Cenk Uygur discusses the VP debate on CNN
It's hard to put someone away when they won't engage in actual debate. It was like she was delivering one of a dozen preplanned speeches, based on whatever the topic of the question was. And people just eat it up.

Countdown's Worst Persons: 10/3/08
This was a little excessive this time, wasn't it? How does a man who's clearly enthralled with his vice-presidential candidate get picked as worse than the man promoting racism? Seriously, he's simply describing her charisma in great detail, pushing that into masturbation is a pretty crude stretch.

I thought Palin's winks were a little outrageous, same as the way she kept speaking, and even how she would address the camera instead of her moderator/opponent. But I'm not going to call someone the worst person in the world for having a different opinion on that...

Palin Remind Anyone Else of Fargo Character? - "You betcha!"
Ya know, I grew up in a small farming town in the Midwest, and even I don't talk like that. She's been to college and had a full education, right? Maybe everyone up there really does talk like that, but it just strikes me as an effected method of speech. It's like having Yosemite Sam up there speaking.

McCain advisor gets pwnd on MSNBC by footage of McCain
Her presentation is good. You'd hardly think that what she was saying afterwards was a complete 180° turn from what she was saying previously, the way she says it.

McCain's All In Bet on the Stupidity of the American People
>> ^NetRunner
If a member of your family was an alcoholic, and you tell them they have a problem, does that mean you hate them, or love them?


Well, according to some people, it would probably mean you're in league with terrorists.

Sen. Schumer: McCain Coming to D.C. Not Very Helpful
It's hard to take fault with their line of thinking. After all the flak that Bush got for in-activity during major disasters, it seems Mccain's trying to project the opposite image as somone who's right there where action's needed. Of course, the difference is that Bush has the Executive power to take action, and Mccain's some senator from Arizona.

McCain Wants to Suspend Palin's Debate Too
If they don't get Palin to show up for the debate, they could always just get that chick from the Saturday Night Live skit to play the part, right?

You're Wrong Bill
Well, we can always explain her away as a liberal or something, right?

Oprah vs. Over 9,000 Penises
Hoo boy, this is great. The way she's reporting it, she obviously honestly believes she just stumbled across some kind of underground, organized fraternity of child molesters. And it's time to take all 9000+ of them down!

McCain thinks Spain is a neighbour of the U.S!
The comments from Mccain's press corps never fail to deliver. I think that's the first time that I've heard the term "keeping our options open" used to describe precisely the opposite (refusing to meet with opposing foreign heads of state).

Countdown : KO on FOX News' Softball Palin Interview
With Olbermann, as always, I agree with the content, but the delivery puts my back up. It's very undignified, and completely at odds with his self-image as some kind of crusader. I wonder if I'd feel less inclined to punch him in the face if I just read the transcripts?

Rachel Maddow: Palin Will Not Cooperate With Investigation
Ouch, I had no idea about this, and a little bit of googling turned up more than I expected. Wasn't Palin generally acclaimed for fighting corruption? This seems a bit ironic (or hypocritical, depending on how strong you want to word it).

McCain: Palin Is Top Energy Expert In US, Understands Russia
Gee, since Chicago is the nation's largest transportation hub, I guess that means I must be one of the most informed people when it comes to planes, trains, and automobiles. And by extension, acting too, since that was also the name of a movie. Where to I apply for the cabinet position?

Hannity has a Meltdown on the Economy
Inflation and unemployment lower now than it has been in thirty years? What is this being based off of? "The recession that Clinton-Gore gave us", seriously? Blame the bad economy right now on the president who was in office seven years ago, during which time the economy was supposedly still healthy? Accusing the author of being partisan on the subject was just the icing on the cake. The arrogance and hypocrisy is astounding. And yet, people will eat this stuff up. It's like reality television meets politics.
