Election Night 2008 Live Blogging Posted 04 Nov 2008 under 2008 Presidential, Obama Uber Alles, St. John McCain
Will tonight see the expected blowout for Obama? Or a crazy comeback by McCain? We’re gonna do some live blogging for a while, providing some snarky analysis and bad pop culture references for that ass. Right now it’s just me, but Matt will be joining in soon enough. I am flipping between CNN and Fox [...]

AP Reporter Martin Crutsinger is Nothing More Than a Stenographer Posted 22 Oct 2008 under Bush Man Date, Hank Paulson, Media
Paulson predicts success in overcoming crisis - AP (10/21/08): Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said Tuesday the current financial challenges facing the country will persist for a number of months, but he said the economy will rebound. Paulson, speaking to an audience in New York, said that the recovery will occur because the administration, working with the Federal [...]

Living In The Proverbial Glass House Posted 06 Oct 2008 under 2008 Presidential, St. John McCain
The John McCain campaign has repeatedly exhibited what can only be described as a self-destructive streak. They launch a high-profile attack on Obama for something, and it eventually turns out that McCain or Palin did the exact same thing, but to an even greater degree. Past instances include Palin’s attack on Obama for sponsoring earmarks [...]

You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet, Mister Posted under 2008 Presidential, Corruption, Obama Uber Alles, St. John McCain
The story so far: the campaign John McCain has been running has been described far and wide — not only by those evil people on the left who have nothing better to do than to vilify war heroes who seek only to dedicate themselves to the country’s service, but also by his own former ardent [...]

Holding A Mirror To Ma Palin (And Grandpa McCain) Posted 15 Sep 2008 under 2008 Presidential, Lipstick on a Pig, Media, St. John McCain
(1) Every day seems to bring a new slew of stories in major media outlets about Sarah Palin that make her look even more shallow and petty and dishonest and vindictive than she already looked before. The Sunday papers brought us long front-page stories from both The New York Times and The Washington Post. The NYT highlights Palin’s [...]

Positively Presidential Prevarication Posted 08 Sep 2008 under 2008 Presidential, Lipstick on a Pig, St. John McCain
Finally back from my travels, trying to catch up on all the news, the one thing I don’t get is this whole argument about whether or not Sarah Palin is qualified to be president, or even vice-president. Of course she’s qualified! Haven’t we already seen more than enough evidence that she’s pretty good at what [...]

The Law Is Indeed An Ass Posted 13 Aug 2008 under Bush Man Date, Corruption, General Gonzo, Podium Spin
My personal judgement is that Michael Mukasey heard the phrase “The law is an ass” at a very impressionable age, and took it deeply to heart. So when he became Attorney General, he felt obliged to uphold that dictum in everything that he did (or didn’t do). Yesterday, he delivered an appropriately asinine speech to [...]

Paid the (Opportunity) Cost to be the Boss Posted 11 Aug 2008 under 2008 Presidential, Bad Dems, Obama Uber Alles
Download james_brown-the_boss.mp3 (James Brown - “The Boss”) Like many other Democrats, I became aware of Barack Obama during the 2004 DNC convention. I remember reading an advance copy of his speech along with the accompanying hype from various Chicago writers who were obviously big fans. I was aghast that the keynote speech, both the “coming [...]

I Didn’t Do It! Posted 14 Jul 2008 under Bush Man Date, Economy, Podium Spin
That would surely be a fitting political epitaph for George W. Bush: “I didn’t do it!” The only thing that might sum up his presidency more accurately than that four-word sentence might be a choice selection of four-letter words. Bush has precious little to show by way of achievements. In fact, to borrow a [...]

When Is A Fundraiser Not A Fundraiser? Posted 23 Jun 2008 under '06/'08 Campaigns, Corruption, St. John McCain
When the McCain campaign is involved, and when it would be illegal for it to be a fundraiser. Then it becomes some kind of non-campaign finance event, presumably before blossoming into a full-fledged non-campaign non-finance event. It may be a while, though, before they can turn it into a non-event. St. John gave [...]
