If you've been watching or reading the news, you know that things don't look good for John McCain. Of course, anything can happen today and polls aren't to be believed, so who knows what's going to happen.
One thing's for sure - the Republican's campaign got a bit of good news today after a second investigation exonerated running mate Sarah Palin of any wrong doing in the "Troopergate" scandal:
(Interview starts at 3:00)
While the rest of you were getting wasted at your pre-Halloween bash at Citrine *cough cough*, Rachel Maddow spent her Thursday night interviewing Barack Obama about why he never singularly attacks the GOP or Republicans, but almost always goes after the Bush administration specifically.
Maddow would be a little more convincing as a professional journalist if she could wipe that big grin off her face, but we still love her bunches. After all, she's what makes this The Year of the Woman.
Sherri Shepherd, bless her heart, reared her slightly empty head today on The View to stand up to resident crazy Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The ladies' Friday show was pretaped, so today they threw in extra chirping about Thursday night's debate. Can you guess who Elisabeth thought did the best job? She tried to convince the other women, which is when Sherri "I haven't thought about whether the earth is flat or round" Shepherd got riled up and spewed some semi-coherent thoughts for the first time in her life. We never thought we'd say this, but: Good for you, Sherri!
This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I watch The View morning after morning in hopes of witnessing something amazing. Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the moron who gives Republicans everywhere a bad name, had a minor meltdown during the show's first segment today. She was so beyond help that not even Barbara Walters came to her rescue. The topic, of course, was the idiocy of Sarah Palin, which turned into another session of Elisabeth spouting off nonsensical remarks to defend her beloved McCain/Palin ticket. After Barbara correctly likened Palin's preparation for the debate to a high school student cramming for an exam, Elisabeth became extremely angry, which is when this happened (inciting a round of boos from the audience):
Even the Republicans have had enough. Here's an excerpt from "Palin Problem," an article by writer and frequent Bill O'Reilly guest Kathleen Parker, published today on National Review Online:
It was fun while it lasted.
Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.
We have good news and we have bad news. First we'll start with the good: Shrewish conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck is considering leaving her chair at The View round table. The bad news: She's still going to be gracing our television sets.
Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan realized very quickly her off-camera remarks on MSNBC — where, during a commercial break, she supposedly declared McCain's campaign "over" — would be getting her into trouble. It took just three hours before her live mic conversation during a segment break with Chuck Todd and Mike Murphy made its way to YouTube, and just a little while longer for her to pull together a half-hearted apology. Why her remarks caused a stir, she says, she "must plead some confusion." Though let us help clarify: Everyone immediately saw her for the two-faced commentator she likely is, supporting conservatives in print while bashing them behind closed doors. But that's not how it was, says Noons! And we're taking her "it's over" comment completely out of context. CONTINUED »
Republicans Larry Craig and David Vitter made headlines last week after cosponsoring a Senatorial act “protecting” marriage from the vile homosexual beasts.
This is hilarious, of course, because the men both had extramarital excursions last year. Seizing the absurd moment, Patriot Boy mocked up these faux ads mocking the hypocritical politicians.
Brilliant!
With his $28,500 contribution, the maximum legal amount, to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the News Corp. chief once again sends onlookers into a tizzy trying to figure out his political leanings. His deputy, COO Peter Chernin, donated less than half that amount in November to to Democrats' committee, which is charged with electing constituents to the Senate.
Between Gossip Girl and Project Runway , you may have forgotten about last night’s YouTube Republican debates, where "You" were the star. The show had its high points, but drew some criticism for continuing to go on even while "You" were busy contemplating whether mismatched couple Serena and Dan (and a dozen or so wanna-be designers) could "make it work."
