Bush has been recast as a liberal by the fundies. The really believe it, too.
You guys left me while I was getting the peanut butter and coffee ice cream, which I put chocolate sauce on. I'll catch up.
My friends, I have unearthed an invaluable tool for the McLame campaign's crash edumacation of Sarah Palin.
Hope this helps.
Regulators on Friday shut down Silver State Bank, saying the Nevada bank failed because of losses on soured loans, mainly in commercial real estate and land development.
It was the 11th failure this year of a federally insured bank.
Nevada regulators closed Silver State and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was appointed receiver of the bank, based in Henderson, Nev. It had $2 billion in assets and $1.7 billion in deposits as of June 30.
Andrew K. McCain, a son of Republican presidential nominee John McCain, sat on the boards of Silver State Bank and of its parent, Silver State Bancorp, starting in February but resigned in July citing "personal reasons," corporate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission show. Andrew McCain also was a member of the bank's audit committee, responsible for oversight of the company's accounting.
The really believe it, too.
If I were a natural-born con man, I coulda cleaned up the last eight years....

"Why does Sarah Palin hate puppies?" ...
"Last year, her administration offered a $150 bounty for each wolf killed until the bounty was ruled illegal by the courts. Hundreds of wolves are killed each year by this antiquated state program that has no scientific justification whatsoever, but rather is designed to appease Palin's urban sport hunter supporters."

DEUTSCH: There is the new creation that the feminist woman has not figured out in 40 years of the feminist ideal that men can take in a woman in power and women can celebrate a woman in power. Hillary Clinton didn’t figure it out. She didn’t put a skirt on! […]
She [Palin] talked about energy. Didn’t matter! Today everybody’s running in circles — we want to have her over for dinner. I trust her. I want her watching my kids. I want her laying next to me in bed. That’s the way people vote.

Thanks, Richard! That is very cool, indeed!
Hey, Moe? It's gonna rain.
Methinks McCain's base has deserted him.
That was HILARIOUS!
As Hannah brushed by us we had the highest tide I've seen in a long while.
We're seeing the sun for the first time in many days, here. And it looks like we're in the clear for Ike and Josephine.
Whew!
Yea, well, we've got rain before Hanna comes in, so we won't really notice, I don't think. I'll bring in the deck chairs so they don't blow around too much, but no big deal.
According to that map, Hanna is still about 300 miles from DE.
That was HILARIOUS!

My ace team will be briefing her for the next two months on how we're going to do it (and how to pronounce Ahmadinajihad), so no questions about how we're gonna fix everything up that my party broke. Just trust us. I earned your respect and trust by spending 5 years as a POW. Now, let's have BBQ."
The simple fact is:The Democrats have to make news by smacking McCain/Palin around. They have to make their jabs NEWSWORTHY. Then at least they'll have a light shone on them. Biden yesterday did a good job.
According to that map, Hanna is still about 300 miles from DE.
Center of the storm, yeah.
But it's a big one, moving fast now, and we're about to start getting wet.
Hit 'n run:
Nearly every moderate woman I know, and 100% of the liberal women I know, are enraged by Palin.
They hate her to the point of being scarcely able to articulate it. Two women, both among the very best we have, were nearly speechless with fury when I brought up the Governor.
Palin may prove the most polarizing Veep choice in US history. There are no more middle lines. You're gonna see the numbers firm up, and my guess is that they won't be pretty for the GOP.
It was a Hail Mary, and like most Hail Maries, it was a long shot, and it didn't work.
According to that map, Hanna is still about 300 miles from DE.
Center of the storm is still down around the NC/Va border.
I should putter around the yard before the rain comes. See ya'all later.

Palin's a chip off the old blockhead (McCain's).
She backs abstinence-only sex education for teens, but was pregnant when she got married and has a teen daughter that is pregnant and not married.
McCain't is touted as the maverick and the straight talker when in actuality his actions and policies are 180 degrees from these descriptions. His whole acceptance speech about change is laughable.
Or hypocritical. The above is obvious to the most casual observer, also.
Somebody in an earlier thread compared Palin to Cheney. Let's not be ridiculous. Plain was part of the crooked Alaska Republican mob that skimmed an odd million here or there to build a fishing lodge or buy new SUVs and snowmobiles. Cheney and his retinue have spent 35 years systematically rewiring the US government (and society, really) to achieve their intended outcome: stealing $250 billion in plain sight and carrying it out the back door.
Yup -- I saw that bit with Jay Carney. Rachel's coming on Monday!
can't someone with photshop skills make a proper moose and squirrel? McCain, with his bulging cheeks, aviator glasses, and confused expression, is perfect for rocky.
Let's thank the Alaska Democrat who's going to bring Troopergate to light 3 weeks early.

Liquor business has always been full contact sport in that part of the country. My mother lightly stepped on a few toes in the industry back (and I do mean lightly) in the late '60s in New Mexico, and ended up receiving anonymous death threats.
So, yeah, Cindy's heritage and inheritance is likely tinged with the smell of a few dead bodies, envelopes stuffed with unmarked bills, and shady characters operating on the perhiphery.

NBC News did a segment on 2 "typical" American women and their take on Palin. One was sensible, the other said she'd been for Hillary but was now leaning toward McCain.
What I found interesting was that she said she "hadn't paid much attention to politics in the last 4 years."

Wingers: "Why can't Palin be on Oprah's show?"
Because Oprah doesn't allow chair throwing, she doesn't have bouncers, and her bleeper doesn't work fast enough.

Gordon Smith was trying to make hay over the office furniture Jeff Merkley bought for his Office in Salem -- then the DSCC found a $1.2 million set of

What I found interesting was that she said she "hadn't paid much attention to politics in the last 4 years."
Oh. I get it. She's been in a coma. Just like the rest of the country.
You really wanna know what happened to her and everyone else? Try this. It was all part of the GOP plan.
Juicy bits from Herbert:
If there were any good ideas at this convention of mostly rich and mostly right-wing delegates about how to haul the country out of this mess that the G.O.P. has gotten it into, they were kept well hidden. Perhaps they were tucked away behind the more prominently displayed creationism and “just-say-no to global warming” documents.
It stretches the mind almost to the breaking point to think of John McCain as an agent of substantive change. He once believed that Phil Gramm was the most qualified person in the United States to be president. And he now believes that Sarah Palin is the most qualified to be vice president.
"Terri? Terri Schiavo? Is that U?"
What I found interesting was that she said she "hadn't paid much attention to politics in the last 4 years."

Wow -- that "Sambo" comment is radioactive!

Actually, the government originally created Fannie Mae to service the secondary mortgage market providing the back money for savings and loan and GI Bill mortgages until 1967, without incident.
Because of budgetary constraints that year, Congress decided to cut it loose and make it a government-sponsored private corporation. At the same time, it created Freddie Mac as a smaller, nearly identical corporation, so Fannie Mae would have competition in the open market.
Now we get it back, after the raiders have drained it of assets....

One McCain commercial, one Obama, and several targeting Sununu, the winger senator from New Hampshire, who is being challenged by the excellent Jean Shaheen.
The Obama spot was the "Don't know much about the economy" dig at McCain, set to Sam Cooke style music and prominently featuring The Hug. Struck me as very effective, without being nasty.

I attribute it to people sticking around to watch the inevitable "hail mary" pass at the end of a football game. Not much chance for success, but you know that something is going to happen.
McCain's speech was horrible: disjointed, angry without passion, nothing of substance.
The people in the hall care not about what he was saying, but more about staying in power and protecting their phoney baloney jobs.
The media that isn't in bed with the McCain campaign just wants a horse race... two months of hand wringing about racism, sexism, liberalism, and "by the way did you know he was a POW?". They want the status quo because they are the status quo, but what they want more of is ratings.
Ten years from now we will all remember Obama's speech. Ten days from now, no one will remember McCain's.
WaPo has created a blog for their political columnists called "Post Partisan", Eugene Robinson's recent post was brilliant.
Remember how arrogant Sununu's dad was?
McCain has been going around in his speeches saying Palin sold the jet on eBay and made a profit. Neither is true, and several media reports have been filed saying so. It was listed on ebay but sold privately at a loss.
Instead of attacking him for telling a lie over what most people will think is nitpicking, they should mock him for knowing so little about the economy that he doesn't know a profit from a loss.

We're witnessing classic Orwellian doublethink from the Republicans on Palin: any attack on her record or character will be met with cries of "Foul!" for attacking a sweet li'l mom from the hinterlands, all the while touting what a rough, tough moose-hunting bitch she is.

I can absolutely see Palin delivering the Sambo comment. There's something almost animatronic about her smile and manner.
Someone at the RNC said it was worse in person than it was on television.
Actually, if that figure is to be believed, the more people who saw that bizarre "3 hours hate" spectacle, the better.

The Obama campaign gets it, but the media is in its usual "look over there!" mode when presented with a shiny object.
Howard Fineman on Countdown last night had the nerve to ask the rhetorical question whether Palin would be a distraction from the issues; I yelled at the TV, well, that's kind of up to you guys, you asshole.
I'm a little surprised that at her age, Palin knows about Sambo. Those books were pulled from libraries and such. But maybe those are not the books she wanted pulled from her town's library.
Congratulations, Mr. Zadari; Pakistan is now YOUR mess.

I have a feeling that a true history of America in these decadent years will NOT be written by an American.
Biden's "unfavorables" stand at 30%, Palin's at 37% -- already.
anti-science:
As we approach the final days before the Large Hadron Collider starts its mission, we start seeing more and more titles that point towards the end of the world, literally, with black holes destroying humankind and our planet.
But how true is that? Logically speaking, why would we want to destroy our own planet? That just doesn't sound right, and I don't think the scientific community would engage in a dangerous experiment just for the fun of it!
The scary part of all this doesn't actually come from the scientists involved in the experiment, but from people around the world, who've sent them death threats and warnings to stop the experiment.
Palin knows about Sambo the same way that Lynn Westmoreland doesn't know what "uppity" means.
i say screw it, ignore her like a trool
That seems to be exactly what BHO is doing.
Biden was quoted saying that she made a good delivery of a well written speech, which I thought was also pretty nice.
The "Sambo" comment deserves wide publicity today.
Y'know, I really have to question Republicans' species when I see such obviously vile personalities as Giuliani and Palin wholeheartedly embraced.
The fact that the audience needed to be prompted to chant "USA! USA!" by yellow baseball-capped cheerleaders at every pause tells you something about McCain's delivery.
I think they had to clap and cheer at the beginning for X minutes, in which
X = # of times Obama had said thank you + 1.

I guess they read the tea leaves that said shuttling her back to Alaska right after the Conventio might look suspicious.

In 1955, Hensley founded the beer distributorship to have his own name,[19] borrowing $10,000 against everything he had to buy a small existing distributorship.[20] He was given a state liquor license despite his normally disqualifying past felony conviction.[7]

Poor MoDo must be hating her head off trying to write tomorrow's dreck.
I predict that Palin will implode in a week's time.

Wishful thinking, I'm afraid.
She's already said & done enough to get her thrown in jail in a sane country. No experience, thoroughly corrupt, involvement with an anti-American militia, anti-Constitution, anti-rule of law, shamelessly exploiting her children, and completely ignorant of the job she's being asked to compete for, as well as completely ignorant of the world around her.
Yet she's being called a "rock star" and her substanceless comedy-roast speech a "home run."
Anyone who should publish, or cause to be published, using public airwaves or public-rights-of-way information information they know, or reasonably should know, is false shall be subject to a fine of up to $100,000 and civil liability of $10,000 or actual damages, whichever is greater, and possible suspension or revocation of the broadcast license.

BOO!
I guess they read the tea leaves that said shuttling her back to Alaska right after the Conventio might look suspicious.
Maybe they can play volleyball with the Down syndrome child.
I thought a lot of the "USA!" chanting was to cover up Code Pink's disruption.
Nope. There were the equivalent of the guys holding "applause" signs scattered throughout.

We'll see.

Spontaneously combusting in McCain's face would be much more appropriate, though....
It's obvious Trig will be raised by his siblings.

Jeebus. What a pack of useless tools.

It's my turn to make the grocery store run today, so I will do some Palin research in the checkout line.
The "Sambo" remark should be on videotape,
(wishes mightily)
i hope you are right wt.
i'm volunteering for the obama campaign.

Nonetheless, many still seemed confused as to whether to scream "Yay" or "Boo" at the crucial moments.
Jim Hensley and Marley were charged by federal prosecutors with
falsifying liquor records.[14] Defended by future Supreme Court Justice
William Rehnquist, they were acquitted.
It ain't the liquor violations that matter - it's the murder of reporter Don Bolles, instigated by Marley.
When the Arizona State Historical Society named its newest museum for Kemper Marley, that was the day the whole state knew it was in the tank for sheer criminality.
It's obvious Trig will be raised by his siblings.
Has Todd ever been seen holding the baby or looking affectionate?
'Cause, when Mom is speechifying, Dad is supposed to take an interest in their baby. Family values, doncha know.

Check the produce aisle for McCain running up and down making zooming noises and crashing into some pickle jars.
Re: the Biden speech in Avedon's previous post -
Damn, that's some good snarlin'. I kan haz some more?

As confused as the headliner.
So the Obama camp is said to be marshalling Hillary
to speak against Palin. This should be interesting.
I think Palin is on the ticket through November. They done nominated her. They could have stopped this trainwreck at the convention, but they didn't. They think they have the real deal here. Everyone on the talk shows this morning is selling her as the maverick's maverick.
(I love talking points...they're so easy to decipher.)
She ain't going away. She will provide fodder for the media, however.
I'm dreading going to my meeting at noon because the conservative women will be clucking. I can hear it already.
Todd held the baby awhile during the roll-out, I recall.
one thing that galled me about mccain's speech was his attempts at "unifying" the country. why did he put that in there?
Why in the hell does anyone support John McCain? He, his family, and friends have personally been involved in too many bank collapses.
They must be nihilist conservatives.
Bumper sticker:
Embrace Poverty, Vote McCain/Palin!
I loved the story about Levi having Bristol's name tatooed on one of his fingers. My presumption is that the idea was Sarah's and that he was restrained by the ANG while it was done. They prolly also tatooed a prenup agreement on his dick.

If they really get on your nerves, make sure to point out that Sarah Palin is a socialist's socialist -- she distributed all that oil money to the citizens of Alaska, remember...
Jamison's incredible, he got this article out this morning after our all night ice and man-f*&king session.

Have a fun Saturday, batties!

You mean his teen Mommy and aunts and uncles. I stand by my belief that Bristol is the Mom and this story about her current pregnancy is a smokescreen. This is based on examination of photos of the supposedly 7 months pregnant Gov. going on a walking tour of Anchorage with a coffee in her hands and the supposedly 5 months pregnant Bristol meeting Huggy Bear at the airport - there is one photo that shows a not pregnant tummy.
Dad made sheets.
A broadcast journalist shall not be subject penalties for statutory libel if:
1) the broadcast clearly states the information is a quote from another person, and
2) the opportunity to respond to the false information is provided in conjunction with the broadcast of the false information or a signed waiver of response if received before the broadcast of the false information.
all you have to do is google women at 5 months pregnant. like this one.

This isn't necessary good news for the US but it is good news (I hope)

and then tossed poor Trig ASAP to the 6 year-old.
Watertiger has a photo from the RNC that makes Bristol look spectacularly and defiantly un-pregnant.
Let me get this straight, your national party, the Republican Party put it's putative nominee in front of the image of a high school which his campaign mistook for the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. What the fuck in wrong with that?
First of all the correct American spelling of center is centre.
It's true that no one is ever truly neutral.
I find Keith O and Rachel M letting their liberal flags fly frees them to let the facts fly.
Facts have a liberal bias, after all.
