The October Surprise.

refer=home
Oct. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Last night's vice presidential debate between Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and U.S. Senator Joe Biden tied for the second-most watched in history, drawing almost 70 million viewers, Nielsen Co. reported.
The audience topped the 52.4 million people who watched the first presidential debate between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama, which occurred on a Friday night. It also exceeded the number who tuned in for the vice-presidential debate four years ago and in 1984, when Geraldine Ferraro debated then Vice President George H.W. Bush.
Last night's match-up drew intense interest mainly because of Palin, who was an unknown politician to many Americans before McCain chose her as his running mate on Aug. 29. The forum attracted 45 percent of households in the top markets compared with 31.6 percent for the first presidential debate on Sept. 26 between McCain and Obama, Nielsen said.
Viewership equaled the total who watched the first President Bush debate Democrat Bill Clinton and independent candidate H. Ross Perot in 1992. The record for a presidential debate is the 80.6 million people who saw President Jimmy Carter take on Republican challenger Ronald Reagan in 1980.
Of 55 television markets where Nielsen uses electronic monitors, Baltimore produced the highest household rating, 59.1, and Los Angeles had the lowest, 34.4, the media-measurement company said today. Each rating point represents 1 percent of the total TV audience in a given market.
I don't get this idea that caribou barbie is going to be a major player in the future of the repugs.
if that's true they have none
Palin is more likely to lose the governorship than win the presidency
drugs aren't all they're cracked up to be.

i can't imagine what metrics he is using.
I don't get this idea that caribou barbie is going to be a major player in the future of the repugs.
She saved McCain's campaign once already. If she somehow can get enough people to vote for her, she will have been key to the future of the Republican Party.

Boy, is that a low standard.
No lower than the one set for her at the debate.
Note: I use the word "debate" in a very loose fashion here.

Another reason not to trust Palin: I just saw her signature on her website. It reeks of grifter.
macacawitz - can i take a mildly religious friend to see religulous?
Absolutely. The movie plays like a documentary with some light comic intervals. At no point does Maher drag his argument against faith into the gutter. He asks valid questions of "believers" and allows them to deliver the punch lines. It's not "Borat" by any means.

This country is about to go seismically left.
Watch.
Two hours ago I'm in an Ace Hardware store. The owner is really upset. He's cutting me some spare keys, and I can't help but notice how down he is. The economy, he says. We have to close a store on Halsted. Everything costs so much more. Maybe the oil? I say, it's adding so much to the transport costs? It's the damn war, he says. We never should have started it.
Now, when you get hardware store owners talking like that, the country's moving.

Hail Mary vs. Cool Barry
By Charles Krauthammer
http://
www.realclearpolitics.com...agan_thres.html
He's been moderate in policy and temper ever since. His one goal: Pass the Reagan '80 threshold. Be acceptable, be cool, be reassuring.
Part of reassurance is intellectual. Like Palin, he's a rookie, but in his 19 months on the national stage he has achieved fluency in areas in which he has no experience. In the foreign policy debate with McCain, as in his July news conference with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Obama held his own -- fluid, familiar, and therefore plausibly presidential.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. famously said of Franklin Roosevelt that he had a "second-class intellect, but a first-class temperament." Obama has shown that he is a man of limited experience, questionable convictions, deeply troubling associations (Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Tony Rezko) and an alarming lack of self- definition -- do you really know who he is and what he believes? Nonetheless, he's got both a first-class intellect and a first-class temperament. That will likely be enough to make him president.

Tkink about it. McCain cannot get 25 percent of the national vote. She has given him another 20 percent. I don't think that mittens or lieberman could do that. With out palin, the GOP is dead for a very long time. Palin injects youth and more brain dead women into their cult.

fact checkers don't understand biden's point on mccains troop funding vote.
when biden said mccain voted the exact same way, of course, he was responding to the charge that obama voted against funding the troops. he meant that mccain also voted against funding for political reasons, that neither one was actually trying to deny troops but to make a political statement on withdrawl timelines.
it isn't that hard.
When T. Boone Pickens, one of the richest market capitalists in US history, continually buys ad time telling me we now have to get the gummint to help us get out of this energy mess, what am I supposed to think?
When WaMu runs ads on sports radio saying that it is now part of JPMorgan and that all its assets -- and your monies with them -- are safe and secure, it's time to think seriously about the silent run on the banks.
"McCain cannot get 25 percent of the national vote. She has given him another 20 percent. I don't think that mittens or lieberman could do that."
are you really saying that without Palin McCain would have lost 75-25 or worse?

"Is Sarah Palin Stuck At The Kiddie Table?
Hey, remember when McCain said he asked Palin for foreign policy advice "many times"? (I know, why would a foreign policy genius like John McCain ever need advice, right?) Does he rely on her sage counsel for campaign matters as well?
Eh, not so much...
An odd moment on Fox News: Sarah Palin appears to say that she heard about her campaign's decision to pull out of Michigan only today, despite it being reported far and wide across our great land yesterday. She seems to suggest she heard about it from the newspapers...
"Well, that's not a surprise because, you know, the polls are showing we're not doing as well there evidently as we would like to," Palin said. "But I read that this morning also. I fired off a quick email and said `Oh, come on, you know, do we have to? Do we have to call it there?' ""

Funny how they're totally non-aware of that aspect of their praise of her.
Including in my family. I don't even want to think about some of the e-mails. Yuck.

WOW, i would have bet that maher would tear up any priest about the child molestation that went on for years. that's very interesting.
TEBB, beat McShame
Not to give the movie away, but he does mention sexual molestation early in the movie, then leaves it alone. He does one scene in Vatican City with a priest he interviews on the street that's absolutely priceless. Probably the best scene in the movie. To paraphrase, the priest pretty much agrees that all the dogma is bullshit, but it's our way of life, it seems to work, so why change things.

Maher was on Fresh Air with Terry Gross a day or two ago.
His mother was Jewish, his father Catholic. I don't think he's all that anti-Catholic (or anti-Jewish.) He's anti-fundie. He's anti-irrationality. He's, as near as I can tell, an honest agnostic.
His argument is that organized religion, despite the good it has done, has done much more bad. I don't quite agree with him, but you have to admit that some awful things have been done, ostensibly in the name of a deity.
These atrocities might well have been committed without a supernatural motive or justification, but for some people, "God's will" was all the push they needed to slaughter other people.
Consider him the Devil and you'll be halfway there.

Is Sarah Palin Stuck At The Kiddie Table?
Shit, the damn presidential candidate is repeatedly denounced by the campaign as not representing it.
Sarah's at the table with John while the lobbyist puppetmasters scheme.

Hey, HBK- what's with the grandkid watch? Is he/she here yet?
From Wikipedia:
"Krauthammer is generally considered a conservative. However, on domestic issues, Krauthammer is a supporter of legalized abortion; an opponent of the death penalty; an intelligent design critic and an advocate for the scientific consensus on evolution, calling the religion-science controversy a "false conflict;", a supporter of embryonic stem cell research (involving embryos discarded by fertility clinics); and a longtime advocate of radically higher energy taxes to induce conservation."
smalfish - whatever happened with the rat? is it dead now?
hi fokowi...
I don't think he's all that anti-Catholic (or anti-Jewish.) He's anti-fundie.
That's what you get from the movie. He pretty much leaves "mainstream" religion alone.
AtDH's dark secret: I can't get more Duck Pit space, so I'm shoving them into fourlegs' yard for RSttS seats.
Plenty wrong with Krauthammer's politics. Nothing wrong with his brain.
"This country is about to go seismically left."
only to the people who consider obama a dangerous liberal
moderately left at best - the wobblies will not get their program and the ceos will still make boodle, but we might get better roads and schools and a little bit better health care
for some people, "God's will" was all the push they needed to slaughter other people.
cf. George W. Bush.
"ABC: Palin lied last night about supporting divestiture from Sudan
...Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin fought to protest atrocities in Sudan by dropping assets tied to the country's brutal regime from the state's multi-billion-dollar investment fund, she claimed during Thursday's vice presidential debate.
Not quite, according to a review of the public record and according to the recollections of a legislator and others who pushed a measure to divest Alaskan holdings in Sudan-linked investments.
"The [Palin] administration killed our bill," said Alaska state representative Les Gara, D-Anchorage....
"I walked out of that hearing livid," Gara recalled of the February meeting. Because of the Palin administration's opposition to the bill, "We could not get a vote in that committee," he explained. At no point did Palin come out in support of the effort, Gara said.
I guess by "barracuda" they meant "liar." " http://www.americablog.com/2008/...ight-

The best part is his "Worst Person" segment. The "Worst Person" commentary will make you cry, it's so funny.

Here's the thing. People who know Obama best describe him as seriously pragmatic. He ain't all that liberal.
On the other hand, if the country moves where I think it's going--well to the left of where it was in 1935--Barack ain't gonna go all Clinton on us.
He wants to do the best he can for the country. And if that means following the citizens' moving to the progressive side of the street, why that's where he'll go.
He may not be all that liberal, but he damn sure ain't conservative.
Ironically the nomination of Sarah Palin may prove the Republicans may be right about something. That affirmative action puts sometimes puts unqualified people into jobs they have no business being in.

No, Blodge, I think Obama's election will give the American polity permission to think in more progressive terms politically. Obama may not a lefty, but if he can craft policies that actually help people find community, different and more hopeful avenues of political action may open up. Bernie Sanders might get mainstreamed.

From a review of "An American Carol", the new wingnut film which "parodies" Michael Moore...
The cream of conservative Hollywood turns up in small roles, from Dennis Hopper as a judge (yes, I know) to Leslie Nielsen as the foxy grandpa narrating the tale, and you sense it’s a relief for some of them to come out of the closet. I can’t imagine what’s going through David Alan Grier’s head, though: He’s playing a slave in a fantasy modern-day America that never fought the Civil War (because if Malone had had his way, Lincoln would have been a pacifist like Neville Chamberlain).
Jesus Christ.

I wish to withdraw my comment made a couple of times about Palin that she seems like a Sears kitchen appliance salesperson.
However called her a Vegas cocktail waitress earlier today has correctly apprehended her essence.

Everything about the Palin nomination has been off-key.
After McCain blathered about experience forever, she has none. After the whole Huckabee fiasco, with most Repubs saying no crazed Christians, she's a crazed Christian. And they were so hoping for Hillary and hoping they could shriek about Affirmative Action Woman forever, now they can't.
They are so fucking doomed.

Sarah Palin represents everything I despise about this country at the moment. Seemingly proud of her willful ignorance, expertly duplicitous, cold and calculating and potentially violent.

More on "American Carol":
The Scrooge in “An American Carol” is Michael Malone (Kevin Farley, a ringer for his late comedian brother Chris), a slobbo, baseball-cap-wearing documentary filmmaker whose most recent work is “Die, You American Pig,” and whose mantra is “I love America. That’s why I want to destroy it.”
On the eve of a rally to abolish the Fourth of July (really?), Malone is visited by the spirit of JFK--
HO-kay... that's MORE than enough, thank you!

Errr, sexual attraction to Sarah Palin is the black hole created by that there European super collider/doom machine. Fucking Europeans. All in all I'd rather fuck Jacques Chirac.
In an interview with the Denver Post yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) attempted to explain why he voted for the Wall Street bailout, despite previously saying that a bill that included earmarks would be “unacceptable.” McCain remarked, “I talk to…economists that have said, ‘Look, you don’t understand how serious — ’” before cutting himself off. Seeming to realize that he was once again admitting he doesn’t understand the economy, McCain corrected himself saying, “I mean, ‘We have to understand how serious this is.’”

the sad thing is that he could just admit that he "just doesn't get it" and get a lot more respect that way. but obstinately trying to pretend that he does, when he clearly doesn't, makes him get damaged far more than if he'd just admit it, say that he's going to get the brightest economic minds together, including Krugman (and other left-thinking folks), and help return America to its former stature.
but it's myth before country for this ass.

Then we perhaps need to lay groundwork to enable them to refuse the bogus results...
Now this is interesting, what with the Puma conversations here:
Non-college-educated white women split virtually evenly, 46%-45% for McCain. By contrast, Obama remains weak among white men. That group supports McCain 57%-36% overall, and non-college-educated white men back the Republican ticket by an even greater margin, 63%-27%.

So it turns out that if you have two choices and one of them is to tell Detroit: "Those jobs aren't coming back," and the other is to tell Detroit: "We will help you retool to build hybrids and light rail and American workers can build those things better than Chinese workers or German workers, Yeaaarghh!" the latter option might be a better bet and might prevent you from having to concede the state several months later. Or, you can go with "You can't do it, my friends."

You know what pisses me off most of all out of the recent news? Cadbury - who charges plenty for their wares - is making their shit in China! Why?
I am so tired of this shit. I thought that Cadbury Chocolate was made in the UK.
Damn! I will never buy anything made by them again. I promise.
People I would never imagine would ever vote for a black Democrat are suddenly talking about what a crapfest McCain/Palin is. Am I alone in this?

That maverick shit is very rusty and exactly what we don't need a lot of right now.
Okay, I get that I might be fooling myself, but the evidence is that people are really sick of this shit. Do you experience different in your neighborhood or town?
again, it's anecdotal, but in the neighborhoods i drive through (West Houston, mostly, largely hispanified but with some hold-out legacies, and an upper middle-class thoroughfare into downtown houston), I see far more Obama yard signs and bumper stickers than I do McCain. and all the letters to the editor in the Chronicle this morning were very critical of McCain and Palin. But, it's hard to gauge in Houston, because we're all still a little cracked out from Ike. But speaking out against Republicans whilst eating lunch or dinner out doesn't require hushed voices anymore...
Coq au Palin?
Evening, all. IN case you missed it, Conason is a must-read tonight.
We should be very worried the democrats are saying nothing about the voter problems going on across the land.
The Obama campaign hit the foreclosure disenfranchisement gambit in Mich pretty hard, and I've read that they've got a lot of boots heading for Florida. I think they're on it, but maybe flying low so as not to distract from the final run up of campaigning.
I sure as hell hope so, anyway.

Wait, is he on live? Why does he get all the news appearances? Is there not supposed to be equal time?

I live in ridiculously purple Wisconsin, which almost gave Bush another nod in 2004, and here, everyone I talk to is really, really sick of him and his party. The problem isn't Obama or the American people. The problem is the jackasses on the national scene pretending this is some close, carefully divided election.

I was just at an Obama fundraiser, songwriter's show. Amazing show. The DNC advance team is in Nashville to prepare for the debates and one of their guys, who happens to be a singer and actor and knows one of the songwriters, sang on one of the numbers. Amazing voice. Wish I could remember his name.
Much money was raised for Obama!

That's what this Conason column is about.
"The dumbing down of the GOP"
"And why don't we expect more from American conservatives? Indeed, why don't they demand more from their own movement? Aren't they disgusted that their party would again nominate a person devoid of qualifications for one of the nation's highest offices? Some, like Michael Gerson and Kathleen Parker, have expressed discomfort with this farce -- and been subjected, in Parker's case, to abuse from many of the same numbskulls whom Palin undoubtedly delights.
"The ultimate irony of Palin's rise is that it has occurred at a moment when Americans may finally have grown weary of pseudo-populism -- when intelligence, judgment, diligence and seriousness are once again valued, simply because we are in such deep trouble. We got into this mess because we elected a man who professed to despise elitism, which he detected in everyone whose opinions differed from his prejudices. That was George W. Bush, of course. Biden was too polite and restrained to say it, but the dumbing down is more of the same, too"
Evening, all. IN case you missed it, Conason is a must-read tonight.
Southern Beale | Homepage | 10.03.08 - 10:41 pm |
That is good. I especially like this part.
As Biden showed quite convincingly when he spoke about his modest background and his continuing connection with Main Street, perceptive, intelligent discourse is in no way identical with elitism. Palin's phony populism is as insulting to working- and middle-class Americans as it is to American women. Why are basic diction and intellectual coherence presumed to be out of reach for "real people"?

Bill Frist on Sarah Palin:
" 1. She came across to the viewer as genuine, confident, optimistic, and the person “who is most like me.” 2. She represented herself well and her performance erased all the talk about the Couric interview. 3. She is clearly a reformer who can shake things up; fits with the McCain maverick reality. 4. She reflected, in contrast to Joe Biden, a patriotic, heart-felt optimism and “up-beat” attitude about the great, free country we live in – she truly believes the special role our country plays on the global stage."

McCain has a big advantage with white guys. Consider this: that advantage is about 80-20 in places like NE, SD, KS, OK. And what do all those rural farm states lack? Women who will knock some sense into the men.
"Why are you folks so intimidated by Sarah Palin?"
That's the kind of shit that makes me want to put a brick to my own head repeatedly. It's like we're speaking completely different languages.
It's all about turning the conversation to advantageous terms. By redefining disgust as fear, they hope to force one into a position where one cannot say anything negative.
The answer is to put a brick to their heads, not yours, as in, "no, mofo, she's not intimidating. She's a simpleton, and if the Repugs think she'd make a great President, they have absolutely no respect for the American public."
Or something like that....

Hecate, I ask you: Are you afraid of Sarah Palin? Do you think this duo is winning?
Leave McCain aloooone! He helped win a war with his valuable intelligence. Course he was helping the North Vietnamese, but that's just a stupid fact.
Why are you folks so intimidated by Sarah Palin?
She might give us all sled dog names.
Which explains why she discussed Darfur with such passion...oh, wait.

I had that explained to me tonight by my racist mother-in-law. The problem there is that the black people there killed all of the white people who used to run the farms and now they don't know how to do it any more. That and they have too many children cause they can't stop having babies because black people have no self-control.

I loved Biden on the Maverick thing. I really wish Biden would have also answered that BS about mcsame palin not being about Bush, by saying you can try to hide that you are republicans, you can try and run from your history of deregulation, and borrow and spend, but it will be as effective as not inviting your sitting president to your convention. It is a transparent attempt to rewrite history and your bankrupt policies. You can run, but you cant hide.
And not that new fangled Christy stuff either.

Nah, it's faith.
They want to believe that they're winning, so they try to convince themselves of all sorts of ridiculous shit, like the idea that Sarah Palin is competent. They believe it because they can't stand to think about the implications of its not being true; that would force them to introspect a little bit, and then you've taken the lid off Pandora's box, and before you know it it's all one big gay orgy.

Functionally, them are Ben-Wa balls.
You know what kind of sucks about this exceptionalism stuff, especially given the semi reverent purloining of John Winthrop's sentiments, is that Winthrop was calling his band to be =worthy= of being a beacon before mankind. He was calling upon them to hew to the call of the sermon on the mount and care for each other so that their "light would shine before men". He was asking for unity and sacrifice in the face of enormous struggle.
He was not assuring his fellows they had secured the special favor of the Almighty in advance. He was, as a good Puritan, assuring his flock that if they did not care especially for each other, their enterprise would fail utterly before both God and in the eyes of men.
Grace alone was not enough for Winthrop and the Puritans. That's what made them revolutionary, and dangerous in their native land.
Can't he also claim original author credit for "goatfucking assmunch"?
I forgot that one. It's really good, too. And I like "a pox upon your house" for the more classically minded.
"I feel you are giving words too much power."
No disrespect back
but words do have power and a lot of it. that's how we communicate. that's how we share ideas.
those words are loaded with hate - and if they don't bother you maybe they should
Mayor Daley (Jr.) on Ayers:
The mayor released the following statement:
There are a lot of reasons that Americans are angry about Washington politics. And one more example is the way Senator Obama’s opponents are playing guilt-by-association, tarring him because he happens to know Bill Ayers.
I also know Bill Ayers. He worked with me in shaping our now nationally-renowned school reform program. He is a nationally-recognized distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois/Chicago and a valued member of the Chicago community.
I don’t condone what he did 40 years ago but I remember that period well. It was a difficult time, but those days are long over. I believe we have too many challenges in Chicago and our country to keep re-fighting 40 year old battles.
Would've been great if Biden (I mean "Obiden" - I mean "him") had corrected her, using the general's real name.

My run-in with the Weathermen: when I lived in New Haven in the mid 80s, the entire block was evacuated because the old garage behind my rental contained several hundred pounds of decomposing dynamite. The Weather Underground had supposedly stolen it from a construction site 20 years before. It would have taken out the whole block if it went off. I guess I can never be president because I lived in a Weathermen safe house.

Darrell Issa
now, see, if I were going to run for Congress, I would call a press conference, get up in front of the crowd, and say "I'm an asshole! Send me to Washington!"
Other people don't do that, even people like Darrell Issa who legitimately ARE assholes. That's why they get elected, and I don't.
Christaine Amanpour says Sarah Palin "has a pair that are made of brass."

Those of us with cunts do see it as used hatefully. No one means it as a compliment when they call someone a cunt. It's saying that you're bad because you're a woman, because you have a vagina. In the 60s, I had relatives in the south who said they didn't mean anything hateful by using the word "n_gg_r" But it hurt the people to whom it was applied and that should be enough to make anyone not use it.
Looks like the Ayers-Rezko-Wright triumvirate isn't going to pan out very well for the wingnut assholes.
Because nobody cares. Bushco and the Mccain campaign have placed the focus squarely on GOP failures, malfeasance, treason, stupidity, greed and hatred of America.

Because it's used with hate.
