Bailout Update: McCain Own Worst Enemy

Damn! It’s getting harder and harder to write satire these days when Insane McCain seems so intent on pushing the envelope of self-parody. Too bad SNL doesn’t have a male version of Tina Fey to play the guy. Their scriptwriters could take the day off, and just let the script editor insert his own words. From Politico: McCain takes credit …

More Proximity Politics

The little man rises up on his toes again.  It’s an uncontrollable urge to be bigger than he really is, if even for a split second. The little arms shoot out in tandem, fingers splayed as wide as they will go;  the gesture is brief, tentative, and awkward, out of sync with his emphasis:  “Sentor [sic] Obama took a very …

ANOTHER INSULTING ATROCITY!

You ASSHOLES may run but you can’t hide This bailout’s mission is to protect the OBSCENE amount of wealth that has been accumulated in the last eight years.

Oh. Just. Shoot. Me.

This controlling the narrative stuff by the McInsane campaign is really getting out of hand. Don’t they have anything better to do than exploit these kids for their sorry ass political advantage? From The Sunday Times September 28, 2008 McCain camp prays for Palin wedding The marriage of the vice-presidential candidate’s pregnant teenage daughter could lift a flagging campaign. In …

My Daily Dose Of Cognitive Dissonance

From ThinkProgess: McCain never showed up at Capitol Hill for bailout negotiations today. After declaring he’d return to Washington to help with the bailout negotiations immediately after last night’s debate, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) never went to Capitol Hill today. In fact, McCain stayed largely holed up in his Arlington apartment, leaving only to go to his campaign headquarters just …
