I`m waiting for the appologies over all the ginned up outrage and screams of blood liable from cons.

~~~~~~~

And we have McCain`s bro calling 911 to complain about traffic and tells the officer to f-off.Then he gets a warning not to abuse 911 again,on his voice mail.

Lol,then he calls to complain.Talk about elitists.

He sounds just like McCain,it`s a riot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXfESfJwixE&feature=related

This is the guy that just called northern Virginia, Communist country.

He`s going for the Billy Carter award.

~~~~~~~~

Then there`s the news that the highest payed person in the McCain campaign is Sarah Palin`s make-up artist.The figure I heard was 22 thousand over the last two weeks.Makes a $400 haircut seem like small potatoes.

~~~~~~~~

And there was the 150 grand for dudds and shoes.Nice!

~~~~~~~~~

And today Palin tried to look smart at speech outlining her positions,but fell flat faced after putting down Fruit Fly research,not knowing "that scientific studies involving fruit flies are helping further researchers' understanding of autism",the disorder her son has.

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/10/24/palin_details_special_needs_po.html?hpid=topnews

Not to metion that Palin was put under oath in the troopergate fiasco.

Status: offline 		I thought it was interesting (I think it was shown again on The Daily Show?) that McCain said in an interview he was looking forward to going home when the campaigning was done and serving his electorate as a senator.

On a separate note, I am launching a campaign to have the full edition of The Daily Show broadcast over here (we get what appears to be a half hour edit) and to have the show broadcast on the afternoon in the US so we can watch it all on the same evening as the broadcast rather than the following night. For US TV, its simply brilliant.

Yeah but in fairness you are underestimating the time it takes to make Sarah Palin look good in the public eye.

McCain`s bro


Hard to believe that OLD FART is his younger brother. He must be a hard drinker or smoker (or something.) He looks like he's 84.

The Daily show is a half hour here. It's followed by the Colbert Report which if you don't get over there you should demand.

And yes, we have the Colbare repor too - though I dont get to see that as there is usually something else I want to see on

...be fair, Thadius may have had an agenda, like CelticLord, but he argued honourably, unlike CelticLord. Not fair to lump the two together.

Status: offline 		You are very right, it was an embarrassing week, but in my opinion, it was also an incredibly sad week for the McCain/Palin campaign...

Joan Walsh wrote a really thoughtful (in every definition of the word) article in Salon this week which sums some of this up, and points out why some of what appears superficial and trivial, really should be looked at.

i for one, admire Sanity's way of never stooping to the cruddy level of some here.  To my knowledge, he's never purposefully mispronounced Sen.Obama's name, made racially biased or  bigoted comments alluding to fundumental Islamists in the White House...he's been die hard about his opinions, but honorably so.  Actually, i can't say i've seen any of that stuff from Thadius, either.  Opinions or party affiliations don't change the core of a person, and they have been pretty much gentleman through it all. 

Apart from alot of calling Obama "the One"...which though not biased, was annoying, i can't remember CL being a bad sort either.

i think alot of people mistake political leanings for character, and judge too harshly if the opinions of  a person differ too far from what they pronounce as "right, and good".  That's on both sides.
