It's a little funny. Way more grim, but still a little funny.

"no no, the McCain booze is aged in a damp cellar for 5 & 1/2 years"

Bill Magill, Thursday, 7 February 2008 21:28 (sixteen years ago) link

John Barleycorn McCain

Mackro Mackro, Thursday, 7 February 2008 21:35 (sixteen years ago) link

Ah, conspiracy theories:

We're told from a reliable source on the ground at CPAC: "They stuffed the main room with McCain supporters. But the overflow room booed him heartily, cheered when Romney was mentioned, booed when McCain said he hopes we forgive his absence from CPAC in the past."

Our source was sure to add: "There was forced applause by the supporters, but not the whole room; laughs and scoffs when he mentioned his conservative record."

The overflow room has 100+ people in it, we're told, with minimal (seven-ish) McCain supporters.

I LOVE THE CORNER:

It Needs to Be Said [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

This McCain speech would not have been given today, if it weren't for folks like Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Andy McCarthy, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham. Can I thank them on behalf of America?

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 7 February 2008 21:38 (sixteen years ago) link

Any port in a storm, Ms. Lopez.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 7 February 2008 21:39 (sixteen years ago) link

The McCain speech was pretty vile. This bilge about Democratic obstruction on FISA (when Jay Rockefeller and Harry Reid want to help McConnell as much as they can) is pure cynicism:

It is shameful and dangerous that Senate Democrats are blocking an extension of surveillance powers that enable our intelligence and law enforcement to defend our country against radical Islamic extremists."

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 7 February 2008 21:40 (sixteen years ago) link

Shouldn't we be happy about McCain's pending nomination in one way: it signifies a stake through the heart of the Rove-esque Republican revolution? At least McCain has shown he's been able to go across the aisle in the past. If Congress remains Democratic, won't that be a good balance, if McCain in fact becomes Prez? Granted, he's utterly horrible on the war.

Bill Magill, Thursday, 7 February 2008 21:43 (sixteen years ago) link

I didn't see the quote in the post preceding mine. Forget what I said. That's a fucking joke

Bill Magill, Thursday, 7 February 2008 21:44 (sixteen years ago) link

She means he's being pushed to the right to appease the right-wing talk show cabal? If it's true, and if -- a big if -- he has to keep pushing rightward though November, it might hurt him in the GE.

Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 7 February 2008 21:45 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah McCain has one of the worst records when it comes to privacy.

Rove is as independent as anyone. He could decide to be a Democratic strategist if he feels it will help him and those who wish him to do so. Insert "muahaha"s as needed.

Rove left the sinking ship last year, for all intents and purpose.

Mackro Mackro, Thursday, 7 February 2008 21:49 (sixteen years ago) link

um, no. Rove has been an activist, ideological Republican since he was young.

Apparently Tom Delay is complaining about the room-stacking right now on Cavuto's show. Poor boy.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 7 February 2008 21:56 (sixteen years ago) link

Clearly all three of them should present together. This is a golden opportunity not to be wasted.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 7 February 2008 21:56 (sixteen years ago) link

elmo argonaut, Thursday, 7 February 2008 21:56 (sixteen years ago) link

He's a populist, she's a hottie. Good match.

Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 7 February 2008 21:58 (sixteen years ago) link

and both crazier than a shithouse rat

gff, Thursday, 7 February 2008 21:59 (sixteen years ago) link

I really just love this because after all the serious/dumbass talk today at CPAC, what a contrast.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 7 February 2008 22:00 (sixteen years ago) link

Ned Raggett OTM.

Obama "suggests Hillary should release her tax returns, if she's going to be putting her own money into the campaign."

elmo argonaut, Thursday, 7 February 2008 22:09 (sixteen years ago) link

i really wish the media would stop with this BROWN VS. BLACK : RACE WAR! angle, it's almost as annoying as BLACK WOMEN IN CRISIS: RACE VS. GENDER from a few weeks back.

The Brainwasher, Thursday, 7 February 2008 22:10 (sixteen years ago) link

Rasmussen tracking Obama & Clinton tied at 44%

elmo argonaut, Thursday, 7 February 2008 22:12 (sixteen years ago) link

My mom called me up right after Romney's speech. "In this time of war? In this time of war? If I was there, I would have hit him in the head with a stick."

Eppy, Thursday, 7 February 2008 22:26 (sixteen years ago) link

And then we had an awkward conversation about the dems, since she's a Hillary supporter.

Eppy, Thursday, 7 February 2008 22:27 (sixteen years ago) link

Apparently she came out of the voting booth on Tuesday and said to my dad, "Canceled your vote!"

Eppy, Thursday, 7 February 2008 22:28 (sixteen years ago) link

hahahaha

Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 7 February 2008 22:32 (sixteen years ago) link

BREAKING

OBAMA GIRL DIDN'T VOTE!!!!!

gr8080, Thursday, 7 February 2008 22:32 (sixteen years ago) link

hahaha

dmr, Thursday, 7 February 2008 22:35 (sixteen years ago) link

so does McCain's virtual lock on the Republican nomination possibly help Obama draw in independent voters in the forthcoming primaries -- the Anti-Hillary effect?

elmo argonaut, Thursday, 7 February 2008 22:37 (sixteen years ago) link

hahahhahaha
