Too many other fantastic new videos from The Daily Show. Check these out: Their hilarious wrap-up of the final night of the Republican convention. Small-town Republican values (which seem primarily to be “no gays allowed”). Asking delegates about Bristol Palin’s ch…ch…ch…choice.
Let’s ignore for a moment whether Sarah Palin’s speech at the republican convention was well-written (it was written by a former speechwriter for Dubya) or well delivered. What bothered me about it was two things. First, other than talking about her family and attacking Obama, she didn’t really say anything. No issues, no idea of […]
Jon Stewart takes on Karl Rove, Bill O’Reilly, and Sarah Palin’s gender card. Rampant hypocrisy exposed! If you can’t get enough of pundit hypocrisy, watch Pat Buchanan and Joe Scarborough drink the kool-aid and do a complete 180 over Palin. Four days ago, they were laughing about her possible VP nomination, saying that she was […]
McCain’s campaign manager Rick Davis is fighting back against all the negative media attention on McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin as his VP running mate. Today, he called for the same level of scrutiny on Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Does he really want the same scrutiny for both sides? As I recall, Obama’s […]
McCain is touting his VP choice as a reformer who fought against earmarks (often called “pork”). But the LA Times has found that when Palin was mayor of Wasilla, she made McCain’s “Pork List” three times for requesting questionable earmarks for her small Alaska town. Among the projects in McCain’s Pork List that Palin requested was […]
Last night, ex-democrat Joe Lieberman spoke at the Republican national convention and endorsed McCain for president (as he has done many times in the last year). But two years ago, he sang a different tune: Lieberman calls Obama a “blessing to America”, and says that he will help Obama “reach for the stars”.
This is insane. Just who is the government supposed to be protecting here? A federal appeals court ruled today that the federal government can prohibit meat packers from testing their animals for mad cow disease. A premium meatpacker in Kansas wants to test all of its cows for the disease, but the government won’t let […]
A few weeks ago, I quoted Alaska Governor Sarah Palin praising Obama’s energy plan. Today, she was named as McCain’s (presumptive) VP choice, and (big surprise) those quotes mysteriously vanished as if she had never uttered them. I could understand if Palin took them off of her own website, but they were removed from the […]
A new McCain campaign attack ad shows lots of images of Obama, but for some unexplained reason has an ominous “dark shadow” hanging over him. That’s bad enough, but the real killer is that this same strange shadow is used in an image where Obama is standing in front of a crowd holding up the […]
Every once in a while you see a story that expands the boundaries of hypocrisy. Today, former governor Mitt Romney claimed that McCain deserved his many houses because of “hard work”, but that Obama “got a special deal from a convicted felon”. First of all, this “hard work” would be what? Having an affair with […]
The Fox News website posts a “No Spin Poll” asking “What is the most biased news outlet in America?” and gives four choices. Ironically, none of the choices is Fox News itself: from eyje. The choices are the New York Times, MSNBC, Associated Press, and NPR. Gee, I guess they forgot the Washington Post!
Last week, McCain couldn’t remember how many homes he owns. Now, Think Progress points to a 2007 interview when he not only didn’t know how many homes he owns (in the interview, he was only willing to admit to two homes, when the real answer is at least seven), but amazingly he didn’t know what […]
Another fantastic video from Jed Lewison.
In the 2004 presidential race, the Bush campaign and right-wing pundits jumped all over the fact that Kerry had married an heiress (his second wife), and that they had a (gasp) prenuptial agreement: “If his own wife doesn’t trust him with her money, why should we trust him with ours? Teresa Heinz Kerry is not […]
