Pat Buchanan Loves Palin And Reveals Himself A Creationist

On David Gregorie’s MSNBC news show, now renamed 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, hosted by a substitute anchor, Lawrence O’Donell and good ‘ol Pat B got into it pretty big time. O’Donell, finally fed up told Pat that his party celebrated ignorance. Finally O’Donell asked Pat if he believes in evolution. You absolutely must watch this video [...]

A Point for Palin

Sarah Palin has received much deserved criticism on everything from her position of issues, to her lavish wardrobe, to her lack of regular reading, but on election day I thought I would give her a single point of praise.  Palin’s so called release of her medical records showed that her primary care provider is a [...]

The New Ugly: More Ignorance and Bigotry in the McCain-Palin Mob

The latest chant at Palin rallies is this: “Vote McCain, not Hussein!” or “John McCain! Not Hussein!” As NYT’s The Caucus is reporting, the former made an appearance at a rally earlier this week in Pennsylvania, the latter at one this morning in Florida:
After the rally in Florida ended, two of the people leading the [...]

It is not, one supposes, egotistical to note that the story I told you here last Monday (”Holy You Betcha, Batman! It’s the Barracuda!” 20 Oct 2008.) is now confirmed on Saturday, after having become the subject of speculation throughout the bloviating class. To wit:
Palin allies report rising campaign tension

America’s Buddy-Buddy Campaign Press Corps

by Walter Brasch
It’s a little more than a week before the presidential election, and I’m worried about what happens afterwards. I’m not worried about the candidates, the people, or the country. I’m worried about the media.
First, I’m worried about the TV ad salespeople. For more than a year they haven’t had to do much other [...]

Credible? Incredible!

There are two astonishing liars out there. One of them lasted for 24 hours. The other remains America’s Sweetheart™. And one wonders: what has happened to the old concept of “truthfulness.” (And of “Truth” itself among the self-proclaimed moral mavens of the bloviating class.)

“special” wardrobe needs

Republicans In Civil War?

There are many signs of a Republican revolt. It ranges from wide spread dissatisfaction or outright conversion to the Democratic nominee Barack Obama. Yesterday the was the defection of CC Goldwater and her siblings. Even Neo-Con Ken Adelmann has switched reportedly switched to Obama along with Susan Eisenhower , a former constitutional legal counsel to [...]

Another Endorsement From An Unlikely Source

From the Huffington Post column written by the person who endorsed Barack Obama today.
Nothing about the Republican ticket offers the hope America needs to regain it’s standing in the world, that’s why we’re going to support Barack Obama. I think that Obama has shown his ability and integrity.
After the last eight years, there’s a lot [...]

Barbiegate™ Pushes GOP Collapse

It isn’t often that you see Pat Buchanan and Rush Limbaugh flailing wildly, flecks of foam forming around their political pottymouths. But in the last 24 hours, that’s exactly what I’ve witnessed.

The Party of Lincoln™ bears about as much resemblance TO Lincoln as a grubworm does to a supernova. It is all topsy-turvy: voter suppression, [...]

Craziest Republican of the Day: Sarah Palin

Well, it could be wacko Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who recently called Obama anti-American (and his views “against America“) and said there was anti-American sentiment in Congress, and who has been abandoned by her own party, so crazy is she, but let’s go with Palin, the predictable choice, once again.
In an interview with chief theocrat [...]

Not as Smart as a Third Grader

On Monday, in Colorado, during an interview with NBC affiliate KUSA, Palin was asked a question submitted by a third grader: “What does the vice president do?”
In response, Palin said it was a question her daughter Piper, a second grader, would ask her. And then proceeded to get it wrong: “They’re in charge of the [...]

Do as I Do, and Sometimes as I Say, Just Make Sure You Smear Obama

Sarah Palin is against robocalls… while doing them herself.
She is also against the “atrocious and unacceptable things” some of her supporters have been yelling out at her rallies, vicious and violent slurs directed at Obama, calling them “unacceptable” (though claiming that she hasn’t actually heard any of them, which hardly seems possible)… while stating, in [...]
