Or The View.

It looks like a local actors' playhouse cast filming "The View."

Another fabulous Ebert editorial:

lolz angry ebert

Ebert and Letterman are ready to roll on somebody.

would vote for this ticket

haha, ebert is all "HOW RUDE" a la li'l stephanie tanner

so is Ebert getting political now that he no longer has a show?

he was political when he had a show

R2000: Obama 51-42
Rasmussen: Obama 50-45
Gallup: Obama 50-42
Diageo: Obama 47-42

Yeah I seem to recall him writing a similar editorial four years ago as well.

Obama's also his senator

Would you write an offended editorial if McCain snubbed Boxer?

Obviously no one would care if it was Feinstein. I wouldn't be able to look her in the eyes either.

yeah would prefer not to "see into the soul" of Diane Feinstein thx

Don't underestimate my powers, Hewitt says:

The cringe-inducing bracelet moment has surfaced in just a few places, and McCain's dominance on the facts concerning Russia and his memorable "You don't do that" dismissal of Obama's threats towards our ally in Pakistan will get their full play this morning on all the talk shows, and of course Bill Bennett's, Rush's, Dennis', Sean's, Michael's, Mark's and my reach will instantly overshadow all the work done by CNN an

seriously, does that guy realize he sounds like a soviet?

haha and what's video "is a video response to Who would win in a fight?(Kimbo Slice -VS- Chuck liddell"

drudge is a hilarious orgy of horror right now

When The Corner starts going batshit on House Republicans, you know that the economy is truly fucked.

Bad for McCain [Ramesh Ponnuru]

Not that it's the most important fallout, but this vote is very bad for McCain. He was trying to get House Republicans on board, after all, and he failed. Blaming the Democrats for the failure will not and should not work, given the ratios on both sides.

Irresponsible Folly [Jim Manzi]

Well, apparently the House Republicans have decided to run a neat little experiment to test the actual odds of the current financial crisis turning into another Depression in the absence of a bailout plan. What alternative do they propose that could realistically be enacted? How long do they think this would take, and what risks would we run during the period of uncertainty, even if it were successful?

I'm Stunned [Rich Lowry]

Ahaha. I'm laughing through my tears of quaking fear.

this cheered me momentarily.

"1-800-282-2882" [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

That's Rush's studio line. Sarah Palin should call it between 12 and 3 EST.And just be herself.

k-lo, playing with dolls again

hahahaha keep it up you fucking loser

John McCain's campaign just weighed in on the House vote against bailing out Wall Street. "Barack Obama failed to lead, phoned it in, attacked John McCain, and refused to even say if he supported the final bill," McCain senior policy advisor Douglas Holtz-Eakin said in an e-mail to reporters. "This bill failed because Barack Obama and the Democrats put politics ahead of country."

"And I do look forward to Thursday night, and debating Senator Joe Biden," said Ms. Palin, whose uneven performance in interviews and unscripted events have sown seeds of doubt in recent days among some conservative commentators who support her.
"I’m looking forward to meeting him, too," she said. "I’ve never met him before, but I’ve been hearing about his Senate speeches since I was in, like, second grade."
"I have to admit, though, he’s a great debater, and he looks pretty doggone confident, like he’s sure he’s going to win," Ms. Palin, 44, said of Mr. Biden, 65. "But then again, this is the same Senator Biden who said the other day that University of Delaware would trounce the Ohio State Buckeyes. Wrong!"

biden has been in the senate for many years lmfao

that quote is fake*

*hopefully

“Some people have criticized my decision to put my country first, but I will never, ever be a president who sits on the sidelines when this country faces a crisis,’’ said Mr. McCain. And Mr. McCain, who spent this weekend in Washington working the phones, but did not actually return to Capitol Hill , said: “I know that many of you have noticed, but it’s not my style to simply ‘phone it in.’ ”

lololololol

barney frank on the hurt feelings crisis:

Barney Frank is completely in his element with this whole mess, isn't he?

(Xp) actually, she went to five second grades so stfu

X(

srsly is it a good idea for sarah palin to be making lol old jokes at joe biden?

Good ideas and Palin go together about as well as chocolate and tartar sauce.

no wonder she's so dumb, i mean if her second grade was spent focused on the speeches of joe biden. jeez, alaska!

Barney Frank is completely in his element with this whole mess, isn't he?

i just said that same thing to a friend this afternoon. his whole bearing is just like, i know this stuff, this is what i'm here for, amateurs step aside. (see also his exasperation at mccain's drop-in last week.)

i wish he was running for president simply for the lol factor but america is not ready for a 70-year-old queen to be president (ask hillary ba-dum-dum)

i just said that same thing to a friend this afternoon. his whole bearing is just like, i know this stuff, this is what i'm here for, amateurs step aside

Be careful about assigning him too much credit.
