Sarah and John, Together At Last

Journalism

jumps the shark, surrenders public responsibility to The Daily Show.
Experienced script writers needed.

Hmmm

The motion requesting sealing the divorce case of Scott Richter, Todd Palin's former business partner and Sarah's alleged love interest, was denied.
Stay tuned at your supermarket checkout line as the National Enquirer's crack scandal team continues.
By the way, I have it on good authority that John Edwards has cancelled all public appearances between now and Nov. 4.

How soon will she withdraw? Money?

UPDATE: 8/07/08 Debunked. But there's always that other business partner.

Stay Calm

Ignore the broadcast media. Remember there's a lot more going on out there than anyone (except contrarienne) is telling you about. Courage.
I'm pondering. Should we start a pool naming the date Palin withdraws?

Samantha Bee!

Chhhoice? Sayit!

Calm Down

This is all before the Palin speech but, seriously, don't panic. She was aiming it all to the base. Focus groups show Indies turned off.

Next couple days, we'll know for sure. Hillary's in Florida a tomorrow, heh.

CORREX: Hillary's in Florida on Monday.

PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama continues to hold a lead over John McCain, 49% to 42%, in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update.

Just In Case You Missed the Main Theme

of the Obama's campaign against McSame.

Barack!

Today's post-Sarah news conference.
 
The campaign has received $8 million in donations since Palin was named.
They expect it to top $10 million by the time McCain is done speaking tonight.
Kick 'em some love.

Sarah!

I wasn't going to post this bio video of Palin that the R's had to drop last night because Rudy ran long. (I turned him down, I just couldn't watch or listen to Rudy. They all pretty much strike me that way now.)
But I wanted to post my favorite comment about it so thought I'd give it to you in case you're interested. No, I'm not planning on watching.





Comment O' Teh Day:
I keep feeling sorry for the fucking moose! Anyone who's ever seen one in the wild knows how awesome a moose is. The thought of this Hooters waitress blowing one away so she can feed her wretched little tribe of hillbillies infuriates me.

Just drips, doesn't it. Yum, yup, yup. Palinesque, I swould say.. 

Cindy Fashionista

Vanity Fair examines the outfits so you don't have to:

One of the persistent memes in the Republican line of attack against Barack Obama is the notion that he is an elitist, whereas the G.O.P. represent real working Americans like Levi “F-in’ Redneck” Johnston.

Figures Cindy's Monday night show-up ensemble was worth about $299,000, slightly above the market price of the average American home. This Bud's for you, hon.


Umm, no, not that one.

Nah-no.

This one from Monday night at the RNC.

TDS

Once again, the Daily Show does what no one in the mainstream media can accomplish. Research!
Oh, the horror  hypocrisy.

They Dinn't, Tell Me They Dinn't

John McCain's campaign says it might sue National Enquirer for its story alleging Sarah Palin had affair with husband's business partner.

From CBS News' John Bentley:

(ST. PAUL, MINN.) – John McCain’s campaign threatened legal action against the National Enquirer today for running a story about McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin, allegedly having an affair with her husband’s business partner.

“The smearing of the Palin family must end. The allegations contained on the cover of the National Enquirer insinuating that Gov. Palin had an extramarital affair are categorically false. It is a vicious lie,” said McCain senior adviser Steve Schmidt.

Comment O' Teh Day: John McCaine reads the National Enquirer so you don't have to.

Contrarienne is not amused.


They've got a theme song, too.

Oh, Noes, More Sarah!

Palin Went to See Ivana Trump at Costco, Saying Alaska was So Desperate for “Any Semblance of Glamour and Culture”. “Sarah Palin, a commercial fisherman from Wasilla, told her husband on Tuesday she was driving to Anchorage to shop at Costco. Instead, she headed straight for Ivana. And there, at J.C. Penney’s cosmetic department, was Ivana, the former Mrs. Donald Trump, sitting at a table next to a photograph of herself. She wore a light-colored pantsuit and pink fingernail polish. Her blonde hair was coiffed in a bouffant French twist. ‘We want to see Ivana,’ said Palin, who admittedly smells like salmon for a large part of the summer, ‘because we are so desperate in Alaska for any semblance of glamour and culture.’” [Anchorage Daily News (Alaska), 4/3/96]

It's all here.

What time is that speech tonight? I have to watch.

Ahh, At Last, Some New State Polls

Check out Elizabeth Dole, too. Heh.

If Obama's leads in Iowa and Ohio were to hold through November, it would be impossible for John McCain to win unless he could pick up some Kerry states.

Reasons Why V.P. Palin Doomed

She's a liar. She was never vetted and now that it's happening, it's not working out. She uses her political power for personal gain. (One of her aides just backed down from testifying on Troopergate, a day after the McCain team landed in Alaska.) Whew!

Oh, and Peggy Noonan said, "It's over."

And she supported the Alaska First secessionist movement that her husband was a member of. (The 80-year-old founder was killed in 1993 in a "plastic explosives deal gone bad!") And she headed up corrupt Sen. Ted Stevens' 527, a job she took after leaving a state-appointed position because it was too hard and took up too much time.

Soap opera? No, Jerry Springer.

McCain, Cynical?

Mike Murphy on the Palin pick.
" You know what's really the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical."

Where was McCain today? Why at the airport,, greeting the Baby Daddy. My money's on an onstage wedding tomorrow night right before McCain's speech. Why else would he be there?

What They Really Think of Palin

McCain supporters Mike Murphy and Peggy Noonan don't know their mics are on. Heh.

Why McCain Must Win

From ABC News:

Looking to the future but with one eye on the past, Biden also promised that an Obama-Biden government would go through Bush administration data with "a fine-toothed comb" and pursue criminal charges if necessary.

"If there has been a basis upon which you can pursue someone for a criminal violation," he said, "they will be pursued, not out of vengeance, not out of retribution - out of the need to preserve the notion that no one, no one, no attorney general, no president, no one is above the law."

OMG! Bristol's Preggers?

Bristol who?

Sarah!

Panderer Palin: For the Bridge to Nowhere before she was agin' it. Yup, yup.
