HA, Bill Kristol’s column is like seriously not bad today. Hooray! This is because he writes about actual political strategy and not about how Obama is Hitler at the War Dildo. And he has a scoop, from his friends who work for McCain. Oh neat a scoop.
Of course, the truth is probably the opposite, because it’s Kristol, but myah:
John McCain apparently intends to announce his pick after the Democratic convention. There’s been thought given to announcing McCain’s selection the day after Barack Obama’s Thursday night Aug. 28 acceptance speech, to try to minimize Obama’s postconvention bounce.
But the current inclination is to wait until after Labor Day weekend, which ends with President Bush’s speech Monday, the first night of the G.O.P. convention. Then the McCain camp would hope to seize attention Tuesday with the V.P. announcement. A strong pick, followed by the V.P. nominee’s remarks Wednesday and then McCain’s speech Thursday, could provide a good launch into the last 60 days of the campaign.
Oh poor George W. Bush, not getting any respect. We like Bush more than McCain these days, since he will presumably be gone forever in a few months.
… UNLESS HE’S VICE PRESIDENT?
Just floating it.
Anyway, good job this week Kristie, you complete fucking piece of shit war criminal! HA HA HA!!!
How to Pick a V.P. [New York Times]
I betcha it’s gonna be that elephant they were whoring around in that RNC pamphlet. McCain/Dumbo ‘08!
Must be a scoop full of dog shit. Since it is about the Republican convention, it is.
… UNLESS HE’S VICE PRESIDENT?
Please. You just made my blood pressure recreate the scene from Giant - the one where the oil comes in.
A moment of clarity in a storm of bull shit.
Absolute STAPLE Krystol:
“…the normally garrulous become guarded and the usually talkative turn taciturn…”
This pig-fucker, as one of his habits, enjoys coming up with one brilliantly timed sentence for which the rest of the column can take a sudden, but steady downhill course to retarded. Keep it up, ass hat.
“… UNLESS HE’S VICE PRESIDENT? Just floating it.”
Yes, that’s what I call a ‘floater’.
A scoop??? Of scotch??? Here’s a preview of redfaced Bill Kristol’s column next week:
“What’s the difference between top-shelf vodka and bottom-shelf vodka? A couple dollars! Oh btw: Obama is the devil. Over and out, Billy K. PS: where did I put that flask?”
holy runaway underlining batman
…geez, how much strategy do you need to lose?
You don’t think McCain will be gone in a few months too?
Dr. Spaceman: Ha ha of course not! the whole point of presidential elections is for Republicans to win them.
AhahaHA, the Bush for VP thing made me really LOL. It’d be a teensy bit hard for McCain to claim he wasn’t Bush Mark II.
Pooper Scooper.
AngryBlakGuy: …considering the Al Gore and John Kerry campaigns, I take that back!
Giving Kristol credit for intelligence when he’s just stating the obvious is, in my opinion, being far too generous.
If he’s not going to go out on a limb and say it’s the magic underwear guy, the exorcist from the Brady Bunch, the gay governor with the unnatural shade of skin, the gay Senator from South Carolina who’s always standing right behind him and whispering in his ear, or the Alaskan GILF, he can just STFU, for all I care.
“… UNLESS HE’S VICE PRESIDENT?”
Worse than GW Bush as Vice President. What if McCain selected Cheney to continue his fine career as v.p.?
And on Friday McCain and his VEEP will be greeted as liberators.
Advocatus_Diaboli: I for one welcome our melanoma-riddledd, Paleolithic liberators.
“And he has a scoop, from his friends who work for McCain. Oh neat a scoop.”
Sucker. Robert Novak got some ‘Inside Scoop’ about McCain choosing his VEEP a few weeks back. Then he figured out they were playing him for a patsie.
Then, of course, he drove around in his car with a homeless guy as a hood ornament and got brain cancer.
It won’t be an actual person. It will merely be a homogenized social construct sure to win him the election.
He’s currently choosing between “McCain/Nation of Bigots ‘08″ or “McCain/Collection of Bitters ‘08″.
It’s whichever rolls off the tongue, really.
shortsshortsshorts: Practicing Kristol-speak: The plangently uxorius wax wroth, and swim nascently among the brachycephalic trilobites.
Does the International Court of Justice have jurisdiction over excrement? I would be careful alleging he is a piece of shit; rather, your complaint should plead that he is a human being who resembles, acts like, etc., said piece of shit. Ipso facto. De minimis non curat lex. Oh, and hocus pocus, too.

That’s some shitty phrasing.
Especially if Obama picks a man, rejecting hope and change in favor of the same old patriarchy — won’t McCain be tempted to say: cherchez la femme?
Kristol Meth is stealing from Maureen Dowd. She wrote a column called “Hillary la Française, Cherchez la Femme?” back in October. Hey, maybe McCain can pick Senator Clinton as a running mate. She’s not doing anything this fall.
I was hoping for two scoops of raisins. Damn.
Terry: He has again vetted the list, and still it looks as if he’s the most qualified candidate.
shortsshortsshorts: I don’t know, short shorts, I’d think “talkative turn taciturn” is a phrase most people would avoid. Even if you manage to say it without screwing it up, it sounds like you have a stutter.
McCain will announce his VP after the DNC to minimize Obama’s bounce? Isn’t that what trumped up terror alerts are for?
If I were McCain, I would announce my choice during Bush’s speech, to take attention away from the millstone around his neck.
Cape Clod: Hey, if we’re lucky, it could happen again. The brain tumor that is, no need to harm innocents.
