BAAAAAAAAAAAAALZACK

The 44th president's world has been turned upside down in a matter of months, and literally on the eve of the election.

literally

quite literally the night before america goes to the polls

it is an article from the future

guess what dan balz can suck

your penis?

i was thinking my balls ;___;

so close!

oh jesus christ fuck you lou dobbs fuck you fuck you fuck you

"why did the democratic party not condemn john lewis's insinuation that john mccain and sarah palin and the republican party are racists?"

motherfucker giving me indigestion

what ru on about

For the last twenty minutes he's been doing this infuriating panel where he berates the Democratic strategist and demands "one example, just one" of McCain rhetoric that's are comparable to Wallace. The strategist provides two or three and Dobbs cuts him off saying "No. No" and switches to the other guy before coming back around to the Dem saying "but why won't your party repudiate the words of John Lewis who is clearly insulting and ignorant of history in this case?"

hoos why the hell you watching dobbs?? come on now

Dear Hoos,

Stop watching CNN.

Thx bro,

ILX

Honest question: how many people watch Dobbs? Is he influential? I mean, HOOS is OTM in his loathing of Dobbs, imo, but how much weight do his racist, disingenuous opinions carry?

yeah dude switch it to msnbc-- olbermann's on ^_^

I'm at work, can't change the channel.

At least this is better than Fox which the CFO has had us watching for the last two months.

But there's a wider point here, surely -- and that is that plenty of people who are less decided than HOOS or most of us here do watch Dobbs. It worries me, to be honest, and I'm not usually prone to sky-is-falling despondency.

coop should be on soon-- everything will be okay

(Okay, sometimes I'm prone to sky-is-falling despondency.)

As Rachel Maddow says, talk me down!

Yeah but Dobbs is bookended by Blitzer & Brown who, if nothing else, aren't overtly racist cranks. xxp

“When times are good, people say they want someone like them to be president, but when times are bad, they want someone who can solve the problems, no matter how unlike them he is,” says the Obama confidant. “FDR was hardly a fucking man of the people, you know?”

SIR-

I don't see what the big deal about that quote is.

hilarity from west plains, mo

Blitzer

No, he's just the most inept moron on any of the cable news networks.

so troopergate/branchflower isnt getting any traction is it

Nope.

Mostly, I think, because Obama's not running with it.

she said something similar elsewhere recently, after the emmys I think, and said "anything anyone can do to make sure I don't have to play this woman after november, please do it". so I take it this refutes the sometimes repeated claim that she is a republican (well maybe she is/was and is just not INSANE).

granted, it's only been a day since the initial statements from troopergate.

It won't make much a diff anyway, unless something really weird happens, and Sarah Palin gets convicted of something. Even if Todd is convicted, no one who's a Palin supporter will care.

re: Fey. Please hollywood, don't dare people to send you away from Earth. I love you, Tina, but no.

palin clears palin:

i think obama would prefer to not bother acknowledging palin beyond a few subtle swipes and let her do his work for him.

Palin is doing God's work, omar. Oh...wait. I think I see a connection.
