Oops. Someone rolled out an internet banner ad a day early, it appears: Screen shot of the webpage from the Wall Street Journal featuring the ad HERE. “McCain Wins Debate!” declares the ad which features a headshot of a smiling McCain with an American flag background. Another ad spotted by our eagle-eyed observer featured a quote from McCain campaign manager […]

Maverick – mav·er·ick /ˈmævərɪk, ˈmævrɪk/ Pronunciation – [mav-er-ik, mav-rik] noun – A person who lurches from idea to idea with no rational or logical explanation or progression in order to appear to be challenging the status quo. Thanks to John McCain for this new definition. I’m just sayin’…

Hilzoy over at Obsidian Wings blog sums up McCain’s blatant and cynical politicization of the financial crisis perfectly: David Kurtz notes that McCain had spoken to the House Republicans before they staged their revolt, and that a number of them reported that he seemed sympathetic to their ideas. McCain’s campaign, however, issued a statement saying that he “did not attack […]

John McCain said this week he was suspending his campaign to help solve the nation’s financial crisis. Like hell he did: In Ohio, Brenda Lewis of the Greene County Victory Office seemed surprised there was any doubt that the office would be open. “Suspension of the campaign?” she asked out loud, before saying that her colleagues would be phone banking, […]

From Politico’s fine reporting: President Bush’s lame duck status, and his heavy hand in dealing with lawmakers in his own party for the last seven-plus years, is also coming back to haunt the White House, as House Republicans grumble that Bush is “trying to tear up the Constitution” by committing the federal government to such a massive intervention in the […]

I’d feel a WHOLE lot more comfortable with the government bailouts if fat cats like the CEO at AIG weren’t selling their shares a few days after the bailout to the tune of $1 BILLION. Seriously, this kind of thing couldn’t have been prohibited as part of the buyout deal? What the hell? Nicked from AMERICAblog. I’m just sayin’…

Wanna know what I think is one of the worst aspects of John McCain’s grandstanding and policizing of attempts to resolve our national financial “hiccup”? The fact that the rest of the world is watching our politicians act like complete douchebags in an effort to win an election. The Republicans should be ashamed of how they are behaving. And the […]

Wow. This is a total news flash. Turns out, according to Sarah Palin, that in order to have tax reductions, you need to reduce taxes. From her interview with Katy Couric: So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions. There you have it. I’m just sayin’…

I mean BEER! Beer! Not boobs. BEER! October Fest in Germany is awesome. I’m just oglin’…

And absolutely no meaning or substance whatsoever. No wonder they’re trying to cancel the debates, eh? Watch CBS Videos Online(Sorry ’bout the commericial.) Absolutely pathetic that she is McCain’s choice. Pathetic and so not “Country First” as to be completely laughable. He ought to be ashamed. Like one of Andrew Sullivan’s readers said: The Couric interview reminded me of an […]

Despite the McPalin campaign’s contention otherwise, Rick Davis still is quite involved with the company he started that received at least $15,000 a month until last month from Freddie Mac for doing nothing (yet). Lindsay Beyerstein at The Campaign Silo over at Firedog Lake unearthed proof. < whispers >Someone needs to tell the McPalin campaign about the internets. < /whispers […]
