this is only good news for Rudy Guliani!!!
Hello?
Can you see Russia from a Philadelphia pub?
Serious Bro-mentum!
sounds like something plantsman would do
Cast out the witchcraft!!!
Palin/Huckabee 12 !!!!!
I did'nt like that crack about Obama being the most "liberal" Senator;the word has effectively been perceived as "bad" by the ignorant sector of the public which mindlessly agreed to Newt Gingrichs' propaganda campaign.
Its time to reclaim that word like the Japanese rescued their high quality products from "Made in Japan"(bad) to"Made in Japan(not just good,but superb).
Putin is rearing his head at the bridge to nowhere!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sarah in a pub... I told ya guys that last night 
If I make peanut butter banana bread, is there any rule against throwing in a few chocolate chips as well?
the important question is, "with whom did she go home?"
...gosh i hate haloscan.
I figured she would be in the audience wearing a cheerleader outfit
Tanning machines in the Lincoln bedroom!!!!!!!!
I'm sure this all a plot of the MSM to deprive the American people of the chance to hear her. Or not.
Pub link broken, unless we want to read Ezra twice, of course.
Both links are Ezra. I CAN HAZ PHILLY LINK?
McCain and Obama went toe to toe, then Biden jumped in with both feet. Sarah Palin was the big loser because she has nothing to add to the discussion. McCain is flying without a wingman.
no rule against, GW. but we measure the genteel by their knowledge of how to add just the right amount.
I heard somewhere (NPR maybe) that McCain had to not act like a condescending dick to Obama. If so, he failed miserably.
help! I woke up in an evil parallel universe!
She was supposed to be at the Irish Pub at 20th and Walnut, from what I read earlier.
Which is sort of the like the Upper West Side of Philadelphia, full of musicians and other lefties. What on earth was she doing there?
sarah is not only a right wing whackjob she's totally 'unsmartly' about everything except
PRAISING THE HOLY BLOOD OF JESUS WHO DEMANDS TODD NAIL THE FINAL BABY BELUGA FROM A HELICOPTER
"Bible Spice" or "Air Space?"
I just can't seem to decide.

Do it.

Heh - I'm not genteel. I'm -decayed-....
who cares?
srsly, her couric interview showed how emtpy-headed and useless she is.

And now...STEVE'S MOVIE REVIEWS!!!
"Choke"
Really funny, I don't think I really need to think about Joel Grey as a sex addict.
"Nights in Rodanthe"
Richard Gere and Diane Lane need better agents.
"Eagle Eye"
"Colussus: The Forbin Project" remade as a crappy action picture. I want to marry (euphemism) Michelle Monaghan, however.
I am beginning to think that Palin agreed to be the Veep nominee without giving any thought to what was going to be required of such a position.

from the other thread:
here's some video of the Philly Palin protest. Can't see much. Honestly, I'm not sure I see the point and I think this kind of thing could be counterproductive by generating sympathy for the post turtle.

She basically told Charlie Gibson as much. "No hesitation," "no doubt."
That Paxman video is hilarious.
She heard the bartender there makes killer martoonies.

shit. that fucker aint gonna win.
Well, choice between talking about Sarah or go get a deep cleansing at the dentist on the right side of my mouth. I choose deep cleansing.
Senator, you were wrong!
Obama's people should demand split screen coverage for the next two. It kills McCain.

I'm sure Zombie Dale Evans hung the oatbag on him.
Palin's reality sank in; McCain did several stupid things on the economy in a very short time.

Thanks, P-man.
Stayed in wi-fi-free B&Bs; I was so unconnected to the Intertubes that I felt positively McCainesque.
The British (popular) press is under some kind of Palin spell. They think she's dishy.
I'm sure Palin just looked at this just like it is another beauty contest. Flash a smile, wiggle your ass, and you win.

McCain did plenty of blinking for the both of them.
Last night in the debate, McCain mentioned American companies sending jobs to Ireland due to their low business taxes. Perhaps Palin went to the Irish Pub to research their tax policies. I've been there a few times, and after a half dozen pints of Guiness, you can almost see Ireland. Or at least smell it.

They're interested in getting her to be a Page Three Girl.

Apologies for the repeat blogwhore, but over at Box Office, I sing the praises of an obscure horror film starring J Carroll Naish as a mad scientist who turns an ape into a human, thus anticipating the Bush presidency. No kidding.

simels, there's a simple rule in my life: if *i* like it, the majority won't. so it's probably a good thing that what i've read hasn't impressed me. i suspect he did a good job presenting as nonthreatening, more intelligent than the stereotype of a black man, and reassuringly centrist with them.

I need to remember that. b/c I just thought he did okay, not stellar.
oh grumble off to win the day's filthy lucre...grumble...grumble...
surely not The Guardian?
No. It's the tabloid, gutter, Murdoch "press."
Well maybe Palin is busy looking for Putin to rear his head over Alaska's air space.
It's hard work.
McCain doesn't know the difference between tactics and strategy:

Has she been on Page 6 yet?
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Barack Obama attracting 50% of the vote while John McCain earns 44%. This six-point advantage matches Obama’s biggest lead yet (see trends). Obama is now viewed favorably by 56% of voters, McCain by 54%.
TJ!
Life has been incredibly hectic lately. All in a good way!
I love the fact that McCain had to take Rudy Giuliani instead of Sarah Palin to the debates.
Sarah Palin didn't give a response to the debate... what a looser.
She was in Philly at a party? I wonder if she was drinking girly drinks and getting girl-drink drunk.
we miss your snark, wt!

I'd hit it.
Made some banana/pear bread this week and threw in some dried cranberries.
When it came out of the oven and cooled a tad, I spread a slab of the bread with homemade strawberry jam. WooHoo.

I'm starting to wonder if they're planning to substitute Rudy! when Palin withdraws b/c she's pregnant again, or whatever lame reason they come up with to justify her departure.

Also McBombBomb's stylist must be blind.
That tie was all wrong.
oh dear, the icky meat phallus is back. i must refresh...
TJ- i'm not worried about it at all. gas is still way too high for comfort, people are still freaking out about their jobs and health care and a tanking economy, no one thinks we're getting shit done in iraq...normally, under these conditions, the voters go for 'change.' i don't think anything is going to upset that formulation b/w now and nov. it's obama's to lose, and i don't think he's going to do anything that stupid. he wants it too badly (as anyone running should).

Aaaaaaaaggghhhhhh!
Good! We're having gorgeous early-fall weather and I'm loving it!
is this GOP Puppet Day on MSNBC or something?
I love the fact that McCain had to take Rudy Giuliani instead of Sarah Palin to the debates.
rudy does look pretty in a dress, you know. mebbe mccain's already tired of listening to her whine. "but Jonneeeeey! eeeye neeeeed you to beee a Man for mee toniiite..."
McCain trollop on MSNBC just now:
"Senator Obama has trouble connecting with the American people."
Interesting that said trouble translates as his being 4 to 10 points ahead right now.
How the fuck do these people look at themselves in the mirror in the morning?
Oh, dear god. How to sink the campaign even faster. McCain/Nosferatu. watertiger
That would be link having a Republican candidate clearance sale to get rid of old inventory before 2012.

plantsman, your beverage choice?
plantsman the weather in Portland was much better than I thought it would be and I took the wrong clothes.
Had a great time anyway.
Alex Witt is a GOP puppet.
I hope tv news picks up McCain scolding Obama about the difference between tactics and strategy and getting it totally wrong.
For a guy basically running on his commander-in-chief credentials, that was pretty devastating.

Rummy needs to tell McCain, "you go to debates with the VP you have, not the VP you want."
Virtual coffee would be great!
I think they gave McBombBomb a shot of something to his face so it wouldn't droop.
Does Botox do that?
I just have to say that you all have been key to preserving my sanity since I discovered this place sometime around late 2002.
Thanks guys.

To be honest, I don't know if I have the stomach.
The American "people" aren't boiling with rage about the bailout -- the dittoheads are, and they're determined to destroy the country before W leaves.
Yeah, McCain did look healthier I thought last night and his eye wasn't all puffed up. Maybe Burgess Meredith took a razor blade to it.
Even though I watched Sex & The City religiously I have no clue about Botox.
Is it considered a cosmetic treatment?
I want a tall stack o' buttermilk pancakes NOW!

McSpain really looks bad in that video you linked to. His movements are mechanical and his face looks cadaverous. He's blinking like a son of a bitch too.

No they teach you "who would the imaginary swing voter want to have a beer with" and "who looked orange".
This may be the Philly link Atrios meant to include:

I will have you all know that a month ago, on Aug. 30 I predicted Sarah Palin's foreign policy debacle exactly as it has panned out.
Spooky I iz.
Saw Newman ages ago on stage in Sweet Bird of Youth with Geraldine Page and Sidney Blackmer. One hell of a performance.
Obama's tie was absolutely elegant; I couldn't focus on McCain's for fear of having a seizure. Obama wins the sartorial contest.

Is it bad aim, or is watertiger just good at dodging?
So she's out in some bar leaving her newborn son at home? Imagine if Michelle Obama had done such a thing...
One can only imagine the scenarios being proposed to explain her having to withdraw from the VP debate. State crisis back home? Not likely. A family emergency? Perhaps.
One thing's for sure, she's not gonna debate Joe Biden.
"Todd isn't here who wants to fuck me?"-Sarah Palin at the pub
I know this is borderline sexist at best, but, srsly, a 44-year-old woman in a snug white T-shirt and leopard-print belt hanging out at the Irish Pub on a Friday night is sending signals other than "Vote for me for Vice President of the U.S.A."
The Phillies are now damned.
Dammit.
I am looking for Her to be replaced by Lieberman--possibly as soon as Monday before sundown, in order to be in time for the shul buzz at the start of Rosh Hashanah. ("A yiddisher bocher. Could even make President, if he plays his cards right...")
i've heard her speak. she would never say "the vice presidential thing"--it's "the vice presidential thingy", and also just a little short of ending every sentence with a fargo "don'cha know".
