it was posted pretty early on, like, the morning the selection broke, to ILX if i remember right - maybe someone can find the link in the veep thread? seeing as dr. c doesnt know with whom it originated, i wouldnt be surprised if it was an ilxor or lurker who made it, posted to flickr and linked it here

Gov. Sarah Palin says Sen. Barack Obama just might regret not picking Sen. Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential running mate.
Palin

In an exclusive interview with ABC News' Charlie Gibson, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin says Barack Obama may regret not picking Sen. Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential running mate.

"I think he's regretting not picking her now, I do. What, what determination, and grit, and even grace through some tough shots that were fired her way -- she handled those well," the Alaska governor told Charles Gibson in her third and final exclusive interview with ABC News.

Well done, sir.

Alaska lawmakers vote to subpoena Todd Palin

By GENE JOHNSON – 50 minutes ago

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaska lawmakers voted Friday to subpoena the husband of Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate, in a move that transformed a messy state personnel issue into a national campaign controversy.

i looked at dr. c's, i know he got the name of the account that posted it but he doesnt know who that person is in real life. who else would be going through his flickr? I figure ilxors

Sen. Charlie Huggins, a Republican from Palin's hometown of Wasilla, appeared in camouflage pants on a short break from moose hunting to cast his vote. He lamented the political maneuvering that he saw as trying to interfere with the investigation.

"I see all this duck-foot action under the water," Huggins said. "Let's just get the facts on the table.

love this - duck duck moose

the bill

shame on you, brad

who else would be going through his flickr? I figure ilxors

I don't know any ILXors named Naomi. My best guess is that Naomi just did a Flickr search for "American flag bikini."

loooooooooool SHAME ON YOU BRAD

brad?

stop being obstructionist jaymc ILX MADE HISTORY

they're ref'ing to that youtube link where Melber hands Brad whatsisname his ass

The "McCain is a scumbag" narrative could do some good work. It's not going to move people who love war and torture and rich people, but this thing is close enough that even nicking a few would be good.

hahaha that bill is awesome

"If you teach a comprehensive sex education class to K - 5, you must teach them about preventing HIV." lololololol

I like that the Republicans apparently don't understand what "age-appropriate" means wrt this thing

they understand perfectly

I mean, complaining that McCain is a scumbag can work because he's running a campaign on his character, not the issues, as his team has proudly put it. Whereas complaining about Little Bush's bullshit in 2004 didn't go far because Little Bush was running on the war and the view that it was better to stick mid-war with the guy who owned the war, rather than "dangerously" switching to some newcomer.

(xp) well duh, my point being that I like how, in the name of winning an election, the Republicans are trying to convince America that they are idiots

http://i37.tinypic.com/ta1ll2.jpg

luckily he threw out a bunch of lying crazy bullshit in early september and not late october! now the democrats have a solid two months to call him a desperate liar and his running mate a thin-skinned incompetent with a bunch of mccain-supplied tape as proof.

xp dan yeah i know im just pissed

never get tired of that Jay-Z clip

i vote that that gif makes an appearance on this thread every 50 posts

I just love how the black guy in the crowd goes nuts at it.

A letter on Sully's blog:

The liberal bloggers have become McCain central. They make people click on his ads, make the world spin around him instead of focusing on our candidate and what he is trying to do. There is ZERO coverage of what Obama is actually doing every day talking tough on the issues. There is ZERO coverage of Biden (who is on the trail but the blogs don't seem to care or cover him unless he is doing what they think he should be doing. Sadly AFP did cover him this week and people seemed to be too busy saying he was not doing anything to include the link with his forceful comments against McCain. The one time the blogs linked to Biden---when the MSM tried to make a big deal out his answer to a question that made Hillary look bad and he defended her. That was it).

McCain and crew realized early this cycle that they did not have a visible internet presence. So what did they do? They took over the liberal presence, they are manipulating the leading liberal blogs , just as they manipulate the MSM. All to their own advantage. And the blogs have all fallen for this hook, line and sinker. Does no one realize this?

They are all being played.

And Obama, god bless him, he gets it. As does his team. while everyone whines he keeps at it every day with much much class and like a laser focused on the issues. The problem is not Obama, is that no one wants to follow his lead. Instead they are following McCain-Rove and they don't even know it.

I agree with that, although it's good for a few people to be focused on McCain. Lately I've been having to look more intently than I used to, to read about what Obama was doing that day.

re: Palin in bikini - I first saw it when it was posted to the Vice Presidential spec thread by am0n. I figured as you guys did that am0n was an ILXor who knew my flickr for some reason and that it was just one of those quickie photoshop jobs intended for ILX (in the spirit of, you know, Santorum & Entourage)... but now it seems apparent that InnocuousFun created it and posted it to Facebook, from which friends forwarded it to friends to friends, I figure am0n picked it up at that point and it reached this thread...

My main problem at this point has to do with people selling merch based on the image on ebay, cafepress etc. Going to be doing some faxing tomorrow, I tells ya..

I first saw the Palin/bikini-gun pic in last week's (London) Sunday Times!

i though it was real ;_;

Barack Obama is scheduled to appear on “Saturday Night Live” tomorrow night, but he may pull out if Hurricane Ike devastates Houston, Texas, "SNL" creator-producer Lorne Michaels told Politico on Friday. “If it’s serious, it will change everything for us,” he said. “The tone of the show will shift, and it would be inappropriate for the senator to do if it looks in any way like it’s going to be a tragedy.”

In addition, plans are in the works for "SNL" veteran Tina Fey to guest star as GOP vice presidential pick Sarah Palin, but a confirmation of Fey’s participation will come Friday night after she figures out if it will interfere with weekend shoots for her own program, “30 Rock.”

oh man i can't wait for obama on SNL (if it happens)

omg this interview is embarrassing

Obama's cancelled his SNL appearance.

So... who pays?

Households making over $250,000 pay - they revert to the tax rate they had before Bush's tax cuts

I love that he says the McCain campaign has the "clout" - a good old Chicago word that Nelson Algren would have been proud to hear him use

Dwelling on the $2.8 million figure felt like misdirection. And increasing taxes on the over-250 set but cutting taxes for every tax bracket below that is at best breaking even, right?

what part of 'my plan is a net tax cut' didn't you understand?

What part of "So... who pays?" is at all answerable?

who pays for what?

Do you want us to cut and paste stuff here for you, too, kenan? Sheesh.

Your condescension is noted.

who pays for what?

Health care is my pet issue, as I do not have any, and suddenly I'm finding out how shocking the sticker price on a bottle of pills can be. Obama's plan is hell of expensive -- like, military expensive. I'm thinking he's planning to pay for it with something that a lot of people won't like. I'm wondering what.

How can anyone from any planet be the next president and NOT raise taxes?
