Obama let O'Reilly punk him on the Surge

One of my commenters gave me this lame "relax, everything is fine" reply, and then even more poignantly accused me of being "vitriolic" when I pushed back to pointedly note that things were in fact not all fine, and that the Obama campaign is not above criticism.

@kickstarts

See my blog (link in name). Obama [1] pissed me off on FISA too (scroll down), and; [2] allowed O'Reilly to punk him on the "Surge."

Still, McInsane would be a disaster.

Make McSame Sarah Palin's campaign surrogate

A thought:

Given that the McSame campaign managers look like they’re gonna keep Sarah Palin essentially in a bubble and away from insufficiently “deferential” reporters, the media need to make McSame her interview surrogate. They should hound him with the specific policy and political questions that would otherwise be directed at her personally (staying away from the red herring tabloid trash queries).

Preface questions with

“Senator McCain, given that time is short in the remaining days until November 4th, and given that your campaign has decided that your running mate is off-limits to the legitimate open questioning to which you and Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden have repeatedly and legitimately subjected yourselves, maybe you could answer on her behalf, given that the American people have both the need and right to have answers to politically relevant and proper policy detail -- in light of the fact that you vetted her so thoroughly prior to choosing her. So, let me ask you, _____________________?”

And then sit back and watch his head explode. Get that hothead cognitive-impairment flusteritis goin’.

‘eh?

Next question for Charles Gibson

Q: “So, turning away from foreign policy for a moment Mrs. Executive Palin, on the domestic front, what is your opinion of Mark-to-Market annual end-of-year asset valuation accounting requirements, and post- Glass-Steagal brokerage house self-assessment leveraging strategies, as they apply to financial institution reserve ratios?”

A: “What aspect of it do you mean, Charlie?”

Cognitive Psoriasis

That's my diagnosis of McCain. He really is pathetic. The "fundamentals" stepped-in-shit ameliorative parsing tap dance was particularly poignant.

Yo, Mr. Officer of the Court

“Also subpoenaed were three people who are not employees of the Palin administration, including Todd Palin, Sarah Palin’s husband.”

Is the AG gonna tell private citizens they can ignore subpoenas too?

I want to know whether this AK Attorney General thinks he can order private citizens to ignore the subpoenas? Write and ask him, like I did.

Quick! Get Hannity some Kleenex!

So, I’m watchin’ the Hannity interview. Feels like a “Forex Made Easy” or “Better Trades” or “Carlton Sheets Method” etc infomercial. The tight edits, the mutual softball questions and answers through the pasted-on faux-exuberant smiles adn chirpy demeanors, and Hannity’s anti-Obama loaded set-up “questions.”

Feel like taking a shower. Ugh.

Hannity looks like he’s gonna spooge.
