Somehow I can't read this without thinking about Holly & Hef breaking up.

It's tough out there for a horny old man.

Earlier, discussing the debates the two have participated in, McCain said their only advice to each other beforehand was to “have fun.” Palin — looking lovingly at her running mate — added, “It was helpful, though, that you called me beforehand and you said those two words.”

Well hell, why shouldn't they have "fun"? I mean, we're all having fun, aren't we? Eight years of the Bush/Cheney regime -- what a blast! The economy tanking, unafordable gas and healthcare, two wars drone on -- one of them unnecessary. I'm just giddy with all of this fun brought to us by the Repubs.

Ya betcha.

d-r-i-l .. l-i-n-g

...I could just shit.

Is it too much to ask that Alex and Salon stop repeating repub bullshit on this issue? CargoCult has posted extensively on this pipeline. Not only is the pipeline nothing but a pipe dream at this point but IT WILL NOT BRING NATURAL GAS TO THE LOWER 48! The pipeline will terminate at the Alberta oil sands. Alberta is in Canada, my friends. There it will be used to super-heat the sands to aid in extracting the oil. This method of acquiring oil is one of the filthiest and environmentally unsound methods of extraction known to man.

Can we please have a minimum of journalistic standards here?

Does Fox even pretend to offer legitimate, impartial journalism anymore? (Maybe Gov. Palin remembers the bit about impartiality in those J. School classes she took at one of her half dozen alma maters?)

At what point does this so-called "interview" cease to be actual news, and instead become an in-kind contribution on the part of News Corporation to the McCain campaign? Does the Federal Election Commission have any standards as to what constitutes "news" coverage, as opposed to a scripted opportunity to rattle off talking points and attack ads?

With luck, in another month the election will be over, Senator McCain can go back to being the grumpy old Man of the Senate and Governor Palin can disappear from our national psyche, hopefully forever. But surely there must be some penalty for the outrageously partisan coverage? Can I (as a cable consumer) sue them for false advertising ("Fair and Balanced")? Can we (the 55% of the population who probably won't be voting for McCain in November) organize a boycott of Fox and their advertisers?

Fox News may think they can play this sort of game with Presidential politics. But by offering such transparently biased political coverage, they destroy any shred of credibility on just about any other story they report on.

If they can stir up those age old fears in whites without being guilty of saying anything blatantly racist (i.e. Barack Hussein Obama, "that one", terrorist, Muslim, etc.), they have done what they've set out to do. It's a sick campaign McCain is waging. He can't win on issues so he's going after the man's race and bringing to surface some deep racist feelings in a lot of whites, many of whom don't even realize they harbored those feelings.

Next time, read the article a little slower and let the words sink in before you fire off a comment. Koppelman was quoting what McCain said, and this article is not about the subject of the pipeline or where it ends up. The article is about the appearance of McCain/Palin on Fixed News with Sean Hannity. So if Koppelman had rabbited on about oil sand drilling, it would have made no sense. I suppose you would have been happy, though.

Dear Klytus,

You become what you eat. In a front pew:`O slow chew raw beets.

Good cheer.

It's 'our' day of TV's 'Mad Cow Disease' of salmonella from rot fishe.

Noises of poisoning sounds-- are truly red-blood, curdling sounds.

Fox TV is diseased rot fish (verbal) that makes possums so feverish.

The nation needs a long process of drip IV- sterilization. `O refrain.

Possums who consume diseased news version (flesh verbal venison),

become diseased.

Deer Klwtus, you think deer meat or fox news is harmless - Wrong.

The meat paraded on the world's stage is forbidden link - sausages.

Please refrain.

Our Dear Kytus, it's wise to sit under a walnut tree and eat raw tofu.

With Sean Hannity added, that makes them Blinky, Winky and Stinky.

Thank you, Alex Koppelman. I missed the Hannity interview with the happy couple and was going to scourge around YouTube looking for it, but I'm more than satisfied by reading through your report. Your work has saved me from what would surely be an assault on my intellect. I understand that the McCain campaign is saying quite openly that Palin will only talk to two journalists, both at Fox Noise (thanks Olbermann), so I'm sure we'll have more of the same.

Its kind of creepy when you see them together. He always gives her that cringe-inducing grin and darting eyes.

And let's face it the similarities here are astounding:

That would spare the vast majority of us the assault on our ears. What a stupid strategy on their part though. Everybody that watches that horse shit is already voting for them anyway. That will only leave us critically thinking folks with the Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson interviews to base our opinion of her on. Well also the Hooters-waitress style winkfest last Thursday too. OK, My verdict is in. She isn't worth John Nance Garner's description of what the vice president's job is.

ROTFLMAO!

If by some twisted quirk of fate, Obama becomes the next president, Mr. Koppelman would no doubt consider himself lucky to be chosen to write for THE United Socialist States of America's only newspaper. Bear in mind, the line for these jobs will be long.

Of course, there will be positions in the USSA's television media department, but rumor has it Chris Matthews is at the head of that list.

But perhaps you may be allowed to edit the next great edition of the Obama Chronicles.
