Thursday, October 2nd, 2008Jon Stewart of The Daily Show on Comedy Central does a nice compilation of the new ‘dramedy’ on CBS aka the Katie Couric-Sarah Palin interviews.
Newt: Palin in enemy territory (Katie Couric)
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008Discussing the Sarah Palin interview on Katie Couric, Newt Gingrich proclaimed Palin shouldn’t have gone into ‘enemy territory’ by which he meant Katie Couric (yeah, seriously).
I think the end says it all ‘Newt Gingrich thinks Sarah Palin isn’t ready to be interviewed by Katie Couric, but IS ready to be America’s Vice President. Think about [...]
Olbermann’s Special Comment on RNC’s Video
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008Keith Olbermann had a special comment about the RNC’s 9/11 video.
Say what you will about Olbermann, but he’s right on the money with this commentary. The RNC’s 9/11 Video was distasteful, political fear mongering, and quite frankly, shameful (that word keeps showing up in descriptions of the McCain campaign.)
Transcript:
As promised, a Special Comment about [...]
Sarah Palin: No Clue on Fannie/Freddie
Monday, September 8th, 2008A McClatchy report today has information about the government takeover of lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In the report, Sarah Palin, shows her complete naivete of the Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae situation.
McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, speaking in Colorado Springs, Colo., said Fannie and Freddie had “gotten too big and too expensive [...]
James Carville vs. Michelle Bachman
Friday, September 5th, 2008I almost missed this one. James Carville and Congresswoman Michelle Bachman were on Larry King Live on Tuesday discussing Sarah Palin’s qualifications.
Carville pointed to her complete lack of experience, noting correctly that she had only been out of the country once and has absolutely no foreign policy experience. Michelle Bachman tried some line about her [...]
Politicization of 9/11 – RNC Video
Thursday, September 4th, 20087 years later and they’re still politicizing 9/11 and exploiting those that lost their life on 9/11. We’ve all seen 9/11 tribute videos and this is not what they look like.
This is the politics of fear plain and simple.
I am so disgusted when politicians use 9/11 to make a political point. The Republican National [...]
Palin Emails Call for Wooten’s Firing
Thursday, September 4th, 2008The Washington Post today released portions of emails written by Sarah Palin to Walter Monegan pretty directly calling for his dismissal.
Here is an excerpt:
“It was a joke, the whole year long ‘investigation’ of him. This is the same trooper who’s out there today telling people the new administration is going to destroy the trooper organization, [...]
Politico Apologizes on Behalf of the Media
Thursday, September 4th, 2008Politico apologized on behalf the entire Media and ‘Media Elite’ to the McCain/Palin campaign. They really feel as though the media crossed the line by doing their job. They feel really bad about actually doing research on the woman that could be one heartbeat away from the presidency.
It’s a good read. Almost as sarcastic as [...]
Jon Stewart Slams Palin Coverage Hypocrisy
Thursday, September 4th, 2008On last night’s Daily Show, Jon Stewart lit up Karl Rove, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Dick Morris, Nancy Pfotenhauer (McCain Staffer), and Sarah Palin for their hypocrisy on views such as experience, teen pregnancy, and sexism.
He highlighted Karl Rove’s downing of Tim Kaine’s experience as a mayor and governor and subsequent lavishing of Sarah Palin’s [...]
Noun-Verb-POW
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008In an anti-climactic sideshow, John McCain appeared on the Tonight Show. Leno lobbed him a softball “For one million dollars, how many houses do you have?”
Well… McCain either still doesn’t know the answer or doesn’t need a million dollars, or both, because he resorted to his old standby:
Noun
Verb
POW
The fact is, he tried to tag [...]
