We've Been Silent On McCain-Paris-Britney Too Long!
DownWithTyranny! —
Mother and child Even though Bush personally nixed plans to have Britney Spears play the Republican Convention in NYC in 2004, the trashy, drug addicted and dysfunctional McComb, Mississippi/Kentwood, Louisiana dancer and singer, is as famous for endorsing him (as well as Pepsi and a fragrances called ...

David Gergen Plays Race Card in Defense of Obama
Moonbattery —
David Gergen, who has long managed to get his mug on television by serving as an obedient tool of the liberal establishment, has come rushing to play the race card in defense of his megalomaniacally narcissistic savior, the Obamessiah.
This McCain ad really hit the mark, causing Gergen to sputter in outrage: ...
Joke 'Em If They Can't Take A...

Well, it appears that the John McCain campaign -- among others -- have discovered Barack Obama's secret weakness, his Achilles heel, his kryptonite. And it's one I've discussed before: The man seems to have no sense of humor. As trivial as that sounds, it holds a great deal of weight with the American people. And, I believe, it is a key element of character, and indicates a great deal about a person. And Obama doesn't seem to have much of a sense of humor. That is finally being seen as the weakness it is. His opponents have begun to realize that the best way to highlight Obama's weaknesses is through gentle humor, chiding, playful mockery. Not hard, ...

As reported in The Wall Street Journal and Time , some Obama partisans are trying to assert that the McCain ad mocking Barack's egomaniacal tendencies is somehow suggesting that he's the antichrist. Amy Sullivan at Time compares the ad to the 1988 Willie Horton commercial (forgetting, apparently, that it was Al Gore who first raised Horton as a critique of Dukakis). But how silly is this? How thin-skinned and desperate must some of Barack's supporters be to claim that John McCain is essentially speaking in code to warn against Barack as Satan? Look at the evidence: Well, the type style in the ad's text resembles that ...
USING RIDICULE AS A WEAPON COULD BACKFIRE ON McCAIN
Right Wing Nut House —
It was just a few short months ago that Jon Stewart on the Daily Show had to tell his audience it was okay to laugh after he made a mild witticism directed toward Barack Obama about his switch on campaign financing. It was at that point that a few of us wondered if the comics and writers who shape much of the national conversation would ever be able to lay a glove on the Illinois senator or whether his race gave him a cloak of immunity, shielding him from the barbs and bon mots of the late night comedy crowd and Comedy Central gang.
We needn’t have worried. It turns out the comedy writers were actually desperate for ...
Steven G. Brant: From "The One" To "That One": John McCain And (Not) Reaching Across Party Lines
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
Senator McCain likes to claim he will be a bipartisan leader. He likes to claim he will get things done once elected president, because he knows how to reach across party lines.
He may say this, but does Senator McCain "Walk the talk"? Does he really know how to reach across party lines?
No. He does not.
In tonight's presidential debate, Senator McCain failed big time in that most basic principle of bipartisan leadership: attributing inherent worth to his equal from the opposite side of the political spectrum.
Yes, I know that Senator McCain is behind Senator Obama in the polls. I know he needs ...
