Maybe it's simpler than that

Maybe the real hidden story of the 2008 election is this: Even Jews are sick of Lieberman's shtick by now.

Or maybe Jews actually liked Obama and can think for themselves and don't need Holy Joe to tell them how to vote?

And just why exactly

does the campaign let clowns like this guy and old Tucker go on television?

Sure makes me more confident in McCain's judgement.

Giving new meaning to dumb and dumber.

Original article: When filth is not enough

@maggie

The real "filth" besides Tom DeLay (and I have no clue as to why this guy is relevant), is the climate of anti-intellectualism that has poisoned this country in cahoots with it's corollary, "the free lunch" -- ideas that gained serious traction with "Saint Ronnie" .

We are paying the price now and Obama's presidential run is a direct repudiation of that view, if he wins, it will hopefully be the beginning of a re-alignment that will restore the country and push us forward into the 21st century.

Hopefully ignorance, fear, "us vs them" and the "trickle-down" (more like trickle-on) theory will be left in the past with the divisive politics of the current Republican Party and their standard-bearers, McCain/Palin.

One can only hope and GOTV.

Poor ElephantCoward

trotting out his ignorance over and over. So predictable. What does Arafat's Nobel have to do with science?

Clearly your understanding of what physiologists, chemists and physicists do for a living is right up there with your newest love-interest, Palin.

Nothing to see here, folks, this charter member of the "Priapics for Palin" club hasn't a clue when it comes to this topic.

Original article: Fawning over Palin

For goodness' sake

I can't believe I am about to agree with K. Parker, but Lowry, Kristol, et al are nothing more than the charter members of "Priapics for Palin" -- you've seen a few of their acolytes running around Salon.

They all need frontal lobes, theirs have gone missing.

Michelle Obama = Sarah Palin's antiparticle

@vondo

For white supremacists, the "14" is supposedly the number of words in a rallying phrase and "88" refers to Hitler (h= 8th letter of alphabet, so 88 = heil hitler).

Now you guys let up on ElephantCoward..

if you make him mad enough he might whip out his draft card and wave it at you. He's actually a really brave guy and a bona fide military expert!

Ask him about how much the black hats at Benning would love to have him show up for Airborne training and all -- he was bragging about his "good health" recently. Of course, he just hasn't had the time to enlist.

He's a serious low life chicken(shit)hawk -- like his godhead Rush. And yeah, I think he isn't being truthful about the Palin thing either. He was positively orgasmic after her Convention speech. Crowing about her brilliant "lipstick, pitbull line" claiming that she made it up -- proving to many of us that he is very, very young since variations on that old line have been around forever.

Don't waste your breath.

That was really a sad showing..

It is reaching the point where McCain seems to be channeling Palin.

His round-about answer to Brokaw's question regarding Obama's "socialism" -- especially after he was shown his own previous statements completely degenerated into word salad. They made no sense whatsoever -- truly painful.

And yet again, former POW or not, his refusal to stand up for his old friend and supporter Powell and firmly distance himself from Limbaugh's hate speech is pure cowardice.

I think I have had just about enough of this election cycle.

Original article: A tale of two faces

@deering

Hah! I had the same reaction -- I think folks who had not heard of her before her "call-out" of Palin don't realize how conservative she is.

And after her most recent column where she basically says that McCain chose her because he was "thinking with the wrong head", I'll bet she now wears a bulletproof vest in public.

Reading the comments on her most recent column gives new meaning to the word invective!

Original article: A tale of two faces

It seems that Christopher Buckley agrees with FaulknerJr

From the NYT Sunday Magazine Interview:

Q: What would your father, who died at his desk, in Stamford, Conn., in February, have made of all this?

It’s very tricky to try to channel one’s dad’s ghost. Look what happened to Hamlet. But I think he would have been appalled by the Palin nomination, frankly. I don’t think he would have viewed her as presidential material.

A pathetic, irresponsible choice by McCain -- no other way to look at it.

Friday, October 24, 2008 05:59 PM

Not to mention the fact

that according to TPM, the PA communications director for McCain was apparently promulgating a version of the encounter that was apparently "super-sized", much to the distress of the local PD.

Race-bait much?

Friday, October 24, 2008 03:48 PM

And McCain just sits there staring at her legs

Funny how he has gone out of his way to interject in previous Daddy-Daughter interviews.

You would think that maybe old Maverick there could gently defuse the conversation by pointing out (at the very least) that he didn't condone bombing abortion clinics and shooting doctors, instead of letting old Gov. Word Salad blither on.

Nah, what was I thinking? Wouldn't want to piss off the only group of (Real) Americans that would definitely vote for him Nov 4th.

Can't wait until her 15 minutes are up.

These guys

need to put that crack pipe down right away.

It's just embarrassing at this point. I was about to ask "just how stupid do they think the US electorate is?" Never mind.

Poor daddo3

It seems that all of the cognitive dissonance going on in his head has led to brain swelling and an acute tightening of his tinfoil hat.

Imagine, all of this brought on by reading an interview with an educated, well-spoken woman. I guess this is what happens when you spend all of your time listening to the collected wisdom of a barely educated fraud like Sarah Palin.

I hope it is reversible. But the babbling is getting worse, better seek help.
