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

i like that we've gotten to a point in this election that whenever somebody says something crazy we just smile & act like it's totally normal & move on. like palin nodding at the end of that clip. how weird.

"the viewers get upset when people talk over each other"

'BAMA THE SOCIALIST!

democRAT

Congratulations on your investigative work. You may have just saved the country.

srsly who are these ppl

Jesus Christ, Republicans who see an unretouched photo and think "they're trying to make her look ugly! give her the dignity of an airbrush!" have gotta be the creepiest body-hate motherfuckers alive

I put a goddamn Obama sign on my lawn yesterday, couldn't stand the McCain sign across the street any more

bloodlines!

major lol at "the dignity of an airbrush"

Is that this week's Newsweek or have I missed it?

not to speak too soon but the ayers game doesn't seem to be very effective at influencing persuadable / "moderate" voters -- it sure as hell gets the hard-right pulse rate up but the undecided voter doesn't really seem to care too much -- how long will they continue to drill this point?

i mean it's just getting BORING

Wouldn't airbrushing the cover photo of Sarah Palin be sexist? Notice how the two girls against the cover are skinny and the one that doesn't think it's a big deal is chunkier in comparison. Yes, program me, Rupert Murdoch!

that photo is most definitely retouched - just not to the extent that every last wrinkle is erased

btw luv the alaska earrings

its is a somewhat unflattering photo - wrinkles being the least of it

Only thing I remember about the Weather Underground (from some book I read as a kid) was that at all their meetings they made everyone do acid so that if any straights tried to infiltrate they would be found out!

Unflattering how? In that it looks like her???

it does convey prob what theyre trying to say tho - shes looming in there rearing her head a little too close a little too weird

overall nice cover well done newsweek

well Americans have decided that they want to see Sarah Palin's head photoshopped onto sexy bikini bodies and this shameless turn to realistic representations just shows how out of touch Newsweek is.

dan its something to do w/the disorienting effects of the truncated face - its not how most people would choose to be presented - her expression is pretty creepy and of course the previously mentioned close up on wrinkles teeth etc that wouldnt read in a regular portrait

Meanwhile the White House prepares for the transfer of power.

so mccain's got some support in bolivia, venezuela and colombia

why is ganesh playing seesaw with the jersey devil?

I put a goddamn Obama sign on my lawn yesterday, couldn't stand the McCain sign across the street any more

One McCain sign went up a couple weeks ago across the street from my house; within a week there were like 15 Obama signs to counteract.

The Newsweek photo is kind of unflattering in that you can see Palin's mustache stubble which was deliberately non-photoshopped out.

I should say 15 Obama signs along the rest of the block, not in my yard.

Unsurpisingly, I don't see a lot of McCain signs in San Francisco but the last one I saw, on Fulton near 20th while on my way into Golden Gate Park, was in the window of a sad looking little apartment with its dingy shades closed on a gorgeous day. I chose to see that as an omen.

Oh right, Harry Caul's place.

In Chicago I've seen a bunch of newly-built or newly-rehabbed apartment buildings, all completely empty, with McCain signs in the windows. Seems about right.
