WTF

Meg Whitman (on Van Johnson) “I’m a huge fan of his. Very bright. Very articulate.”

Joe Biden (on Obama) “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,”

Did I miss the memo ... Is ‘bright’ and ‘articulate’ code for something?

- Don’t mistake Paris Hilton for a political liberal.
- She’s very politically conservative. Not socially, mind
- you, but politically.

And if I’m not mistaken, a good chunk of her money comes from the clothing business she created and the TV programs she produces and stars in. She stands to inherit 30 million when grandpa dies, but in the meantime, she’s working to make her own fortune.

- Looking at some of their public events, it is Obama that shows greater signs of, uh, uh, uh, senility.

Thank you Ohio
(Booooooooooo!!!!)
I mean Florida.
Sorry, been on the road alot.

Why is everyone so suprised? Hitchens was a member of the left that disagreed with his fellow travellers on the need to fight the war on terror in Iraq. For that he broke ranks with his comrades and backed Bush.

Iraq has been won, so he is free now to go back to what he naturally is; i.e a creature of the left.

Why is everyone so suprised? I’m amazed it took him as long as he did to go back to what he once was ...

- One other thing, the McCain camp has spoken to her and made
- it public. At this stage of the campaign they would go to
- great lengths to avoid being embarrassed. I think they
- confirmed it before making their voices public.

My thought as well. No way McCain bets the ranch on a potential hoax.

They’re doing the wave ...

- I think the pollsters are over sampling DEMS and many
- middle/lower class whites are afraid to say they are
- voting against the MILITANT because of the CONSTANT
- political correctness lectures by the propaganda
- ministry (media).

I agree with the oversampling claim, but I think the crux of the matter isn’t political correctness but the unions.

The unions are pushing hard for Obama and have layed down the law to their members that they have to vote for him. They have also contributed tons of money. If you are working in a union shop or are part of a union, your job depends on the union more than the employer.

The problem for Obama is that every time a pollster calls a union home, they will hear “Obama has my vote”. This isnt because the person polled will vote Obama, but the fact that the rank and file can not know 100% that the poll is truly a poll and not a loyalty test.

If the polls say that the election is within 4%, McCain will win in a landslide.

- The same Jim Cramer that said Bear Stearns was a great stock two days before it collapsed?

Exactly. Kramer has never been right about anything. If Kramer says the market is going to tank. it means its hit bottom and will start going up.

If you want to be rich, listen to Kramer and do the exact opposite.

This was one huge punt to the Senate. Both sides did not want this to pass and did not want to take responsibility for the bailout plan.

How do I know. look at my congressman ...

NY (R) Fossella votes yes

Yes, Vito “I have a love child” Fossella. If Vito wasn’t already out the door, there is no way in heck he would have voted for this.

All the vulnerable Dems voted no. All the Republicans who are unlikely to lose their seat or Republicans that were doomed to lose like Fossella voted ‘Yes’.

This was an orchestrated punt.

Ok Senate. whats you gonna do???

- Boehner “took one for the team”. It’s part of the
- strategy. The Repulicans are toying with the Dems now.
- It’s all good!!

I’ve been thinking the same thing. There is this whole last scene of the Godfather sort of vibe to the situation.

800 billion dollars = “potentially a lot of money” ??????

My big fear is that she’s a closet code pinker and rushes the stage

Michelle just gave the stage cooties

two questions
- No teleprompters correct?
- Is ‘duh’ a key word in CSPAN’s word cloud thingie?

Been laying dinner bets with all my lib friends with an additional “Landslide Lobster” rider

Clinton is now praising McCain and taking shots at the Dems
Morris = Clinton mouth piece

Look for more Clintonistas come out with knives drawn out. Clinton is trying to retake the Democratic party and the media will allow him to shape the narrative as “I was for Fannie/Freddie reform, Dems stopped me. BTW here’s the list of rotten Dems”

- Bill is indeed clearing the road for Hillary in 2012

Yep. Bill has a gun and all who screwed with Hillary’s nomination are going to start seeing little red dots on their forehead.

He did say he was going to campaign after CGI. He just didn’t say for who.

And don't forget the childrens ... no bailout will make all the childrens cry

Why cant we try a plan that first removes Capital Gains taxes, Sarbanes Oxley, Elimination of Sub Primes, and relaxation on certain accounting rules and use a smaller fund of lets say 100B to short term loans to companies that need them? Try it for 3 months and see what happens.

Why are they going straight to the socialist solution?

NO BAILOUT FOR WALL STREET

NO BAILOUT FOR FORD

NO BAILOUT FOR GENERAL MOTORS

NO BAILOUT FOR STUDENT LOANS

NO BAILOUT FOR CAR LOANS

NO BAILOUT PERIOD

- Obama says “If they need me I’ll go to Washington”
- What a clown.
* If that’s his words and attitude...then I’m really
* worried about a 3 AM call. This guy is NOT the right
* stuff. He is ALL THE WRONG STUFF for president.

There is also an implied dis. McCain did not ‘run away’ from Obama, he bailed on him. He basically said “Hey. I got more important things to do on Friday than chat with you. We’ll reschedule”.

Obama is an idiot. He’s running for PRESIDENT. Washington is supposed to be HIS TOWN. There is no “call me if you need me”. You want to be President? Act like a President! If you want to go, go. Don’t ask for permission. Act like its your damn town.

Do or no do. There is no try.

- BHO can’t suspend because he has to panhandle money.

Ding, ding, ding. Give that man a cigar .... Obama’s fixed costs are huge. Every day he’s not campaigning / raising money, he’s dipping into his kitty while McCain has all his chips.
