A Practical Joke On All Of Virginia

  • Alexandra Kerry’s new book is full of Biblical metaphors and deep meditations about sneakers and is possibly better than Meghan McCain’s. [DC Examiner]
  • McCain tries and fails to flatter John Lewis into friendship after having ignored him forever. [Crooks and Liars]
  • Virginia thought its Tim Kaine had been picked as Obama’s VP for like three seconds but then, ha, no. [Political Ticker]
  • The Democrats are letting the Republicans corner the market on patriotism, because who can argue with patriotism? [AMERICAblog]
  • McCain can say whatever nonsense he wants, whenever he wants, and no one really cares at all, because everyone agrees he is a Maverick and a Patriot. [Ezra Klein]
  • Scott McClellan gives Obama some PR advice that includes leaving Scott McClellan alone. [Ben Smith]

    “Alexandra Kerry’s new book is full of Biblical metaphors and deep meditations”

    Are any of these about wearing a dress so sheer that all of Cannes can see your funbags? Cause if they are, I’m buying…if it’s a pop-up book.

    Ezra Klein thinks Americans are base and stupid. THAT’S NOT CHANGE WE CA–oh, wait.

    I was kinda wondering where McCain came up with Lewis. I guess now it turns out he just randomly picked him out of a hat. A hat full of black civil-rights advocates whom McCain has ignored for forty years. So my only question is this: why is John Lewis playing the race card?

    Scott may want to follow up his statement by saying, “pretty please.” Or at least say, “Can you give me what they gave Monica Goodling?”

    Okay, I know that his isn’t one of those touchy feely blogs where people (women) complain about their dh and shit, but after this crazy Zogby thing, and now yahoonews says in some poll Mccain’s up 5 points over Hopey….I need a virtual hug. Or prescription narcotics if anyone has some they’re looking to offload. HOW IS THIS NOT A LANDSLIDE?!!!!! This should be a freakin’ slam dunk for the dems and they’re blowing it!!!!

    irisheyes: Sorry my sweet, but the world is fucked up, our nation is irretrievably stupid, and we may as well get used to the suck, cause it’s not going away anytime soon. Vote, work, and donate properly, but try not to get your hopes up. I don’t think it’s ‘them’ blowing it so much as it’s ‘us’ getting exactly the government we deserve.

    Oh, and ((((HUGS)))).

    Fear of a Black Reagan: That needed a warning. Now I’m ghey.

    If Scott “Too Cute for Prison” McClellan really wants to save his ass, he’d better start remembering where some of the bodies are buried. Not like they’re not already spilling out of the crawlspace under the White House.

    If BHO picks Timmeh Kaine, they should just slap his picture on everything with no caption, so the Bitters will think it’s Jimmy Hoffa.

    confusionanddelay<: Fear of a Black Reagan: Thanks anyway. I opted to go the Pinot Grigio route. While I cook dinner and wonder if it’s too late to sell the house and move out of the country.

    “The Democrats are letting the Republicans corner the market on patriotism, because who can argue with patriotism?”
    I don’t know for sure, but I’m thinking just about anyone. However, if you want it done right, you’ve come to the right place!

    Lately it seems being an Obama supporter has an almost palpable sense of loss and the overwhelming sense of being unfairly set up by the manipulative Rethug/media. The Ron Paul Support Line understands, and welcomes you. They’ve been there, done that a year ago, and won’t even call you a Bamtard.

    My patriotism stole ten bucks from your patriotism. Your patriotism is pussy.

    Who else is feelin’ the new intern? Hey, Juli, want to go to lunch for free on a 40-something dude who is about as likely to hit on you as your grampaw? Assuming your grampaw isn’t a Republican, that is.

  16. SayItWithWookies says at 11:20 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Lazy Media: Hey grandpa, if you want to get a date — etgay ouryay iendsfray otay oostbay ethay itcounthay. A girl always appreciates that.

  17. “Some of her [Alexandra Kerry’s] memories of the [2004] campaign:
    ….
    –The campaign bus while campaigning in snowy Iowa: ‘Wet leaves lay buried like sediment under tracked-in road slush. I felt as if I’d stepped into the Old Testament scene in which Jonah hangs on for dear life inside the belly of the whale.’ ”
    ********
    How much, Alexandra, did you pay Robert Frost to ghost this prose? BTW: he been so very long time dead. OD’d on saccharine in 1961. Advice: cancel your check. David Brooks will be awful disappointed, but one hopes that he can take the hit.
