Barack Rolled

Miss Amy sent me this clip, and I find it both disturbing and hilarious (my favorite combo). I can't stop watching it, so I thought I'd share it with my potatoes. I love the McCain reaction shots. A little pitchy, dawg, but I think the fans will keep you around for another week (or four more years).

Wiig as Hasselcoulter

SNL was out of control hilarious this week. They FINALLY did a spoof of THE VIEW. Kenan Thompson's Whoopi Goldberg was respectful yet crazy. His grandma look is priceless! He is a genius. It's alarming that Fred Armisen does a better imitation of Joy Behar than he does of Obama. And, only Kristin Wiig could capture Hasselcoulter's desperation at trying to get actual smart people to listen to her unverified Internet facts and her daily phone call tips from Sean Hannity. Girlchild, please! Ben Affleck was in like every sketch, and even for Ben Affleck he was pretty good. Does he have a movie coming out? Does he still have a career?

The other kinda funny sketch on the show was Ben Affleck as Keith Olbermann. It was way too long, but they got a couple of Grade A zingers in at Mr. Pompous Oblemann. Here's an excerpted preview. I think you can click on the clip to see the full-length clip and all the clips from last night's show on HULU. (Yay, HULU!)

And, then there was John McCain who appeared on the show twice. I swear to g-d it almost seems as if he wants to lose this election. I refer you to HULU.com or NBC.com from the lengthy clips, but he did NOT do himself ANY favors by being on SNL last night. He even got booed at one point.

Another Day, Another Hilarious Sarah W. Palin Video Spoof

Frances McDormand as Sheriff Marge Gunderson in FARGO interviews Governor Palin. It's hilarious! You betcha! [wink.] Speaking of which, Sheriff Marge Gunderson has more foreign policy experience than Sarah W. Palin (and Sheriff Marge is a fictional character). I would love to see Bonnie Hunt interview Palin too.

John McCain is "The Vet Who Did Not Vet: A Cautionary Tale" also starring Sarah W. Palin

You don't always get what you should get when you don't vet. For those of you who are still confused and baffled by John McCain's selection of Sarah "Who?" Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate at a time of great crisis in our country. It seems like McCain is thumbing his nose at America. Here's a video clip to help you understand it all.

Happy Friday

McCain is Miers, Not Palin!

Uh oh. It's not Palin who's Harriet Miers in this case, it's McCAIN! McCain was the bait-and-switch bait all along. The GOP probably KNOWS for a fact that he has a terminal disease and won't live past January. Sarah Palin is a female clone of George W. Bush. She is identical in every way. She's a beer swilling, inexperienced LIAR who, like W., will have no trouble feeding the American people another 4 years of horsesh!t brought to you by the Republican Party (a wholely own subsidiery of the Bank of Wachovia JP Morgan Chase WaMu of America Bank and ExxonMobil). McCain is a dried up piece of toast. How's he going to carry the G.O.P. torch to burn the rest of America to the ground like W. and Cheney have been doing. I'll bet anyone $750 Billion dollars that IF McCain and Sarah W. Palin win in November either because of dumbasses in Florida or voting fraud in Ohio, that McCain will be in the ground by Innauguration Day and Cheney (now on his 12th baboon heart) will be named as her VP. Welcome to the next 8 years of your life. Any Canadians reading this: I'm single, have all my teeth, no diseases, and a dowry of a worthless house in a worthless nation. Marry me! Watch this clip from THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW (which I don't watch because she took away my Dan Abrams) where she (finally) calls out Palin on her bald-face straight-up lies. She sounds JUST like W. proudly lying to the American people about why we had to go to war with Iraq.

Stuttering John

Does anyone know what the hell John McCain was talking about during the debate. His constant stuttering is making me dizzy. Obama seems much more well-spoken and factually accurate. McCain is all over the place. His jumpiness makes me uneasy. Also, he is NOT my friend.

Palin's Ties to Domestic Terrorism and Her Witchdoctor

Though Keith Olbermann is a misogynistic gasbag, I still respect his ability to make a 10 minute "Special Comment" that is unlike anything else on TV. He really is a throw-back to the "old days" of journalism where people really went after a story. Sadly, these days, those people are called commentators and the Bush-fed rubber-stamp media whores are called journalists. Sarah Palin must be out of her mind to directly associate herself with people who assert that Barack Obama is "pallin' around" with terrorists when Mr. & Mrs. Palin have been "pallin' around with terrorists for years and as recently as last year. When Keith is right, he's really right. This is worth a watch and a forward to your friends.

Remember Last Week

Remember last week when I said that folks should really be looking at John McCain's involvement in the Keating Five scandal? Well, folks are looking.

The Bush MESS

First George Bush and Dick Cheney masterminded 9/11 to scare the country into doing exactly what they wanted to do for years to come. The press caved to the Bush/Cheney post-9/11 patriotism. Citizens cowered in their duct-taped homes fearing nuclear fallout. Bush and Cheney stripped the Constitution of its teeth with the unconscionable Patriot Act. Despite huge protests in the streets by hundreds of thousands of citizens, Bush lied us into the Iraq war to scare the country into narrowly re-electing him in 2004 (with the help of the Diebold Corporation). Bush took a very narrow margin (and a loss of Congress) as a sign from God to forge ahead blindly and recklessly with his evil plan to line the pockets of his supporters at the expense of the American people. In 2000 George Bush and Dick Cheney inherited the Very United States of America: a force to be reckoned with around the globe in so many areas like science and finance and manufacturing and humanity and the arts. If we make it to January 2009, they will leave their successor the Disjointed and Disheveled States of America, a country in utter shambles. We're the laughing stock of the world --who now owns us-- and we're going down in flames. For months, I've been waiting for the Republican Regime's next "trick" to keep the country in their greedy hands. Looks like this is it. George Bush and Dick Cheney are SELLING THE COUNTRY right out from under you.

Tina Fey KILLS Sarah Palin

Poor John McCain and his failing judgment. I understand his desperation in picking a female running mate, and having slim pickings among the Republican Robot factory. Choosing a Vice Presidential running mate with no experience was a bad enough decision, but picking a Vice Presidential running mate with no experience who looks like Tina Fey, the funniest woman currently living on the planet, was a REALLY bad decision.

Fey KILLED it! Granted, it's almost like shooting fish in a barrel these days. But, only Fey could deliver Palin's actual words and make them funnier. God bless and keep Tina Fey safe from witchcraft until the election when she can do one final swan song as losing Vice Presidential candidate and historical joke/footnote Sarah Palin.

Palin Still Hiding From The Media (With Good Reason)

I love Jack Cafferty. He was a news anchor when I lived in NYC. He's always been a cranky old bastard in the BEST sense of that word. I love his daily segments on Wolf Blitzer's crazy-assed show on CNN. From Towleroad (which you should be reading EVERY day!) Cafferty: "I'm 65 and have been covering politics for a long time. That is one of the most pathetic pieces of tape I have ever seen for someone aspiring to one of the highest offices in this country."

The Sarah Palin Story As A "Bad" Disney Movie

Happy Freaky Friday. If Thursday was any indication, ANYTHING is possible today. All I know is that if John McCain weasels his way out of the debate Friday night, he is a spineless old fool whose campaign deserves to go down in flames along with his reputation. If the American people (via the Electoral College or Diebold Voting Machine Fraud) elect John McCain President with that vapid Barbie Palin as his VP, I'm moving to Denmark and becoming a heroin addict on November 5th. Matt Damon recently said, "It's like a really bad Disney movie, The Hockey Mom. 'Oh, I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska', and she's president!?!" Damon continues, "She's facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It's absurd." Though, I personally don't think there's such a thing as a bad Disney movie (I know! I know!) here's one we're all about to live through. It would be funnier if it was so damn true and scary.

Sarah Palin: Talking In Circles

Well, her all-night study sessions about global politics and speaking to the press are really paying off! Seriously, if this worthless ploy ever becomes President, I am SO moving to ANY other country than America.

McCain Lies Again

David Letterman was understandably upset when John McCain pussied out of his appearance on the LATE SHOW, and --according to Letterman-- LIED about having to go immediately back to D.C. to "deal with the financial crisis"/duck out of the debates. McCain spent last night in DC and only returned to D.C. this morning after going on CBS Evening news (while the Letterman show was taping) and speaking at another engagement this morning. Dave spent at least 40 minutes of his show raking McCain and Palin over the coals with the help of his last-minute replacement guest, Keith "I'm Sexist but Still Hate Republicans" Olberman. It was delightfully entertaining as well as very informative. David Letterman did briefly explain why he was a fan of the "straight talking" McCain and why he has the utmost respect for the Senator and national hero, but that now, "...something smells in that campaign." I can smell it from here.

Headlines from 1989: McCain Helped Ignite Nation's Worst Financial Crisis (Before This One)

It's definitely time to remind everyone who forgot about The Keating Five. The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The five senators, Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), Donald W. Riegle (D-MI), and John McCain (R-AZ), were accused of improperly aiding Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of an investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB). It was political "buddies" helping a corporate swindler swindle Americans out of their entire life savings. Like Lehman Brothers has done recently, Lincoln Savings and Loan (Keating's bank) ignited the avalanche of S&L failures in the late 80's and early 90's. The ultimate cost of the Savings and Loan Crisis was estimated to have totaled around $160 billion, about $125 billion of which was directly paid for by the U.S. taxpayer. Sound familiar?

The Right Is Nothing If Not Organized

PBS is doing a poll which asks if Sarah Palin is qualified to be VP (a heartbeat away from the Presidency of The United States Of America). The right wing nut jobs have organized a yes campaign which is --at the moment-- winning. Please take 1 minute and go to:

An Avalanche Of Lies: Who Will Dig The Country Out?

It would appear that after 7 years of cowering in George Bush's shadow of terror, fear, and control the press are in fact finally starting to "grow a pair" as Amy Pohler as Hillary Clinton admonished them to. Here's a clip of Chris Matthews actually playing hardball with a guest on HARDBALL. Charlie Gibson, you should perk up and take notes on this.

And CNN "fact checked" the McCain/Palin ads and claims so far and found many, many, many examples of half-truths, mis-statements, and outright lies. Where was THIS kind of reporting before we got royally screwed by the baseless, pointless, and costly Iraq war?
