"Chain, chain, chain..."

Now that's what I call a "dick chainey".

CAlI @ 7:

He has to much hair.

Just a new wig.

Anyone see that Kathy Hilton has denounced McCain's ad with Paris in it? Also just heard that Paris apparently has said that the McCain campaign did not get her permission to use her picture but had no further comment.

From article:

Kathy Hilton, however, was unpersuaded, calling the ad "a complete waste of the money John McCain's contributors have donated to his campaign."

Kathy Hilton and her husband donated a total of $4,600 to McCain's campaign earlier this year.

Well, it looks like McCain won't be getting any more money from one contributor.

Anyone notice that disgusting WSJ article about Obama being too thin to be president?

Well it appears the author posed the question on a yahoo board:
Q? Does anyone out there think Barack Obama is too thin to be president? Anyone having a hard time relating to him and his "no excess body fat"? Please let me know. Thanks!

And she recieved an answer from a user named "onlinebeerbellygirl"
A: Yes I think He is to skinny to be President.Hillary has a potbelly and chuckybutt I'd of Voted for Her.I won't vote for any beanpole guy.

This then went on to form an important quote in her article. Great journalism right there from the Murdoch Journal.

Nice.

constituent @ 1:

mccain gets in office and it will be third bush term period.

Wrong, it will be worse. Much, much worse.

There is a Washington Post article about the number of pictures of each candidate. It's by the Ombudsman, Deborah Howell.

The number of pictures of any candidate is a false metric. THe news of the day is what determines the pictures posted with them. So if one candidate was not in the news, he or she would not have a picture. If another candidate was in the news that day and got the picture, what would you do? Print pairs of pictures? That would be silly.

This is a false metric.

Any reason the repugs give to why Obama cant be president just cross out and add the word BLACK instead

Personally I could not be any less concerned as to wether or not Obama is too thin to be President.
However I am absolutely concerned that McCain is too dense to be President.

Paris upset by McCain ad

.. Hilton is upset about the campaign video that attacks the Democratic presidential candidate. According to Digital Spy, a spokesperson for the hotel heiress confirms that Hilton was “featured in the video without any approach for permission being made.”

"Miss Hilton was not asked, nor did she give permission for the use of her likeness in the ad and has no further comment,” Hilton’s representative said.

JD @ 9:

Andrew Sullivan, Chris Bodenner, and Eli Sanders all note that the McCain campaign's strategy on race is to (a) play the race card and then (b) accuse Obama of having played the race card.

Link

I think Obama is smart to put forward the idea that he is different and he will be attacked for being different. I mean it puts the issue front and center and forces EVERYONE to deal with it and resolve it within themselves right now instead of having second thoughts on election day. Obama needs to keep doing it. McCain can cry about it, but the reality is that whatever card he plays now, he won't be able to play this Fall when everyone is paying attention.

The other thing that is pissing me off is this "claim" that Obama and the Clintons still have unresolved issues that is dividing the party. The party from what I've seen has moved on. It's the media and ego-driven insiders that haven't moved on. I can understand why some guy who raised $100,000 for the Clintons and was planning on being a Ambassador may still have hard feelings, but the average person who wasn't going to get any such reward for supporting her doesn't care. And even though they're not worth a damn at this point, none of the POLLS say that Obama is being negatively affected without either Clinton actively campaigning for him. He just hasn't tapped into the full potential of his campaign without them yet.

That about sums it up!

Paris Hilton's mom takes offense at McCain's humor

WASHINGTON - Paris Hilton's mother doesn't share John McCain's sense of humor.
ADVERTISEMENT

McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, said last week that his campaign ad mocking Democrat Barack Obama with images of Hilton and singer Britney Spears was part of an attempt to inject humor into the presidential race.

On Sunday, Hilton's mother, Kathy Hilton, a McCain donor, registered her disapproval.

"It is a complete waste of the country's time and attention at the very moment when millions of people are losing their homes and their jobs," Kathy Hilton said in a short article posted on the liberal Huffington Post Web site. "And it is a completely frivolous way to choose the next president of the United States."

Fine I hope it gets media attention so that the demographics the commercial was directed at will think twice......personally it's bullshxt....but i'm not in that demographic.

I see reports Alexander Solzhenitsyn has passed away. A story that I'm sure will be ignored by most of the media. I remember when he was lauded as Nelson Mandella, Ghandi and Martin Luther King all in one. And then when he dared have the temerity to point out the evils of unrestrained capitalism were not the answer to Stalinist Russia, he dissapeared from public view. The powers that be labeled him a religous dinosaur and an anti-semite, baseless charges, but they were excuse enough to ignore him. His Harvard speech "Letter to the West" was prophetic and the end of his support in the West. His Gulag Archipelago should be required reading in schools. I will miss his writing very much. A modern day prophet.

skippy @ 44:

maybe it's not news to you guys, but i was surprised to find out that talkleft and taylor marsh have publicly stopped drinking the hillary kool-aid.

Actually, they stopped drinking the Hillary Kool-Aid not even two days after she endorsed Obama. So yeah, it's really not "news" at this point. CorrenteWire took a little longer to come around, and No Quarter is still as nuts as ever.

Man...he'll be missed by me. The guy was a hero, and considering what Stalin turned Russia into, to say that to the Western media took a lot of balls.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THE FBI, THE CIA, THE NSA, MI5, MI6, THE MAFIA, ISRAEL, THE ISI, THE CLINTONS, ANYONE INVOLVED W/ MENA, ARKANSAS, THE ROCKEFELLERS, THE ROTHSCHILDS, QUEEN ELIZABETH THE 2ND, FREEMASONS, JESUITS, THE POPE, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, FUNDAMENTALIST EVANGELICALS, CHINA, MICHAEL CHERTOFF, JOHN NEGROPONTE, DICK CHENEY, RUSSIA, VLADIMIR PUTIN, NINJAS, THE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE, ANY WILD ANIMALS OR PAT BUCHANAN.

Hey! I'm the one who, after the last X-Mess, came up with the McShame-Scrooge connection. See my blog entry, "The Face on McCain's Door Knocker." I feel ripped off. It's at: http://doctordiatribe.blogspot.com/2008/02/face-on-john-mccains-door-kno...

That should be McCain's theme song:

"Chains! My baby's got me locked up in chains,
And there the kind you can't see.."

"Cha-cha-chain, chain of fools . . ."
