Infantilizing John McCain
Jonah Goldberg had an a-ha! moment yesterday, which, as most of Jonah’s a-ha! moments go, involved taking something that someone else thought of and putting it on the National Review’s website. In this case, he figures out that John McCain doesn’t use e-mail because he was POWatized way back when.…
John McCain Is Calling Barack Obama A Terrorist
McCain’s new ad accuses Barack Obama of sending his wolves to Alaska to savage Sarah Palin: Now, I’m very much on the “associated uses of words and images” tip at this point, and the use of that imagery reminds me of nothing so much as George W. Bush’s famously effective…
Video break: the BarackRolling of John McCain
OMG. The tears were streaming down my face. That green and blue screens of death behind McCain at the convention have provided video editing wizards with choice material to work with.…
From GOPs To Gents
Long story short, it looks like McCain and Palin are going to be using stolen American flags at their Colorado Springs rally. Fox News reported that “a vendor” found bags and bags of discarded American flags near trash cans, took them, and handed them over to the McCain campaign. Which,…
The McCains’ Turn To Bore Me
9:48 PM: When I last tuned in to the RNC, they were talking about McCain’s military service. I just turned in to Cindy McCain talking about John McCain’s military service. And then other people’s military service. 9:53 PM: We’re supposed to believe that John McCain is what we’d get if…
He might be in jail, but tonight’s really Abramoff’s night
John McCain is going to dodder on stage and give a repeat of Sarah Palin’s speech from last night (Summary: Kids, get off my lawn! My lawn called….America.), and so it will be easy to miss the real news about he who knows how to keep it real, Republican-style. Jack…
Bludgeoning The Refs To Within An Inch Of Their Lives
What happens when whining like a baby doesn’t work? You whine even more, motherfucker. I can’t particularly blame the media here, the simple pack animals that they tend to act as. What McCain did was issue a challenge – he threw out someone virtually untouched by any investigative reporting whatsoever…
McCain Is McCain Is McCain
The major theme I got last night from watching the GOP convention is that John McCain has fought a lot with Republicans during his career, and should therefore be elected President. The other major theme I got was that Barack Obama has fought a lot with Republicans during his career,…
Other than the crab-bear fights
It’s a little early for a callback, but damn: Carney and Scherer noted to McCain that the Iraqi government is calling for a deadline for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq even though McCain’s previously stated definition of “victory” – “a peaceful, stable, prosperous democratic state” – has not been…
McCain’s pick: pretty clever
The pick of Sarah Palin as McCain’s running mate tells me that reproductive rights are a massive issue for him. I’ve been saying from the get-go that McCain has been screwed insofar as he has to appear strongly anti-woman for the base, but pro-woman for the low information swing voters.…
