thought I would take you all on a guided tour of the crazy.

Our first stop is the most poorly named website on the internet, the Astute Bloggers, where they ask if Obama’s mentor was a communist. Not content with mere red-baiting, our pals decide to kick it up a notch:

HERE’S A PHOTO OF OBAMA JUNIOR (MIDDLE), AND HERE’S ONE OF FRANK DAVIS (LEFT) AND BH OBAMA SENIOR (RIGHT).

* WHO LOOKS MORE LIKE FATHER AND SON, FRANK & BARRY OR BARRY AND OBAMA SENIOR?

* LOOK AT THE SUPRA-ORBITAL RIDGES, THE FOREHEAD, THE HAIRLINE, THE EYEBROWS, THE EYELIDS, THE JOWLS, THE CHEEKBONES - AND THE EARS.

* FACT: BARRY OBAMA JUNIOR LOOKS NOTHING LIKE BARACK OBAMA SENIOR, AND VERY MUCH LIKE FRANK DAVIS.

* AND BARRY HAS MANY OF FRANK’S TRAITS: LIKE A GIFT FOR WRITING, FOR INSTANCE.

* AND IT GIVES OBAMA JUNIOR A VERY DEEP CONNECTION TO CHICAGO - FRANK’S HOMETOWN

* REMEMBER: STANLEY ANN DUNHAM WAS PREGNANT WHEN SHE MARRIED OBAMA SENIOR. MAYBE IT WASN’T HIS CHILD.

* FRANK DAVIS WROTE IN HIS MEMOIR HE AND HIS WIFE HAD A THREESOME WITH A WHITE GIRL NAMED ANN. WAS THIS STANLEY AN DUNHAM?

* DID SHE MARRY OBAMA SENIOR BECAUSE SHE KNEW THE CHILD WOULD BE BLACK AND SHE NEEDED A HUSBAND? DID THEY MAKE A DEAL SO HE COULD STAY IN THE USA?

THIS CAN BE EASILY PROVEN: JUST GET A DNA TEST FROM A RELATIVE IN KENYA AND SEE IF IT MATCHES BARRY OBAMA JUNIOR’S.

Nothing like a little red-baiting and garden-variety phrenology and photo-shop genealogy to get this tour started off right.

***********

Moving right along, we head over to our old buddy Dan Riehl’s joint, the Riehl World View, where we find that Dan Riehl is incensed by the Washington Post’s Ann Kornblut. Apparently, Ann made the mistake of pointing out that Sarah Palin is lying about visiting Iraq, and this has Dan livid:

Maybe it’s time the media did some serious looking into the early travels of a fellow who wants to be President, not Vice President of the United States – Barack Obama.

This isn’t crazy Obama Muslim Manchurian candidate stuff. Remember the Clintonite who off-handedly dropped the “drug dealer” line during the primaries? Well, anyone can source this below based upon MSM accounts, the news at the time or the few simple links provided. It’s certainly enough to make me curious about some things.

***

For a college kid out of California via Hawaii who ends up in a NYC slum via Pakistan partying with admitted drug users – using well beyond what Obama has ever admitted to, especially given the particular era, that Pakistan voyage is one very curious trip no matter how you slice it. And I don’t mean for any possible Muslim/terror related reasons.

For example, if they had to lie about income to get the apartment cited below – how is it they paid for it seems a fair question? Did he deal drugs at Columbia? He certainly seems to have had the location and friends for it and the Obama campaign has gone to great lengths to cover up that period of his life. Frankly, I want to know why and I think America deserves to know, as well.

Maybe he was dealing drugs though his secret father Frank Marshall’s communist drug cartel. Again, since Sarah Palin is lying about Iraq, it would be irresponsible not to speculate that Obama is a drug dealer!

***

Our third stop is the wingnut mothership, Michelle Malkin, where we learn that Michelle is quite incensed by the way BARACK HUSSEIN DRUG DEALING STEALTH SON OF A COMMIE OBAMA placed a flower on a grave:

It’s a small gesture, but gestures matter at the hallowed grave site of so many murdered innocent Americans.

Barack Obama flings a memorial rose at Ground Zero like he’s a kid tossing pennies into a fountain at the shopping mall — or a spectator tossing flowers at a bullfight.

He doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Only a true America hater places flowers on graves like that.

***

Our final stop on the crazy train is at the Values Voters Summit, where we learn about a new family value:

At the Values Voter Summit this weekend, vendors sold an item called “Obama Waffles” featuring a racist cartoon of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) on the box front — with “popping eyes and big, thick lips” — and another image of him wearing an Arab-like headdress on its top flap. Its creators, Mark Whitlock and Bob DeMoss, said it was meant as “political satire,” and sold the box for $10 from a booth at the Family Research Council event. CNN’s Lou Dobbs stopped by the booth and exclaimed, “My wife will love this!” A photo shows Dobbs with a box of the mix in his hand.

I hope you all have enjoyed this quick tour, and I think I speak for everyone when I state how thankful I am the right wing base and right wing blogosphere has decided to follow McCain’s lead and run a respectful, substance based campaign.

Friday Night Open Thread

Friday, September 12th, 2008

And the Doughy Pantload comes through with the most awesomest spin of the campaign so far. I will paraphrase:

“John McCain does not use a computer because he was a POW.”

Right now you probably think I am kidding. Take it away, Jonah:

Does anyone know why McCain doesn’t use a computer or email? As a couple readers suggested to me, it might be because his injuries prevent it. I mean he can’t lift his arms much higher than his chest and it looks like he has all sorts of other mobility problems with them. Maybe he can’t type or use something like a blackberry. I don’t know. But I hope the Obama campaign found out before they played the granpa Simpson card on McCain. I’d hate for Obama to be mocking a veteran’s disability to score cheap points.

Umm, Jonah?


John McCain, using his blackberry.

This is officially the stupidest fucking election ever.

*** Update ***

Jonah is deadly serious in peddling this piffle:

The reason he doesn’t send email is that he can’t use a keyboard because of the relentless beatings he received from the Viet Cong in service to our country. From the Boston Globe (March 4, 2000):

McCain gets emotional at the mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain’s severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Friends marvel at McCain’s encyclopedic knowledge of sports. He’s an avid fan – Ted Williams is his hero – but he can’t raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball.

Behold the next wingnut fauxtrage. Kinda cool watching these morons work in real time.

Someone tell the morons to read this story:

There’s no telling if he’s going to buy a tape from the Video Professor, or just have his son-in-law sit down with him for a few days, but John McCain has decided to learn how to use the internet.

“I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself,” McCain told the New York Times in an interview that appeared Sunday. “I don’t expect to be a great communicator, I don’t expect to set up my own blog, but I am becoming computer literate to the point where I can get the information that I need.”

Even so, McCain bluntly admits, “I don’t e-mail. I’ve never felt the particular need to e-mail.”

Or this one:

Q: What websites if any do you look at regularly?

Mr. McCain: Brooke and Mark show me Drudge, obviously, everybody watches, for better or for worse, Drudge. Sometimes I look at Politico. Sometimes RealPolitics, sometimes.

(Mrs. McCain and Ms. Buchanan both interject: “Meagan’s blog!”)

Mr. McCain: Excuse me, Meagan’s blog. And we also look at the blogs from Michael and from you that may not be in the newspaper, that are just part of your blog.

Q: But do you go on line for yourself?

Mr. McCain: They go on for me. I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself. I don’t expect to be a great communicator, I don’t expect to set up my own blog, but I am becoming computer literate to the point where I can get the information that I need – including going to my daughter’s blog first, before anything else.

Q: Do you use a blackberry or email?

Mr. McCain: No

Mark Salter: He uses a BlackBerry, just ours.

It should come as no great surprise that these are the same folks who think Sarah Palin has foreign policy experience because Alaska is close to Russia. Clown shoes, I tell you. Clown shoes.

*** Update #2 ***

Game, set, match:

It then shows a picture of McCain and George Bush and says, “After one president who was out of touch, we just can’t afford more of the same.”

Hitting an opponent on economic issues is standard political strategy. But going after a candidate for his skill with computers and e-mail …

...is a new, 21st century line of attack.

The McCain campaign charged that it’s untrue.

“John McCain travels with a laptop,” said McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds. “This is a senseless tactic from Obama’s campaign because they’re struggling with the realization that the American people understand he is not equipped to deliver change because his record has no bipartisanship or significant legislative accomplishment in it.”

That was the McCain campaign, today. Is there anyone dumber than right wing bloggers?

BTW- These loons are desperately hoping they can push this meme into the MSM, but are forgetting one thing. While they are blogging from where ever their fact-free zone is, high on cheeto dust, actual reporters have spent the last 20 years covering McCain, riding on the Straight Talk Express, riding on his campaign plane, watching him, and have seen him repeatedly use a blackberry and a phone and a computer and drive his car and god knows what else (including fly a plane AFTER returning from Viet Nam and throw out the first pitch in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series).

The morons pushing this nonsense really are in a fantasy land of their own creation.

You Can’t Make This Shit Up

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Barack Obama:

Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin’s new “change” mantra.

“You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said as the crowd cheered. “It’s still a pig.”

“You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It’s still gonna stink.”

“We’ve had enough of the same old thing.”

McCain campaign and wingnuts everywhere: OMG HE CALLED SARAH PALIN A PIG!

The fact that this was spearheaded by the McCain campaign and quickly became a meme in the right-wing wankosphere merely reinforces my firm belief that the McCain campaign is being run by wingnut bloggers.

On the upside of all this, the media is not swallowing this nonsense, and is in fact mocking the McCain campaign:

And yet, the inaugural conference call of what the McCain-Palin campaign is calling the “Palin Truth Squad” addressed Obama’s remark.

And interestingly, the Truth Squad call was full of half-truths and statements that weren’t true at all.

Speaking on behalf of the McCain campaign, former Massachusetts Gov. Jane Swift tonight flatly stated that Obama had called Palin a pig.

“[T]he formation of the Palin Truth Squad couldn’t have happened too soon, as we saw when Sen. Obama in Lebanon, Va., this evening uttered what I can only deem to be disgraceful comments comparing our vice presidential nominee Gov. Palin to a pig,” Swift said.

“Sen. Obama owes Gov. Palin an apology,” she said.

Asked why she was so confident Obama was “comparing” Palin to a pig, she said Palin was the only one of the four candidates on both parties’ tickets who wears lipstick.

“She is the only one of the four candidates for president, or the only vice presidential candidate who wears lipstick,” Swift said. “I mean, it seemed to me a very gendered comment.”

But, Swift added, if “as part of his apology Sen. Obama wants to say, no, he was calling Sen. McCain—who is a true hero in our country—a pig, then I suppose we could wait en masse for an apology to that, as well.”

It was pointed out to Swift that, after the line about the pig, Obama had said, “You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called ‘change,’ it’s still gonna stink after eight years.”

Swift then suggested that Obama was calling McCain a fish.

They are losing the press with their antics. Bonus buffoonery from Hugh Hewitt:

Either Obama’s dim as can be, or he is angry at having been thrown backwards week after week. When Obama denies having targeted Palin, keep in mind that everyone instantly made the connection. Is Obama really that clueless? An angry outburst does less damage than his pleading he didn’t mean it that way. Remember the raised finger?

Hugh’s link, in case you were interested, is to the video the Hillary dead-enders and PUMA’s watched 1000 times to convince themselves that Obama gave Hillary the finger. This video:

Obama gave Hillary the finger! Five of them, in fact!

I wish I was making this shit up. It isn’t just that this is so absurd, it is that these wankers really have a shot of running the country for four more years.

*** Update ***

More here, including video of McCain using the same phrase.

*** Update #2 ***

Remember when Captain Ed was just mildly crazy, but had a shred of integrity, and was still worth reading? Well, those days are long gone, and now he is worse than Hugh Hewitt.

Off Limits Means Off Limits

Monday, September 1st, 2008

I completely agree with Obama that families should be off limits, and I have been more than a little dismayed by what I called the panty sniffing that occurred over the week-end. I see no difference between what happened this week-end with Palin, culminating with the news of her daughter, and the Obama birth certificate crap or the Edwards affair crusade spear-headed by alleged goat lover Mickey Kaus. I am glad Obama has said no to this crap, and I really hope people listen.

Having said that, I am not going to sit by and let jackasses like Hugh Hewitt and company sit around and publish their deep thoughts and reader emails asserting the moral superiority of… out of wedlock teen pregnancies. Not only is it an absurd position (pregnant daughters as the new family value is a touch rich, guys), but off limits is off limits, you partisan hacks.

The Online Right as Bad Performance Art, Only With Extra Suck

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Red State brings the funny:

Remember the mystery of the missing flags?

FOUND THEM:

Now granted, their candidate is internet challenged, but surely our correspondents from Red State, the premier online site for conservative activism, can not be internet challenged as well. Because perusing the mystical intertrons that elude McCain so easily, I found lots of flags. From Atrios:


You don’t have to look too closely to see what can be described as a SHIT TON of flags on display during Bill Clinton’s speech last night

From the Denver Post:


Hrmm. Flags are indeed elusive at the DNC.

I could go on and on, but you get the point, and unlike John McCain and Red State, you understand the internet. Go have fun and find your own flags. It isn’t hard.

On the other hand, this may explain why the Bush administration never found any WMD in Iraq.

Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don’t Jonah Goldberg Is A Blithering Idiot

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

This is kind of awesome. Jonah Goldberg, 12:15 PM:

All I have to say is that if it was deliberate — and I really, really doubt it was — then that is the most substantive proof so far that Obama’s youthful arrogance is getting the better of him. The text message ploy on its own was kind of dumb. But if it was a way to tweak Clinton, it was beyond self-indulgent. And the fact that the message went out at 3:00 AM at all is a sign the whole thing was too clever by half.

Jonah Goldberg, 1:29 PM:

You know what? Even if it was a mistake, some grownup over there should have said “3:00 AM? You know what they’ll say, right? Don’t do it at 3:00 AM, it’ll seem like a juvenile jab at Hillary.” Instead, it seems that it didn’t occur to anyone or someone said, “3:00 AM, hah! Take that Hillary!”

So let’s recap. If the text was deliberately sent at 3:00 AM, Obama sucks. If it wasn’t deliberately sent at 3:00 AM, Obama sucks.

It is almost like there is nothing Obama can do to make Jonah happy!
