The terrorist endorsement game

Step 1: Hamas says something nice about Obama. McCain says “I think it’s very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States. … If Senator Obama is favored by Hamas, I think people can make judgments accordingly.” RightWingNews headline “Hamas Endorses Obama? Can Hizbollah And Al-Qaeda Be Far Behind?” Step 2 […]

McCain *is* The Penguin

Previously, on this same bat-channel, we’ve seen Batman go up against the Penguin in an election and in a political debate. But now we have irrefutable evidence that The Penguin, Batman’s arch nemesis, is none other than John McCain! Via Laughing Squid.

Hypocrisy Hullabaloo

I think I see a pattern of hypocrisy emerging. First a conservative radio show accuses Obama of giving a speech in front of an “Obama Flag”, which looks like an American flag but has a big “O” on it for Obama. Then he goes off, ranting about what that means: These things are symptomatic of […]

McCain caption-this-photo challenge!

A bunch of people have sent this photo to me to post, but I’ve been resisting since it is all too easy to capture someone in an awkward pose. The photo was actually taken as McCain started to exit off the stage at the last debate, but realized he was going the wrong way and […]

Obama and McCain make each other laugh – and you will too!

It took quite a bit of searching to find all of McCain’s speech at the Al Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner. In fact, it took two separate videos just for McCain.

These are the people that McCain is categorically proud of

Last night at the final debate, Obama objected to people saying that he pals around with terrorists. McCain must have misunderstood, because it is Sarah Palin who has said that numerous times, but McCain’s response is interesting nonetheless: Let me just say categorically I’m proud of the people that come to our rallies. I’m not going […]

What we know about Joe the “Plumber”

McCain spent more time talking about Joe the Plumber than Sarah Palin in the debate tonight: From Jeff Seemann at Daily Kos (and MoBuck.com). But not the real Joe. UPDATE: Joe the Plumber has been confirmed as Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher. The New York Times has turned up that he is not licensed, either as a […]
