Rock on, Rachel!

One of my favorite Air Americans, Rachel Maddow, is getting her own show on MSNBC after Keith Olbermann.

If you are looking for a cohost with more bite than bark, I'm there!

And for your viewing pleasure, here's Rachel Maddow making Rethug Joe Scarborough walk off the set with the anger. Because she has FACTS. And girl cooties!

A good 'un

This is a good ad, eh? (Not from the Obama campaign but from the series of YouTubes):

But, but, Iraq's different!



Criticizing Russia, McCain sez: "In the 21st century, nations don't invade other nations."

ORLY!

Someone needs his irony chip installed.

LOL!

I know I already exceeded my Bush Joke quotient for today but he's really being a jackass at the Olympics so I wanted to share with you a bit of genius--LOLBush from The Guardian!


Yes, John McCain, what we need right now is NOT someone who is popular and can improve America's image in the world. How else will the rest of the world continue to laugh (and shake their fists) at us?

U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

Call off the election! According to our President, America has no problems.

From Shakesville, can you find the war criminals in this photo?

Even the Cats are Barking

I hereby suspend the cat/dog animus until November so that we can get these naked apes back on track:

The Whiff of Deperation


The latest anti-Obama argument comes to us from the journalistic minds of the Wall Street Journal: He's too skinny!

But in a nation in which 66% of the voting-age population is overweight and 32% is obese, could Sen. Obama's skinniness be a liability? Despite his visits to waffle houses, ice-cream parlors and greasy-spoon diners around the country, his slim physique just might have some Americans wondering whether he is truly like them.

We all want someone just like us! Like a Yale-educated cheerleader born to a wealthy Maine family with political connections? Or a Navy brat married to a multi-millionaire beer baron's daughter?? I sense this is a pre-emptive strikes against what will most certainly be an unflattering visual from the debates (ala Dukakis/Bush).

I do have to agree, however, with this sentiment by the wise political pundit, Sasha Obama:


During a July family appearance on "Access Hollywood," Sen. Obama's 7-year-old daughter, Sasha, revealed that her dad doesn't like ice cream or sweets. "Everybody should like ice cream," she said.

Anti-Obama arguments they will be making soon regarding the ways that He Is Not Like Us:

1) Too gosh darned smart.
2) His feet are larger than average.
3) He's never been arrested!
4) His family appears to like him.
5) Neither he, nor his father, vomited on the Japanese Prime Minister or any world leader.
6) He showers regularly.

One of us! One of us! One of us!

Friday Funny!



New York Governor David Patterson answers who he thinks would help McSame win New York: "a resurrection."

Lie Back and Enjoy It!

Elder Statesman Joe Lieberman had a lovely comment about the OMG! ObamaispopularlikeParisHilton ad:

"To some extent the appearance of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears -- people complain about it -- they should just relax and enjoy it,"

Nice one, Joe! I seem to remember another McCain supporter saying something similar:

At a press conference in Arlington, Virginia, CNN’s Dana Bash asked McCain why his staff had even scheduled a fundraiser with Williams, who in 1990 joked that rape was like bad weather: “As long as it’s inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it.”

Rape--always funny guys! That McSame, nothin' but the classiest dudes supporting him!

I believe I have figured out the meaning of the McSame ad which seems to suggest that Obama has something in common with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. This shout out to Britney, coupled with McSame's bafflement about Viagra vs. birth control, is all an elaborate signaling system. He is not trying to run to be President, he is angling to be BOB DOLE. After a failed Presidential campaign he will continue on to a lucrative career endorsing erectile dysfunction drugs. Does everyone remember this gem?



I highly approve of this career move, Senator McSame and I look forward to fast-forwarding through your Viagra ads on my TiVo!

P.S. Britney, you can do better. It is as true of McLame as it was of Kevin.
