To be fair, Sully didn't vote for Bush. He's not a citizen.

Weak, whiny, and confused.

Yep, that's just what we need now.

Your item sort of misses the point. The purpose of the letter is to keep alive the (necessary)conservative sense of outrage and grievance. Additionally, the letter will become the basis for a false-balance item in the MSM, showing how Obamba "does it too" when describing McCain's tacitcs.

They forgot the anonymous blog commenters!!!

Steve, you may want to fix fpolish (I think it should be foolish). We don't want to upset libra. :-D

DKos? Honestly?

Boy, how about I hop over to one of the freeper sites and see what they have to say. I've seen the N word (lying Chicago ni**er), angry black woman (more times than I can count), and other things not worth repeating.

Spare me the Boehner quality whining and crying.

Feinting couches all around, please. （Intentionally misspelled, thank you very much. :D )

I call her negative culture war attack harpy, does that qualify?

more of the same. . .

No wonder I couldn't spot the satire in the SNL McCain skit.

McCain/Palin attempt #341 to change the subject.

Weak tea response, Steve.

Asking questions about Trig Palin’s parentage or the possibility she had an affair with one of her husband’s best friends — when the GOP has made ANTIPRIVACY a campaign issue for more than 20 years (allegations never denied by McCain-Palin, either, BTW) — is NOT “attacking.�

And, this is what Obama gets for taking money away from 527s. He could have MoveOn running with this football a mile down the field.

Even by McCain campaign standards

The McCain campaign has standards?

Well, they may have a point...I hate Trig.
But calculus is teh awesome.

McCain's campaign looks absolutely, completely fucking lost right now.

Speaking of attacking a rival's family, is there any reason that Obama/Biden Dems should not be attacking Palin for allowing her unelected secessionist husband to act as an independent agent, at Alaskan taxpayers' expense, on the Governor's behalf? If Michelle Obama is unpatriotic for a benign comment, then this guy is off the charts.

Where's the media? Where's the outrage?

My doctor (whom, sadly, I have to see every three months and cannot replace), had a hand-made sign in his office with a pic of Palin and McCain that read, "How DARE they say can't serve because she's a mother!"

When I asked, "Who has said that?" he replied, "The media."

I asked for a specific example, and he couldn't do it. So I provided an example for him: Dr. Laura. A Republican.

I asked if there was a single Democrat who had done so, and he said "I don't know, but I bet they have!"

That's right, folks -- these people are ginning up some faith-based outrage. No evidence, no truth, and no basis in reality. It's crazy, clinically stupid and, for the GOP, typical.

But there it is.

Let's make a deal. The Palin's quit harassing Wooten, and firing people just because they don't kiss a.. abjectly enough, and the rest of us will lay off of them - at least personally.
Politically, we still have sooooo very much to parse.

One must always remember that, in the mind of Empress Palin the Lipsticked, anything less than unanimous kowtowing constitutes "vicious attacks."

which leads me to wonder: If someone were to suggest that the solution to all of America's problems, both foreign and domestic, would be to grind some particular Alaskan Independence Party associates Republicans into the freshly-thawed permafrost with a Soviet Russian tank---would Empress Palin the Lipsticked pull a Mr. Creosote, and explode all over a staged-McTownhall stage?

Inquiring minds want to know....

Wasn't that diary subsequently locked and the user banned from Kos?

She's a corrupt governor of a welfare state who used her office to pursue personal vendettas, hired her high-school friends at fat salaries, paid herself a per diem to live at home, furnished the governor's mansion with a tanning bed, is defying subpoenas into corruption investigations, lied about going to Iraq, lied about the bridge to nowhere, and she counts the Alaskan frontier with Russia as her international experience.

She's attacked Obama with repeated lies about his tax plans and his record, but when she's called her own past and record, her campaign screeches "sexism" and "attacks on her family".

4) A post on a Washington Monthly blog states that...
"Palin faked her pregnancy with Trig, Bristol is the mother. How amusing it will be if Palin, through a bizarre but quite possible series of events becomes President only to have the real truth of this pregnancy come to light. The US will be in the deep dark waters of a horrible recession or depression, two losing wars, a gas crisis, and the President of the United States will have her sorted lies up for display and ridicule on every tabloid rag across the globe. What this is my friends, is the end of America, drunken celebrity style. You best dig yourself a bunker and fill it with canned goods!"

Who cares whose kid it is? If anybody should release their medical records it is John McCain -- he's confused, can't remember even what he said one day to the next -- sounds like a small stroke or dementia - he's too sick to be President. Or he just the cover for the conservative Republicans bait (John McCain) and switch (President Palin) routine?

The McCain campaign is like a bunch of arsonists yelling fire to take the focus off themselves, or are they like a bunch of purse snatchers yelling crime and pointing in the other direction to divert attention from their skullduggery.

McCain/Palin sure know how to take the noble out of the expression - democracy, a noble human experiement. I see them naked as they are - powermongers who wish to ascend to the presidency to continue helping their "friends" on Wall St. instead of Main St.

If they have to twist the moment into what is essentially a paranoid call to arms, they'll need a whole lot of therapy after November 4th. -Kevo

a quick trip down memory lane reveals that after McCain told the tasteless joke about both Chelsea and HER parentage["Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno." ]....the PRESS COVERED FOR SAINT JOHN.....

shocking!!! really.....

David Corn
June 1998

The fact that McCain had made the tasteless joke was reported in major newspapers, as was the vain attempt by his press secretary to initially deny what McCain had done. But in several major newspapers, the joke itself was kept a secret.

When McCain subsequently apologized to President Clinton, the Washington Post, in its personality section, noted the apology but said the joke "was too vicious to print."

The Los Angeles Times, in its Life & Style section, provided an oblique rendering of the joke that did not fully convey its ugliness.

When Maureen Dowd penned a column in the New York Times about the joke, she wrote that McCain "is so revered by the press that his disgusting jape was largely nudged under the rug." But Dowd chose not to relay the joke, either.

The joke did appear in McCain's hometown paper, the Arizona Republic, and the Associated Press did report the joke in full, so everyone in the press had access to McCain's words.

But by censoring themselves, the Post, the Times and others helped McCain deflect flak and preserved his status as a Republican presidential contender.

sh!t, some things NEVER CHANGE...

Palin's been doing it to herself from the get-go. IF she had been out there (leaving aside the question of actually being able to handle pressers without handlers) she might have modified the view a tad more favorably.

As it is now, we have clear stonewalling, the Anchorage paper saying nasty things in the op-ed about the McSame campaign taking over Alaska, and an elitist beauty queen who won't deign to talk to the press unless they show deference to her "highness".

In the end, however, I'm sure McSame loses because this really won't go away no matter how much they whine. They've lost Will and Krauthammer this week as well.

And, Sarah, if you can't handle a presser with tough questions, you can't handle the presidency.

our country may go to hell, but at least SNL might be relevant and funny again. maybe.

Hilarious in view of the previous post about Todd Palin. Actually, I thought the article was fair although not for lack of trying.

McCain was asked last night why Sarah Palin can't be interviewed or host press conferences. McCain responded, "The American people are vetting her."

If that's how they see it, they can't bitch about this:

A user diary on DailyKos, which is of course the site of leading Obama supporter Markos Moulitsas, raising questions about that pregnancy.

Hilarious in view of the previous post about Todd Palin.

You don't understand the difference between "attacking someone's family" and questioning the appropriateness of an unelected, unappointed spouse:

--conducting state business (including lobbying for industries in which he has a business interest)
--traveling on the taxpayer's dime
--refusing to comply with a subpoena, putting himself in contempt of the Alaska legislature?

No, you wouldn't. The Mike K arteries are almost all the way closed now. Lucent thoughts are few and far between.

Biden should use this line.

I have always thought that since her husband is an anti-American secessionist, and her two oldest children were out-of-control with substance abuse and made terrible, irresponsible decisions (parenting DOES matter), and the fact that the family defrauded the state of Alaska for thousands of dollars in elicit expenses perdiem, was very germane to HER campaign. She isn't running for Mayor anymore. It's not that Palin is just unready--she is unsteady, vengeful and vapid.

What a bunch of oinkers.

How dare anyone question Sarah Palin's ___________ (fill in blank)? Don't they know she's chosen by a former POW?

"unsteady, vengeful and vapid": Sparko at 10:18 PM

Spot on. Vote for the geriatric houseboy and the brain-dead harpy - Vote McPalin.

"unsteady, vengeful and vapid": : Sparko at 10:18 PM

Spot on. Vote for the geriatric houseboy and the braindead harpy - Vote McFeeble/Porky Palin.

Only two weeks and suddenly the sounds of crickets is driving her mad? What?

It's like the guy in Monty Python and the Holy Grail saying, "she turned me into a newt!"

"Friends, in the course of a few weeks, the Obama-Biden Democrats have launched attack after attack on me, my family and John McCain. They're desperate to win and they'll no doubt launch these attacks against other reformers on our ticket."
-----

So attacks on Mrs. Palin and her family and John McCain - I follow that; desperate to win - I would disagree, but okay; no doubt they'll launch these attacks against other reformers on our ticket - wait, McCain/Palin/Unnamed Reformers - who exactly is left on the ticket to be attacked?

If Palin duo can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. Has she released ten years of her taxes yet?

People have been very gentle with Palin's family and her own tawdry past. She suddenly eloped on Aug 29, 1988 and gave birth to her first son on April 29, 1989. If my math skills haven't deserted me, either her son was born 5 1/2 weeks prematurely, or Ms. Palin was 5 1/2 weeks pregnant when she eloped.

Now this would be completely irrelevant to the campaign but for her holier than thou moralizing against sex education (except abstinence) and the Republicans' frequent attacks on premarital sex. Her behavior just highlights the hypocrisy and racial bigotry of the Republican leadership (and an awful lot of Republican voters) because they just love to rail against those 17 year old unwed mothers in the ghetto. And imagine the outcry if Barack Obama had a teenage daughter pregnant out of wedlock.

But DAN L, as the GOP is always patiently EXPLAINING to you, unwed teenage pregnancy is fine as long as the taxpayers don't have to support these kids via welfare. The Boyfriend, a high-school dropout, will get a very nice job with the State of Alaska, so you see, the young couple won't be a drain on society at ALL.

Has anyone seen the video on The View about Focus on the Family holding a fundraiser and selling waffles with Obama's face on the box in place of Aunt Jemima? On the bottom there's a picture of him in a turbin and an arrow that says, "point toward Mecca for better taste". And these people have the nerve to whine about personal attacks?????
