Of course, McCain's greatest bit of rank whorishness has been the way he and his staff use his time as a POW in 'Nam to brush aside any allegations of being less than impeccably honorable. Seriously, if you have to say about your candidate when he can't remember how many houses he owns, "This is a guy who lived in one house for five and a half years -- in prison," as McCain spokestooge Brian Rogers did yesterday, then your candidate is fucking worthless.

As the Rude One put it:
1. Biden's son is heading to Iraq. That's the kind of political street cred it takes something like five and a half years in a prison camp to earn.
2. Biden is a tough motherfucker. God tried to take him out with a double brain aneurysm, and Biden kicked God in the nuts. Don't you want a Vice President who can kick God in the nuts and not be allied with Satan?
3. Ron Fournier of the AP is a little bitch. Biden must have pissed him off somewhere down the road.
4. Yeah, he ain't perfect (see the Clarence Thomas hearings and his anti-Obama comments that are already being used against him). But if you're complaining, would you seriously have wanted the media talking about the tension between Obama and Clinton(s) for the next four to eight years? And would you have wanted to explain to every non-Virginian just who the fuck Tim Kaine is?
(An earlier version of this post said that Biden had brain cancer. It has been corrected to accurately reflect exactly how hard God tried to smite him. God's still gotta put an icepack on his balls whenever he thinks about Biden.)

"This is what happens when pundits have to fill time
Every chance he gets, David Shuster has been repeating how "weird" things were today at the Obama/Biden event today in Springfield. He has repeatedly gone on at length about every gaffe that was made:[...]
...I'm not sure why verbal flubs are the focal point here. We all trip over our words. It isn't as if Joe Biden actually thinks Barack's last name is America, or that Obama believes that Biden is at the top of the ticket.
And what is wrong with calling his wife gorgeous? What am I missing here? How about discussing the substance of the speeches instead of the quirks?"

I don't think Bill Clinton's "obnoxiousness" was so much a problem as just the general weird vibes from having a former President so close to the action without being part of it. the two worst jobs in a Hillary Clinton Presidency would have been vice president and secretary of state.

I've been re-reading the Biden sections of Richard Ben-Cramer's "What It Takes".
It's fascinating comparing Biden in 1988 to Obama in 2008... Biden was then 45, Obama just turned 47.
It's exhausting reading because Cramer's writing style conveys a hyperactive, almost manic style which he seems to associate with Biden.
They share a gift at connecting with audiences, but Biden has always lacked the discipline which seems to come naturally to Obama.
Cramer places the thought in Biden's mind, after the death of his wife and infant daughter in the horrible car crash in December 1972 which seriously injured his small sons, that in some ways it would have been 'easier' if the boys had died also because he could simply have killed himself. His responsibility to his sons kept him alive.
I shudder to even imagine going through such a thing.

Cramer's from MD, where I was living when the book was published (around '92 iirc) so I heard him interviewed several times and immediately ran out and bought and read it.
It's a hunka book (over 1000 pages) but I've never read anything like it, and never expect we'll see its like again.
One thing that struck me in the interviews I heard was how much Cramer respects the candidates: Biden, Hart, Dukakis, Gephardt, Dole and GHWBush... not in a superficial, "approving" sort of way, but I think he takes the measure of them as people and finds them rather extraordinary in many ways... I believe I heard him say once that throughout their lives, even as children, they've been the magnets around which other objects aligned (sic).

(CNN) -- A dog sheltered a newborn baby abandoned by its 14-year-old mother in a field in rural Argentina until the boy was rescued, a doctor said Friday.
The abandoned infant was found in a field with this dog and her newborn puppies.
A resident of a rural area outside La Plata called police late Wednesday night to say that he had heard the baby crying in a field behind his house.
The man went outside and found the infant lying beside the dog and its six newborn puppies, said Daniel Salcedo, chief of police of the Province of Buenos Aires.
The temperature was a chilly 37 degrees, Salcedo said. The dog had apparently carried the baby 50 meters from where his mother had abandoned him to where the puppies were huddled, police said.
"She took it like a puppy and rescued it," Salcedo said. "The doctors told us if she hadn't done this, he would have died.
"The dog is a hero to us."

It is easy to see why Biden is the pitch-perfect teammate to go after John McCain, and why those Republican ads showing him praising McCain will backfire. All Biden has to do is to say that he has long known and admired "John," but recently McCain has lost his way -- a powerful character indictment, not just a policy attack, because it clearly comes from a friend. The policy aspect relies on McCain's 180-degree turn toward Bush in recent years. But, as we heard, the Biden critique is even more powerful in bemoaning McCain's profound failure of character and principle in using Swift-boat tactics in this election. This is going to ring true, because Biden speaks for many former McCain admirers in both parties in his eloquent condemnation of that rancid turn by McCain.
Biden can hold McCain personally responsible for this, in a why that in effect questions his honor, without ever saying so in so many words.

Sen. Biden called me to testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Iraq in April 2004, when there was heavy fighting between the Mahdi Army and the US military. He did so on the basis of a journal article I had written on the Sadr Movement in the Middle East Journal, which he had read. That knocked my socks off. People in Washington don't often read journal articles. It struck me as the sort of thing that should happen in our democracy every day-- you write something in your specialty, and your elected representative calls you to talk about it. No lobbies, think tanks, etc. involved.
So it was a positive impression! And in the hearing he was informed and articulate.
Followed by some proposed responses to any criticisms of Biden "malapropisms"...all Bush quotes of course.

which is basically what one says when they want to wait another four years to get a Dem in the White House... and, believe me, I am nowise a fan of Barack Obama, but whatever his faults, he has way more potential than John McCain, who's best chance was eight years ago.

The candidate for change has chosen the consumate Washington insider as a running mate.....not just any insider, but an old school "do nothing" Democrat, the type who talk a great game but ultimately do very little, and who over the past 30 years has blocked several Republican Presidents on such things as Social Security, re-arming the armed forces, cutting welfare and bogus health claims........This is a sad day for many Americans......

Plus, it was inconceivable that the first musical thang that simels and I agreed upon (harmony, heh) could be WRONG!
I live in AZ, the home state for McCain, and I've only seen three republican bumper stickers this election season. Those were frayed and faded, from previous elections. I think I've seen more Bill Clinton for prez bumper stickers, on some very old hulks of cars.
But I have seen many Obama signs and bumper stickers.
In 2000, and 2004 by this part of the election season there seemed to be a lot more Republican excitement and buzz. This year I think they are all sleeping or hiding.

Just the guy I was looking for!
I had an idea and I want to ask you who would be the right people to contact.
Talk radio gets money from political ads in the fall. I would like to convince people NOT to place any political ads for Democrats on AM talk radio.
I'm thinking of all the arguments and counter arguments that will be used.
One to use:
Why should our democratic donated dollars go to pay the salary of Rush and Hannity?
I know that the media buyers will say, "We need to read the Rush audience" but of course THEY make more money when the buy more ads. So the media buyers might not be the ones to convince. Maybe we have to go to the candidates and the party infrastructure.
Rush won't stop bashing the democrats advertising just because they are advertising. The people that listen to Rush are not going to vote for our guy anyway. This can be a financial hit that they won't like, but they can't very well change their views just to get some advertising revenue. And if they do well we can use that against them.
The goal here is to keep working to defund the noise machine.
Thoughts?
Anyone else?

I've reached my hand out so many times, I should have been charging for tug jobs.
If you wonder why I'm such a prick, keep that in mind. How many times is someone supposed to try?
Being actually sincere about it would actually help.
I remember when you were on your apologize a hundred times (or whatever fucking number it was) bender. As usual, it was obnoxious, really annoying as hell.

My thoughts to your thoughts....(puts fingers aside Spock o's head).
We see rightwing ads in the middle of the page here, right? (I am thinking of one this afternoon wherein BillO came up over and over despite refreshing and I finally had to move the helloscan box down over his evil face.)
What do we do, commend the fascists for "reaching out to those of other views"? No, we mock them ferociously and deride them for wasting money enriching Atrios' travel budget to the land of indigestible seafoods.
Defunding is simple. Don't spend money there. Use it for some better purpose, like walking-around money to somebody registering voters in Tennessee.

The American government insists that the interceptors, which will be stationed on the Baltic coast, have nothing to do with Russia: their purpose is to defend Europe and the US against the intercontinental ballistic missiles Iran and North Korea don't possess. This is why they are being placed in Poland, which, as every geography student in Texas knows, shares a border with both rogue states.
Heh. "Every geography student in Texas"

No, but I did have some very tasty barbecue at a place in Shell Beach, more or less right next to Pismo.
I also climbed the seacliffs with my daughter, saw a couple of hundred pelicans on the off-shore rocks, and watched my daughter as she explored a small cave -- actually a hole that had been blown through a huge rock by wave action. It was great.

I theorized that to people whose net worth is more than $100M, houses are like music CDs for us serfs.

To tell the truth, Lubbock has grown so much since my childhood, the suburbs sprawling and the older sections gentrified, that I barely recognize it now.
Once upon a time, the wind would whip over the freshly plowed cotton fields and turn the sky brown and orange with dust. You'd have to put a wet cloth over your nose and mouth. Gangs of tumbleweeds would roll down the street.
I suppose one day the water will run out, and Lubbock's "natural beauty" will return.
For now, by gum those lawns will stay green, dammit!
