This is perfect:

Have you ever wondered about the inner-workings of a big time, presidential campaign? Asked yourself, how do they do it? How do they craft a message and get it out to the American people? Well, if you’re John McCain and are 7 days away from seeing your lifelong ambition go down the toilet, it’s simple. You join forces with Matt Drudge and Fox News…let’s call them the Axis of Weasel…and then you go to town.

Now granted, despite their best efforts, the fake “B” mutilation story didn’t have legs, but hey, it wasn’t their fault that their victim couldn’t get her self-inflicted wound right.…

It all started with Sarah Palin’s first declaration that Senator Obama was “paling around with terrorists”. But wait. May he was “palling around with terrorists.” No, that doesn’t look right.

Dang it. She’s gone and taken a noun and made a verb out of it and now nobody knows how to spell it.

The AP says it’s “palling”. So does the CNN and Christian Science Monitor.

But wait. CNN also says it’s “paling”. They’re not very consistent! And so does NPR. And the Washington Post. And ABC News.

It’s all so confusing. Of course, when you just make shit up, I guess that’s what you can expect.…

THIS is perfect.

I look at these people and can’t quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention?

To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”

To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked…

I wonder if, in the end, the undecideds aren’t the biggest pessimists of all.…

Are you fucking kidding me???
