VIDEO-- Jack Cafferty: "The Muslim world could have interpreted [the Rumsfeld bible briefings] as a religious war"

But Nancy Pelosi is the one everyone's talking about. Yeah, that's logical. (Sheldon Whitehouse just said that she's "been the victim of a political stunt" on The Ed Show. He, like Ed, believes there will be a Truth Commission, that it will be unavoidable after all the various intel reports come out.)

VIDEO: CNN's Jack Cafferty - Palin is a JOKE

"If John McCain this woman will be one 72-year-old's heartbeat away from being President of the United States. And if that doesn't scare the hell out of you, it should.... I'm 65, and I've been covering politics... for a long time. That is one of the most pathetic pieces of tape I have ever seen for someone aspiring for one of the highest offices..."

And here are some bonus quotes, kids!

Via an e-mail from Jeff Stein (can't link, I don't know his sources):

Here's another scathing assessment (Republicans are not happy):

I think it's an unserious -- even fairly offensive -- choice. McCain isn't even officially his party's nominee yet, and he's already treating his presumptive office with disdain, and making executive decisions that seem like they've been phoned in or made in a panic.

Don't tell me it's his "brave" choice because she's a woman -- the Republican Party has many women more qualified for the Vice Presidency. I don't agree with them on issues, but they'd be more qualified. This choice is indeed akin to choosing Quayle -- it smacks of choosing someone because they won't get in the way, or because all the other potential candidates were too personally threatening. It's just a bad choice, period.

And from a March 2007article in Alaska Business Monthly:

ABM: We've lost a lot of Alaska's military members to the war in Iraq. How do you feel about sending more troops into battle, as President Bush is suggesting?

Palin: I've been so focused on state government, I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq.

Jack Cafferty Does Some Truth Telling on Campaign Ads

Jack Cafferty Rips McCain's Jealousy

Seems Mr Cafferty sees it the way I do. Note the hesitation after "piece of...". Totally stolen from Al Rodgers, but that gives me an excuse to tell you to go over there and look at the glorious pictures he's accumulated of all things Obama. Don't worry, I'll be using some of those pics soon.

CAFFERTY: I'd be willing to make you a bet. If you added up all of the people who have attended every political event John McCain has held since the campaign started, the number would not get to 200,000, which is the number of people that watched Barack Obama speak in Berlin.

That ad that he put out is nothing more than the same jealousy he displayed last week when Obama was on this tour.

McCain went to Canada, Mexico and Colombia. And the only thing I remember about any of those three trips or visits was some hostages got released one day while he was in Colombia. It had nothing to do with McCain being there.

So, you know, Obama is getting a lot of attention and McCain doesn't like it. It's jealousy.

But at the beginning of the campaign he said -- this is the guy who rides around on something called the Straight Talk Express -- this will not be that kind of a campaign. We're going to keep it on the high road. We're going to talk about the issues. And he's come out with one snarky, low rent piece of television after another.

Now, that being said, McCain's running on short money.

So how do you compensate?

You put out these goofy commercials with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in them and then people like us run them over and over and over again for free.
