^^ kind of meaningless against a party that believes a fantasy version of history, if any at all, but worth remembering

Obama: I think its going to be part of the president's job to be able to deal with more than one thing at once

OH SNAP

ABC News' Tahman Bradley Reports: A senior University of Mississippi official reacted Wednesday to the news that Sen. John McCain R-Ariz., wants to postpone Friday's presidential debate, saying that such a move would be "devastating" for the university which has already invested millions in preparation for the debate.

Keith Olbermann will appear on Wednesday's "Late Show" in McCain's place.

he should rush out in the middle of the debate to tend to "the nation’s business" leaving a surprised and unprepared sarah palin to take over for him

i was gonna say he should send Palin to Congress to handle all this important economic business, lol

I probably don't share his taste, but lols at Obama's Brando and film criticism

Things just got interesting. From CNN:

McCain surrogate Sen. Lindsey Graham tells CNN the McCain campaign is proposing to the Presidential Debate Commission and the Obama camp that if there's no bailout deal by Friday, the first presidential debate should take the place of the VP debate, currently scheduled for next Thursday, October 2 in St. Louis.

In this scenario, the vice presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin would be rescheduled for a date yet to be determined, and take place in Oxford, Mississippi, currently slated to be the site of the first presidential faceoff this Friday.

pit bull still in training?

The Woman Hillary Always Wanted To Be

(very very strange About tab on that site)

there is totally going to be a bill by Friday

"Sarah Palin VPILF"

*vomit*

"My father is a trial lawyer here in Omaha, NE. He enjoys long walks on the beach, spandex, and seeing people run for their lives. Just kidding! My father is a family man who has always "walked the walk". Throughout my years growing up my father has shown me what it means to be a man, both by receiving many long and lengthy lectures, but also through watching him conduct himself in his marriage, his law practice, and in the community. While he hasn't always been the most social person (he left that up to my mother, who is also an extraordinary person), he has always been an ethical one. In fact, I have never met a man who has carried himself with as much honor and dignity as my own father."

those UN meetings didn't go so well, huh

so this is just a big ruse to get palin's debate rescheduled isn't it

like i said

pay no attention to the pig behind the lipstick

can't even imagine what the sitdown with karzai was like

Pakistani president couldn't stop talking about how hot she was

man, this day just gets better and better, doesn't it:

President Bush will address the country on Wednesday night in hopes of bolstering public, and hence political, support for the economic recovery plan, one on which the administration is now willing to make a major concession on executive pay.

that pakistani president article is hysterical

Only brief glimpses of Palin, running mate to Republican presidential nominee John McCain in the Nov. 4 election, were permitted as she met with leaders from Georgia, Ukraine, Iraq and Pakistan who are in New York for the U.N. General Assembly.

Palin, who as governor of Alaska lacks foreign policy experience, could be heard chatting politely during the fleeting seconds the media was allowed to witness.

"There's plenty to do here, isn't there? Plenty to see," said Palin to Iraqi leaders as she perched in an upholstered chair in a New York hotel, her hands folded in her lap.

"I have plenty to do at home also," replied Iraqi first lady Hero Ahmed.

The exchange was warmer at Palin's meeting with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, who greeted Palin with a huge smile, called her "gorgeous" and said he understood why many Americans "are crazy about you."

Palin told reporters the day was "going great."

"I obtain much hard one"

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/09/24/crash_class_for_palin_with_world_leaders/

Reporters were allowed in for less than a minute, and heard the self-proclaimed "hockey mom" of five discussing Karzai's only child, who was born in January 2007.

"What is his name?" Palin asked, according to a pool report.

Karzai replied that the boy's name is Mirwais, which means "The Light of the House."

"Oh, nice," Palin responded.

^^ karzai revealed as huge french house/late madonna fan

gf is trying to call in a favor to get us into the U of M debates and if top billin ends up being Palin v Biden it's going to be ;_; x infinity

"I have plenty to do at home also" is coooooooooooooooooold

that old kirkuk chill

Hahaaha if you see the footage of when the Paki Prez hits on her she looks soo uncomfortable like "oh i have to actually humor these brown ppl, ogling me!"

"I saw a guy who looked just like you selling hot dogs! r u related yn?"

No one's mentioned that this knocked the Rick Davis news off the headlines.

COURIC: But he's been in Congress for 26 years. He's been chairman of the powerful Commerce Committee. And he has almost always sided with less regulation, not more.

PALIN: He's also known as the maverick though. Taking shots from his own party, and certainly taking shots from the other party. Trying to get people to understand what he's been talking about--the need to reform government.

COURIC: I'm just going to ask you one more time, not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation?

PALIN: I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/24/pakistans-president-tells-palin-she-is-gorgeous/

Pakistan's recently-elected president, Asif Ali Zardari, entered the room seconds later. Palin rose to shake his hand, saying she was “honored” to meet him.

Zardari then called her "gorgeous" and said: "Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you."

"You are so nice," Palin said, smiling. "Thank you."

A handler from Zardari's entourage then told the two politicians to keep shaking hands for the cameras.

"If he's insisting, I might hug," Zardari said. Palin smiled politely.

RUN!

This election has been like the TV movie Earthquake... gawdy, often funny, nauseating, and endless

John McCain IS Chris Webber in the 93 finals

"If he's insisting, I might hug," Zardari said. Palin smiled politely.

Palin replied that she could see Zardari's erection from her house.

John McCain IS Chris Webber in the 93 finals

I have a feeling this came about after someone in McCain's campaign did the math:

um, wow - total public humiliation

oh, wow.

It's All About Sex!!! [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

This is silly — Campbell Brown accusing the McCain campaign of sexism against Sarah Palin. But, heck, Palin should do Brown's show too when she's done with the others. Maybe sometime after she just walks up to a press pen in the Big Apple and takes them all off guard for a few questions.

then after the inauguration me & sarah will do each others hair and talk about boys!! it'll be awesome!!!

that woman, wtf

Maybe sometime after she just walks up to a press pen in the Big Apple and takes them all off guard for a few questions.

Yeah, THE PRESS is going to be off guard.

Uribe Was Tutoring Her? [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

From the New York Times:

Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska completed Day 2 of her foreign policy tutorials on Wednesday, meeting with the leaders of Georgia, Ukraine, Iraq, Pakistan and India and engaging in small talk about her looks and New York City.

By contrast, when Obama — he, too, of little foreign-policy experience (and no executive experience) — went to the Mideast and Europe, it was described by the same paper as "high-stakes" and meant to "bolster" his creds, he was not being tutored by foreign leaders.
