Mike Huckabee sides with Obama

By GottaLaff

I should have included this in my post below. If you haven't seen this yet:

McCain ally Mike Huckabee took Obama's side on the issue, saying he didn't think it was a swipe at Palin.

"It's an old expression, and I'm going to have to cut Obama some slack on that one. I do not think he was referring to Sarah Palin; he didn't reference her. If you take the two sound bites together, it may sound like it," he said on Fox's "Hannity and Colmes."

"But I've been a guy at the podium many times, and you say something that's maybe a part of an old joke and then somebody ties it in. So, I'm going to have to cut him slack."

There. 'Nuff said.

Video: John Sidney McCain puts lipstick on a pig. Make him apologize!

Because Firefox is still technically mute, I'm posting this without viewing it first. But I have seen the clip on the Television Machine, and I have faith in Trusty Investigative Reporter JoeInGeneva:


Irrelevant to election issues. But I'm posting the video anyway, to make the hypocrisy point.

Shallow Thoughts: Priorities edition

By GottaLaff

I don't have my own computer for awhile, so no Shallow Thoughts logo, but imagine it for a second. ... I'll wait. Okay, thanks. Good. Now we can continue.

This is my favorite the line-o'-the-day:

“Spare me the phony outrage.”
--Barack Obama in response to [fill in Palin/McCain Swiftboat smeary lie here].

Now back to the issues. You remember those, right? Those are the things that affect our lives, our children's lives, and our grandchildren's lives. Matters of public concern. Life-changing policies.

And in case Palin/McCain forgot, lipstick has never been an issue.

Thank you for wading into Shallow Thoughts. Please resume all normal activity.
