Heckuva Job, Nancy!
At some point in time, people are just going to have to start listening to what I say: But this is trouble for Congressional Dems. They can’t be seen as giving money to Wall Street if McCain and a majority of Republicans oppose it. People are telling me I have this wrong, and that’s possible. [...]
‘Tis A Joke Told By An Idiot, Signifying Nothing
Honest John is out today — campaigning or non-campaigning, whatever he’s calling it today — repeating his “it’s not my style to simply phone it in” joke: Remarkably, some people have criticized my decision to put my country first, but I’ll never be a president who sits on the sidelines when this country faces a [...]
No, You Must be Don Francisco’s Sister
“Presidential” debate (9/26/08): OBAMA: Well, I think Senator McCain’s absolutely right that we need more responsibility… [...] OBAMA: Well, Senator McCain is absolutely right that the earmarks process has been abused… [...] OBAMA: And he’s also right that oftentimes lobbyists and special interests are the ones that are introducing these kinds of requests… [...] OBAMA: [...]
Honest John, Crap-shooter
You may have heard of McCain‘s affinity for gambling before. But the NYT published a story yesterday which puts McCain’s gambling in a whole new light. Honest John indeed! This man is sleazier than Sarah Palin is stupid. Senator John McCain was on a roll. In a room reserved for high-stakes gamblers at the Foxwoods [...]
You Can’t Make This Stuff Up
On Saturday Night Live last night, Tina Fey came back to lampoon Baby Sarah again. Except this time, she used actual quotes from Baby Sarah.

I wonder how come the American media was too busy to bring us this tidbit before The Times from London. (Does the McCain campaign no longer have friendly puppies in the press to leak such stories through?) In an election campaign notable for its surprises, Sarah Palin, the Republican vice- presidential candidate, may be about [...]

John McCain (R-AZ) said almost nothing during the meeting with Bush: Bush turned to [...]

Fast Eddie
Damn. Paul Newman, the Academy-Award winning superstar who personified cool as the anti-hero of such films as “Hud,””Cool Hand Luke” and “The Color of Money” — and as an activist, race car driver and popcorn impresario — has died. He was 83. Bookmark on DeliciousDigg this postShare on Facebookshare via RedditShare with StumblersTweet about itBookmark [...]
