What Is American and What Isn’t?
Consider this a quickie. Read Desert Beacon’s exceptional post on the problem that endorsements present for McCain and Obama, and the latent racism of “movement conservatism.” Is gay hating more American than damning the United States for real or perceived racism? I’m not going to wade into those waters, but I do […]
McCain Late for Endorsement: Bush Tap Dances
You really can’t make this stuff up. McCain is late for his own historic endorsement by a sitting president, president tap dances for the press, press gets hot dogs, although I’m sure they would’ve rather had barbecued ribs. How embarrassing is that for President Bush. Is McCain standing a step behind Bush […]
The McCain Campaign: Straight Talk It’s Not
FEC Warns McCain about campaign financing.
Lobbyist Paxson confirms that McCain met with FCC on his behalf.
Anti-lobbyist McCain surrounded by lobbyists.
In McCain’s case, some conservatives decide adultery doesn’t matter.
Obama Born of A Communist Plot. He’s Black Too.
No lie, the basic argument of Lisa Schiffren at NRO is that Obama is the progeny of a communist plot that entailed white women marrying black men (usually Jewish women). So what? Why does Schiffren care that Obama is a “black/half Jewish, red diaper baby?” Schiffren manages to bring together a […]
The Hubris of John McCain
The New York Times tackles the hubris of candidate John McCain. Maybe he didn’t learn all that much from his history with the Keating Five?
But the concerns about Mr. McCain’s relationship with Ms. Iseman underscored an enduring paradox of his post-Keating career. Even as he has vowed to hold himself to the highest […]
The McCain Bush Relationship. Hold Me.
John McCain can try and distance himself from President Bush all he likes, but you can’t run from this image or the uncomfortable positions McCain has recently taken, particularly on torture.
John McCain: A Profile in Moral Cowardice
Wow. McCain votes against banning the CIA from using torture. Thank god Andrew Sullivan calls MCain on his moral failure, although I think he is still giving McCain too much credit:
Maybe McCain is waiting to take on the forces of Rove and the electoral advantages of appealing to crude, fascistic templates of “torture-them-or-we-all-die” […]
No You Can’t: John McCain Video
Look, there’s another mashup of Obama’s “Yes You Can” video. This one is by Lee Stranahan is called “No You Can’t.”
Isn’t the internet great?
John McCain Video: john.he.is
Kirk Caraway found this YouTube mashup of the Obama “Yes We Can” video featuring will.i.am that illustrates just ONE of the important differences between McCain and Obama.
“I don’t think Americans are concerned if we’re there for 100 years or a 1,000 years.” John McCain as featured in john.he.is.
That’s what you think.
Suspend Shuster? Suspend McCain.
I call bullshit on this one:
David Shuster gets suspended for that? Okay, he was a little bit out of line but come on–this is the era of “Pimp My Ride,” Pimp My Stroller, and PimpMyProfile. How in the hell haven’t Chris Matthews or Keith Olbermann been suspended multiple times if this is […]
McCain at CPAC
Funny, there was some definite booing of McCain’s at CPAC, even though conference attendees were warned NOT to boo McCain (via INP). Granted, I wasn’t there but Anne Schroeder Mullins of Politico was. Obviously the CPAC crowd pulled behind McCain–what choice do they have? Huckabee? It doesn’t even look possible. […]
Super Tuesday Hangover on Monday: McCain and Huckabee Making A Chump Out of Romney
The minx has been working her busy little booty off–during the biggest electoral story in HISTORY no less (yes, I’m exaggerating). Plus, I think I have a hairball–so not much posting.
Last night, and this is no lie, I watched Nora O’Donnell and a panel of experts on MSNBC debate the size of Hillary Clinton’s […]
Giuliani Continues To Delude Self, Will Endorse McCain at Reagan Library
Rudy Giuliani continues on his cycle of self-delusion as he prepares to endorse John McCain at the Reagan Library, no doubt in front of the nation with the help of CNN, FOX News, and MSNBC News. Oh! The symbolism! The elegance of such a gesture! Who better to endorse Bush super-panderer […]
