What Was McCain Thinking When He Decided On Palin?
DownWithTyranny! —
McCain certainly had his heart set on Lieberman as a running mate but the religionist powers inside the shrinking tent said they'd walk if he dared. He was too much of a coward, and too driven to get his hands on the White House, to call their bluff. It was then that the Secret Service went out and started guarding Pawlenty and his family. But at the last minute, McCain made history instead: he chose the least qualified, least prepared person in the history of American politics to run as vice president for the man most likely to die before he finishes his term than anyone else ever running for president; yes, ...
Excuse me, Senator McCain, but the nomination isn't for auditioning your next wife
Brilliant at Breakfast —
Jed again: Talk about pictures being worth a thousand words. Note how Palin doesn't want to get too close to Old Granddad. Note how he keeps sneaking peeks at her chest. Note also how he plays with his wedding ring through the whole thing, while Cindy gazes on in the ...

According to Hestel Stout, a white contractor working on Clark's house, the parish official who delivered one of ...

I’m no body language expert, but I think when an old man known for his indiscretions stares fixedly at a woman’s butt and starts fiddling with his wedding ring, everybody’s cards are pretty much on the table.
Wednesday Mostly Palin Bashing

There was just too much to wait for Friday.
Can’t she quit the ticket already? Then I could get back to bashing McCain….

Evan Eisenberg: Lipstick on Doggerel
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
I wrote this bit of doggerel a while ago but only just got around to making it hyperdoggerel by equipping the stanza numbers with links. (Warning: VI and XVII may autostart.)

From Nowhere hangs
