The McCain Camp Is Grasping At Straws


Really, if they weren't so damn evil they'd be pathetic. Via Ben-

Cindy McCain's lawyer, John Dowd, in a letter complaining of the Times's coverage of Cindy McCian, complained that the Times hasn't spent enough time covering Obama's youthful drug use and other issues:

It is worth noting that you have not employed your investigative assets looking into Michelle Obama. You have not tried to find Barack Obama's drug dealer that he wrote about in his book, Dreams of My Father. Nor have you interviewed his poor relatives in Kenya and determined why Barack Obama has not rescued them. Thus, there is a terrific lack of balance here.

In fact, the Times, like other outfits, has chased this, and one of the strangest investigative pieces of the cycle reported something that many readers of Dreams for my Father suspected: Obama had, if anything, overstated the drug use in his book.


I'm feeling particularly mean this morning, so go gawk at the effect all that drug use did to old Cindy Lou right here. I'd steal the pic, but I might scare away our readers.

Late Show w/ David Letterman - Sen John McCain, Parts 1 & 2



UPDATED ADD TO UPDATE- Looks like the CBS video of the full interview is again up.



Dave, Dave, Dave.

ADDED- CBS disabled the video and it stinks. I subscribe to their very own YouTube channel and regularly post their vids. I'm guessing McCain wasn't happy with his performance.

UPDATED- I found parts 1 & 2, you can see 3 & 4 here if you can stomach it.

Kentucky In Play?


Well bless my buttons and call me Mildred.

Tom Daschle told me last night that the playing field could get even broader, in our story on Obama's offense, and McCain's defense:

Obama is weighing broadening a map that already appears big and red into four more states. A top adviser, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, said Obama is considering expanding his active campaign back into North Dakota and Georgia, from which he’d shifted resources, and into the Appalachian heartland of West Virginia and Kentucky.

“Those states are much more in play than they were a week ago,” Daschle said.

Another Racist Palin crowd in Ohio



Of course it's Al Jazeera covering it 'cause our media is too worried about Madonna's upcoming divorce. h/t for script.

"I'm afraid if he wins, the black [sic] will take over. He's not a Christian! This is a Christian nation! What is our country gonna end up like?"

"When you got a Negro running for president, you need a first stringer. He's definitely a second stringer."

"He seems like a sheep - or a wolf in sheep's clothing to be honest with you. And I believe Palin - she's filled with the Holy Spirit, and I believe she's gonna bring honesty and integrity to the White House."

"He's related to a known terrorist, for one."

"He is friends with a terrorist of this country!"

"He must support terrorists! You know, uh, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. And that to me is Obama."

"Just the whole, Muslim thing, and everything, and everybody's still kinda - a lot of people have forgotten about 9/11, but... I dunno, it's just kinda... a little unnerving."

"Obama and his wife, I'm concerned that they could be anti-white. That he might hide that."

"I don't like the fact that he thinks us white people are trash... because we're not!"

When will Palin rebut this bullshit from the stage?

ADDED- The person who yelled "Kill Him" at this rally is getting some loving attention from the Secret Service.

Quote Of The Day


Because it made me laugh even with McFailin' bleeting in the other room. Via Eve in comments, re the debate-

The only way for McCain to hurt Obama is by endorsing him. --Anon blog commenter
