As I watched Keith Olbermann on MSNBC last night, they ran through a series of emails Sarah Palin sent to McCain staffers during the campaign that discussed things like her appearance on Saturday Night Live and her interview with “The Perky One”, Katie Couric. It was funny and all, watching her get lambasted for lying by the very douchnozzles we […]

There’s an artist in Ann Arbor. She loves Senator Obama but she hates knocking on doors, making phone calls and entering data. So she took it upon herself to raise several hundred dollars in donations and then made dozens of LARGE yard signs for the Obama Campaign for Change. For free. We were lucky enough to score one of these […]

Joe Klein at Time’s Swampland blog bars no holds: Referring to the McPalin attempts to cast aspersions on Barack Obama’s character As I said, I’m of two minds about this. I don’t want to give currency to this sewage, so it will remain below the fold. And I’ll try to devote the lion’s share of my time to the issues–the […]

Much, much worse, in fact: McCain: I routinely turn to Palin for foreign policy advice. Jesus, are you kidding me? John McCain is getting foreign policy advice from a woman who just got her first passport last year? O. M. F. G. NPR: Given what you’ve said Senator, is there an occasion where you could imagine turning to Governor Palin […]

She’s just so…what’s the word? Irrepressible? No, that’s not it. Spontaneous? Mmmmm…no, not that either. Dumb? THAT’S IT!!! Sarah Palin told a customer at a Philadelphia restaurant on Saturday that the United States should “absolutely” launch cross-border attacks from Afghanistan into Pakistan in the event that it becomes necessary to “stop the terrorists from coming any further in,” a comment […]

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 […]

I’m just sayin’…CNN’s Campbell Brown finally called the McCain campaign out on its sexist behavior with regard to Sarah Palin. This is the most direct and succinct statement of how sexist their actions are that I have seen yet. So let’s see, the McCain campaign has totally lost which of the the people and groups you’d most expect to be […]

Well then. Today was an interesting day wasn’t it? First, we had the Sarah Palin Does the U.N. show where she met with the Prime Minister of Afghanistan, with Henry Kissinger, and, of course, with Bono. There was a bit of a kerfuffle when, not making this up, McCain’s campaign said “no reporters”. Only still cameras. So the vice presidential […]

It’s been over a month since John McCain has done a “press availability” where he answers actual questions, ones he hasn’t prepared for ahead of time. Sarah Palin has been his vice-presidential candidate for over three weeks and has yet to do a press conference although the election is a scant six weeks from now. They are doing what appear […]

Charles M. Blow has a new editorial piece out in the New York Times that’s a perfect characterization of the Palin Phenomenon right now. Here’s some of it: It turns out that the Republican enthusiasm for Sarah Palin is just as superficial as she is. They were so eager for someone to cheer for (because they really don’t like you) […]

No, I’m not talking about flip-flops. Flip-flops, schmip-flops. I’m talking about how he feels about Barack Obama. First he spends pretty much the entire campaign saying Obama hasn’t had any significant impact in the Senate so far, that he voted “present” all the time. Okay, I’m with you, John. It’s true that Barack has not spent anywhere near the time […]
