In re-introduction, Palin to do more interviews... →
Cool. Tell your dumb story, and then explain how that story has somehow prepared you to solve this economic crisis. That will be a fucking hoot.
Yes.
alexbalk:
Everything John McCain did on stage last night was consistent with trying to score tactical points in those 90 minutes. He belittled Obama with the repeated “he doesn’t understand”s; he was explicitly insulting to him in saying at the end “I honestly don’t believe that Senator Obama has the knowledge or experience” for the job (a line Joe Biden dare not use so bluntly on Sarah Palin);...
Or I guess you could spin it this dumb way. →
My guess — based on nothing but hope for a change — is that Sarah Palin just needs some freedom. I don’t know who is holding her back but if John McCain wants to win this thing it had better not be him and his staff. When I watch these interviews, I see a woman who looks like she’s stayed up all night studying and is trying to remember the jurisprudential chronology of privacy vis-a-vis...
Shouts and Murmurs !
Sarah Palin was also the mayor of a very small town. To tell the truth, this is where my qualifications begin to outstrip even hers. I have never been the mayor of anything. I can’t even spell right. I had help with the above, but now— Murray, note to Murray: do not correct what follows. Lets shoe the people how I rilly spel Mooray and punshuate so thay can c how reglar I am, and ther 4 fit to...

John McCain, who is a pussy, sends out this statement attacking everyone because he has to go back on his word which makes him SOOOOO MAD!
The difference between Barack Obama and John McCain was apparent during the White House meeting yesterday where Barack Obama’s priority was political posturing in his opening monologue defending the package as it stands. John McCain listened to all sides so...

The National Review Falls Out of Love With Sarah... →
As we’ve seen and heard more from John McCain’s running mate, it is increasingly clear that Palin is a problem. Quick study or not, she doesn’t know enough about economics and foreign policy to make Americans comfortable with a President Palin should conditions warrant her promotion.
Palin didn’t make a mess cracking the glass ceiling. She simply glided through it. It was fun while it...

WatchShoot me in the fucking face with this bullshit. Honestly.
McCain might miss his photo-op! →
A larger than usual contingent of 75 reporters, eight TV cameras, a dozen print photographers are crammed into a stuffy hallway waiting for Chairmen Dodd and Frank to emerge, along with their Republican counterparts, to announce the framework of a deal.
Obama email calls bullshit on bullshit →
From McCain’s remarks today: I cannot carry on a campaign as though this dangerous situation had not occurred, or as though a solution were at hand, which it clearly is not. It has become clear that no consensus has developed to support the Administration’s proposal to meet the crisis. I do not believe that the plan on the table will pass as it currently stands, and we are running out of time.

Was it all Palin damage control? →
I’m serious. The more I look at what happened today, the more I think it was all an elaborate attempt to stem the fallout from the truly disastrous interview Sarah Palin taped this morning with Katie Couric.
Agreed. If McCain hadn’t pulled this ridiculous stunt, we’d all be gleefully shitting on Palin at this very instant.
John McCain ‘Suspending’ Campaign by Campaigning... →
It really depends on what you mean by “suspend,” doesn’t it? John McCain’s maverick move to suspend his campaign so he can grandstand on something he knows literally nothing about — the American Economy — isn’t actually a suspension of anything. It’s a stupid stunt to get more campaign press coverage. And nothing is suspended at all. Go to McCain’s website, and you’ll see he’s still collecting...

ABC News’ Tahman Bradley Reports: A senior University of Mississippi official reacted Wednesday to the news that Sen. John McCain R-Ariz., wants to postpone Friday’s presidential debate, saying that such a move would be “devastating” for the university which has already invested millions in preparation for the debate.

No, dickwad. How about you go head to head with Obama and explain why you are more suited to run this country, including your plan for the economy, instead.
This is such a bullshit political grandstanding move it makes me want to vomit.
As Ben Smith perfectly put it, the only thing that has changed in the last 48 hours is the public polling.

Katie Couric: If this doesn’t pass, do you think there’s a risk of another Great Depression?
Sarah Palin: Unfortunately, that is the road that America may find itself on. Not necessarily this, as it’s been proposed, has to pass or we’re gonna find ourselves in another Great Depression. But there has to be action taken, bipartisan effort – Congress not pointing fingers at this point at … one...
