Ah, that Daily Show piece. Favorite exchange:

Daily Show Guy: The beltway's already saying that it was a wash.
Wasilla Dude: It was a wash? He's gay.
Daily Show Guy: Pardon?
Wasilla Dude: He's gay.
Daily Show Guy: The beltway, the washington insiders, they're saying it's a wash.
Wasilla Dude: They're all gay.

Did John McCain's "I have a pen, it's kind of old" non-sequitor from the first debate ever get explained btw?

Alex in SF, Wednesday, 8 October 2008 22:07 (fifteen years ago) link

It's as amusing as yesterday's hair joke.

I'd like him to explain how he goes about buying up a shitload of bad debt while freezing spending and not raising taxes.

Cool Hand Tiller (onimo), Wednesday, 8 October 2008 22:10 (fifteen years ago) link

whole plan seems idiotic. wouldn't the government then own both ends of the deal? they will have bought bad debt from the banks and then ALSO buy the homeowners' bad mortgages that represent money OWED to the banks? note: I am not an economist (and yet I feel like I have thought this out more than McCain has)

I'd like him to share his Bin Laden plan, even if he doesn't get elected, because I am VERY excited to hear it.

caek, Wednesday, 8 October 2008 22:28 (fifteen years ago) link

i know, he has a secret plan to kill bin laden! it's so awesome. wasn't it goldwater who had a secret plan to win in vietnam?

Nixon.

Alex in SF, Wednesday, 8 October 2008 22:41 (fifteen years ago) link

He was going to send Nixon to Vietnam to single-handedly defeat the Viet Cong? Talk about not having him to kick around anymore...

McCain's secret plan is to drop Kissinger from a plane onto Osama's hut.

. I suspect there is a feeling within the Obama campaign that the broadcast networks are less influential in the age of the internet and thus needn't be accomodated as in the days of yore. Even if it's true, they are only hurting themselves by dissing audiences that run in the tens of millions every night.

does obama not realize that the less he gives me a handjob the less americans will like him???

Fox News’ political reporter Carl Cameron is on the trail with John McCain. Reporting from a live McCain rally this evening, he said:

You’ll hear the booing behind me. In recent days, when Barack Obama’s name has been mentioned, it has gone from boos and hissing to actual chants and calls of traitor, criminal, and even terrorist.

The McCain campaign says they don’t condone it, they don’t want to see it happen, but it’s happening more and more every day.

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 9 October 2008 02:19 (fifteen years ago) link

kill him!

think about it, what kind of experience does obama really have? none. McCain clearly has more experience. people that say that he’s just like bush are wrong. McCain and bush are two completely different people.He was in the army and was held captive in war and could have been set free but to show is love for America he stayed. obama has no experience what so ever. this election is a historical election and no matter who we pick it will affect people like me that are only 15 in the future.And, people that say he’s a terrorist i personally don’t think he is to call him that would make me judgmental. Obama could be one though because he only wants power as most terrorist do. with all the gas prices going on and problems in the economy we really need to vote for someone with experience and will do good at this job.

That's where I hit pause and dunked my balls in witch hazel.

it's a super creepy thing to say.

can we have a new thread now? We're already at 5200+ plus, which is pretty good for a (relatively) non-clusterfuck thread.

"is barack obama a terrorist?"
"he's got the bloodlines."
"what does that mean?"
"just think about it. the name. his background."
