2008 USP(G)ET pt. II: counting the days to 2012 primary thread 1

he is going to say he swooped in and prevented a bad bill from going through

I wouldn't say I'm freaked out - apparently I'm just not as excited as everybody else on this thread is about photoshop hijinks

The funny part is, if McCain somehow recovers from this, there's still a whole fucking month of October left.

xp - ah ok, Shakey. understood re: shouting into the wind, etc.

Palin, a beautiful woman, who facially resembles movie actress Rachel Welch in the movie 10,000 B.C

if only she sartorially resembled movie actress Rachel Welch in the movie 10,000 B.C

isn't 10,000 bc a CGI thing?

also, sarah palin doesn't believe in cavemen

They had computers back then?

maybe it is secretly an insult? because 10,000 BC is like a few too many thousand years ago to have even happened?

some good analysis here

McCain's options are "bad" and "worse" and House Reps don't like him.

10,000 bc is one of the most retarded movies btw

in case u dont read boingboing

goddamn elizabeth hasslebeck, remember when she was just the cute one on Survivor? how I hate her

Survivor-wise, she was always the poor man's Colleen Haskell.

this fucking guy:

The presidential election might be a tight race now, but one of the country’s top pollsters thinks the race will end in an electoral landslide.

John Zogby, president of Zogby International, told a group of businesspeople today that it’s up to Democratic Sen. Barack Obama to convince voters to go with him. If he’s not successful, the country will likely vote for “a comfortable old shoe”, that being Republican Sen. John McCain.

I'd sooner vote for a comfortable old shoe

lol zogby whata buffoon

Zogby is retarded. Called it for Kerry last time btw.

isnt zogby the poll thats always wrong

yes

After the 2004 debacle, does anyone care what Zogby thinks?

nope

Mr. Letterman is not done yet

can someone pls give bullet point summary of the last 12 hrs in the next 15 minutes?

11 am - john mccain is in dc somewhere. people are yelling at him.
later on - obama is in dc, they all go to a meeting with the president. everybody except the house republicans seem to be in agreement with the deal. house GOPers' phones have been ringing off the hook not to deal. John McCain is accused of lending legitimacy to this insurgent movement. The president gets mad. Hank The Bank pleads with Pelosi for help.
about three hours ago - no deal. Sarah Palin still dumb. Barack still Teflon. John McCain still getting yelled at.

actually check that, it was about one hour ago there was still no deal.
there might not be one this week. the republicans in the house could stall this through sunday.

bless.

TOP 10 SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT SARAH PALIN

10. Sometimes Sarah calls John McCain “Grandpa.”

9. She stole that sexy librarian look from me.

8. Recently passed legislation to build a bridge to Funkytown.

7. Does great impressions of Tina Fey.

6. Favorite meal: moose nuggets and beaver jerky.

5. Working on “Knight Rider” spinoff about a talking snowmobile.

4. Favorite book? “Late Show Fun Facts” -– available at fine stores everywhere.

3. Once spent a week in the hospital after attempting to put lipstick on a pit bull.

2. To improve her foreign policy experience, she recently went to the International House of Pancakes.

1. Only person I know who’s not afraid to go hunting with Dick Cheney.

House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) angrily accused House Republicans — with the tacit support of Republican presidential candidate John McCain — of crafting an alternative to undercut Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.

Both McCain and his Democrat rival, Sen. Barack Obama, left without any joint endorsement. A beleaguered President Bush had to struggle to maintain order and reassert himself. And when Democrats left after the meeting to caucus in the Roosevelt Room, Paulson pursued them, begging that they not "blow up" the legislation.

The former Goldman Sachs CEO even went down on one knee as if genuflecting, to which Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal.) is said to have joked, "I didn't know you were Catholic."

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD BLOOOOOOOOOODEDDDDDDDDD

was just reading that Politico piece. I find McCain so incredibly revolting right now. I've talked to three people smarter than myself (on the economy, anyway) that I trust who say this thing needs to get done to avert catastrophe, and it sounded like this morning that Frank/Dodd et al had gotten lots of good changes in to make it more palatable.

Now McCain's ego drops in and shits all over everything.

from the same piece:

McCain could feel that same pressure. Having called for the meeting, he will have to show if can deliver the votes of House Republicans, many of whom have been leery of him in the past. Mindful of this, the senator’s campaign issued a brief statement an hour after the breakup of the meeting.

“We're optimistic that Sen. McCain will bring House Republicans on board without driving other parties away, resulting in a successful deal for the American taxpayer.”

what a jackass

shit is bonkers, what the hell is going on right now

this is standard-issue McCain - he's the dumb guy not doing any of the hard work who makes a pain in the ass of himself by rebelling against what everyone wants to do, talking a lot of smack in the process, then crashes and burns

Some Unity advocates have tried to coerce Hillary supporters by playing the abortion card. They argue that voting for a pro-life candidate like McCain is somehow ‘betraying women’ and ‘setting women back.’

It’s sexist to assume that women only care about abortion. That’s like suggesting that African-Americans only vote on welfare—kind of racist when you think about it.
