Joe goes off-message

What can I say but, "Rove, you magnificent bastard!"

"I thought that was terrible by the way," Biden said of the computer ad in an interview broadcast tonight on the CBS Evening News

Asked why it was aired, Biden said: "I didn't know we did it and if I had anything to do with it, we would have never done it."

I wonder, will Michelle take him aside and explain how that conversation doesn't help her kids?

Covering up

Oh, this is gonna get good.  The astroturf Winners quickly deleted their videos obviously, but even better, they quickly abandoned their youtube accounts.  Here be some screencaps, and I'm guessing the Jawas will have their own up soon.

Mwahahahahaaaa, the scrubbing continues.  How much of are we catching, I wonder?

Warrant served

Looks like the FBI came a-knockin' on David Kernell's door.  Wonder what charges he will be facing, and how much his politically connected father can get that reduced.  There was a party going on at the kid's place when the Feds came...going away party perhaps?

Since a Warrant was served, and since I'm bored and a moron, cheesy 80's music FTW!

Politico asks: Will Bush be Hoover 2.0?

Probably, but to just pin the collapse of the financial industry on him is unfair.  Presidents past and Congress have also pushed the industry to give mortgages and loans to people who lacked the means to pay for those loans.  What the fuck did they think was going to happen?  Of course, the political class is just going to demagogue or dig us into a deeper hole than we're already in...

"Stand up, Chuck"

Greasy Joe is asking a Missouri State Senator by the name of Chuck Graham to stand up for a round of applause, which, really, is a nice gesture if you think about it. There's just one problem, though, which I'll reveal below the fold...

Persuasion

Barack Obama has a message for you. A message about hope. A message about change. A message about being a dick:

"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face," he said.

Can we be a bunch of pushy, arrogant jerks who piss off their neighbors? Yes We Can!

Here we go again

The Chief Moron came out swinging against his favorite punching bag yesterday (Content Warning on that link and an explanation about the date here), and I can't blame him, seeing as how Andrew Sullivan dove head-first into the sewer again with the following (no link, as per editorial policy):

A pathological liar simply cannot be trusted to tell the truth about herself, even on a subject as routine as a pregnancy and infant son. I can't believe I'm asking these questions either. But in the absence of any answers, what am I supposed to do?

How about stepping back from the brink of insanity and taking a long, hard look at your rotten soul, Andrew? Or maybe, thinking for a while about how you're so deep in the tank for your new Messiah that you're willing to spread vile rumors about someone you perceive to be a threat to His ascension?  Oh, and Andi, just because you say someone is a pathological liar doesn't make it so.

I know this puts me out of the mainstream of acceptable Washington opinion.

No, this puts you outside of polite society, or at least it should. You've sunk to peddling easily discredited smears about the innocent  teenage daughter and infant son of one of your political opponents under the paper-thin guise of "just asking questions," like a goddamn 9/11 troofer.  That actually puts you "out of the mainstream" of acceptable people who aren't horrible shitheels.  That kind of insane, conspiratorial bullshit puts you squarely in the company of people who should be shunned by decent, thoughtful individuals everywhere.

Surprisingly, though, at the end of his insane ramblings, St. Andrew of the Blessed Heart-Ache actually writes something sensible for a change:

If you really think you now know all you need to know about her, read someone else.

Done and done. Have a nice life, scumbag.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find a list of companies that advertise in The Atlantic.  They might be interested in some of the tawdry, gossip-rag trash you've been peddling over there.

Democrat congressman John Boyd's son busted smuggling illegals into US

And of course, because this is a Democrat's kid, party is omitted from the article.  He had six illegals, some meth, needles and a .22 LR pistol in his car, border patrol dogs caught a scent.  Wonder what Boyd's record is on illegal immigration?

What was that about the "crushing of dissent," again?

In a mostly bland article about the "Obama Action Wire," a Chicago Tribune reporter actually gets around to noting that some people are disturbed by the way the Obamatons are shouting down voices they don't want to hear:

Obama's campaign describes the system as a grass-roots truth squad that arms supporters with information. But others see an attempt to stifle free speech.

"If Barack Obama demonstrates this little regard for free speech from his opponents during the campaign, what could the American people expect from him as a president?" Ed Martin, president of American Issues Project, said in a statement.

Remind me again, which side of the political spectrum in this country is full of thugs and fascists? Which side has an army of "digital brownshirts" waiting to attack?

"People are starving!"

Starving?  Really?  Someone should add in the standard "overweight people walking down the street" B-roll that every major news channel has for the endless barrage of "You're a bunch of fat bastards, America! Quit embarrassing us in front of the Europeans with your fatness!" stories they run to this clip.  What a dumbass.

Oh, and did he mention he's black?

Sen. Obama at his Hollywood fundraiser last night:

“If we can cut through the nonsense and the lipstick and the pigs and the silliness, then I’m absolutely convinced that we’re going to win.”

Yes, Obama, the best way to cut through and get past something is to keep bringing it up. 

He's the smartest man in America the world.  Just ask him.

A TNR writer, complaining about the GOP playing victim cards?  FAIL 

How dare the GOP use our own tactics against us!

Will there be pillow fights?

Here's Greasy Joe, inadvertently agruing against himself on the campaign trail:

“I believe that's a metaphor, a metaphor for what the country is looking for. They're looking for a sleepover with people they like!”

First of all, I don't really think that's what the country is looking for. I'm pretty sure we're looking for responsible, serious leadership during a time of war and a slumping economy, not for someone to braid our hair (or hair plugs, as the case may be). Secondly, when it comes to a sleepover with someone you like, would you rather invite Joe Biden or...well, I think you can see where I'm going with that.

President of Democrat and Brady Campaign front group American Hunters and Shooters Association shilling for Obama

The American Hunters and Shooters Association is a front group for the Democrats and the Brady Campaign, you remember these guys, right?  They have the president, who is a former NFL player making a bunch of tired football cliches while trying to assure pro-2nd people that Obama isn't the gun grabbing tool we all know him to be.  Rest assured, this crap the American Hunters and Shooters Association is peddling isn't going to help the Democrats much, if at all. 

Related:  Obama and Biden's anti-2nd records undermining their efforts to make gains in Western states.  Guarantee it isn't going to help him in PA either, Pennsylvania actually takes state holiday for the opening of deer season, just to give you an idea how many hunters we have here.

Well, It Seems As Though Kos Believes He Hasn't Been Dirty Enough

I won't link directly to Kos, but Jay Tea at Wizbang caught this little nugget from the head of the Nutroots.

And here is the money quote Jay found:

I'm not about to revert to writing puff pieces about Obama thinking that his magic "new politics" bullshit will carry us to victory. He may or may not believe that crap, but I don't. We're going to win this thing the way campaigns are won -- by playing hardball. Politics is a blood sport. Republicans understand this and never flinch from flinging the shit. We won't win until we learn to fight back in kind. And I'm more than happy to get down in the mud with our friends on the Right so Obama doesn't have to.

Well, considering that many of The Deciders already participate at Kos, either overtly (Olbermann), or under user names, I find it ironic the Mediacrats believe their coordination on slime pieces isn't having its desired impact yet.

Rove, you magnificent bastard

If I read this latest Obama campaign fundraising email correctly, having Karl Rove come out and criticize the GOP candidate's ads is a play right out of the Bush-Rove playbook.

Oh, and it's probably cynical.

Or a distraction. 

Or something.

New York?

Dude, how the fuck does Obama even remotely begin to struggle in New friggin' York?  Can this even be right?  Is the Obama campaign going to implode?  If Obama has to actually start spending money to keep New York, of all places, he's gotta be done short of some major disaster for the McCain campaign.

I'm in denial!

ACORN? Involved with voter fraud?  No, I simply refuse to believe it!  ACORN would never engage in voter fraud! 

Question: Why does ACORN continue getting away with this crap?
