Jesus, these people will lie about anything, won’t they? Senator John McCain has drawn some of the biggest crowds of his presidential campaign since adding Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to his ticket on Aug. 29. Now officials say they can’t substantiate the figures McCain’s aides are claiming. McCain aide Kimmie Lipscomb told reporters on Sept. 10 that an outdoor rally […]

Whoa. Somebody borrowed “a pair” from Hillary. Crazy part is, she’s from Fox News! Of course, Tucker Bounds is a total douchebag. But the fact that he’s been reduced to admitting that they are telling lies about Obama raising everyone’s taxes is because they don’t believe him. Get that? They say he’s going to raise the estate tax, the payroll […]

Governor Palin today spelled out what her role will be in the White House, should they get elected. Here it is: Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said Monday she would concentrate on energy, government reform and helping families with special needs children if Republicans win the White House… I’m guessin’ that “special needs” families all over Alaska aren’t too thrilled […]

Female McPalin surrogate and expert on sexism in politics, Carly Fiorina was asked today about the stupendous Saturday Night Live skit featuring Tina Fey as Governor Palin and Amy Pohler as Senator Clinton. Here’s what she said: INTERVIEWER: You are the first person from the McCain campaign I can ask, what did you think of Tina Fey as Sarah Palin? […]

Governor Palin took a break from using her “Theenks, But New Theenks” line in her stump speeches last week. You know, when she was actually in Alaska. Where they know more than they probably care to about bridges to nowhere and stuff. This week she’s back in the lower 48 and guess what? Yup. She’s back to theenking but new […]

Senator McCain finally admitted today that Senator Obama did not call Sarah Palin a pig. Then when he was asked about his LIE that Governor Palin had never asked for any earmarks as governor (she asked for $200 million worth, actually), his response? That Senator Obama had asked for more. Notice that diversion? Doesn’t address the fact that he lied. […]

Now we’re talkin’. More like this please. The McCain campaign’s response? We’re running a campaign to win. And we’re not too concerned about what the media filter tries to say about it. In other words, they’ll just keep lying ’cause that’s how they think they’re going to win. And fuck you and the media if you don’t like it. That’s […]

We lost one of the good ones this past Friday when David Foster Wallace, author of the legendary Infinite Jest, was found dead from suicide. DFW’s insight into society and American life, in particular, made him a standout in the literary world. His death is a tragic loss. In 2000, DFW spent two weeks on the campaign trail with John […]

The US economy is almost literally melting down before our eyes. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are taken over by the US government. Lehman Brothers going bankrupt. Merrill Lynch has had to sell itself to Bank of America to save itself. A.I.G. is is asking the Federal Reserve for $40 billion to keep afloat. The list goes on. And yet […]

Sarah Palin has “been to Iraq”. Actually, she almost was in Iraq. I mean, as in, she was right on the border and stuff. Asked to clarify where she traveled in Iraq, Palin’s spokeswoman, Maria Comella, confirmed that “She visited a military outpost on the other side of the Kuwait-Iraq border.” Not so, according to Lieutenant Colonel Dave Osborn, commander […]

Now THAT’S Calling a Fucking Liar a Fucking Liar. No holds barred from the St. Petersburg Times out of Florida today. None at all… Campaign of lies disgraces McCain McCain’s straight talk has become a toxic mix of lies and double-speak. It is leaving a permanent stain on his reputation for integrity, and it is a short-term strategy that eventually […]
