Republicans hope they can ride Palin’s coat tails? Guess they haven’t seen the recent polls showing that her novelty is wearing off. Trying to sit on THOSE coat tails means your arse will hit asphalt rather than cloth.
I for one am against the ban on short-selling. I find it much easier to pick a loser than a winner. W - loser. Walnuts - loser. Snowbilly - loser. Snowbilly’s uneducated Hillbilly Dude - loser.
Our economy would be much better off if we just did the opposite of what ever those people say. And now that’s being taken away from us.
“Republicans hope they can ride Sarah Palin’s coattails to re-election this fall”
Is that like the Iditarod?
quote from McCain on the financial crisis:
“”Mismanagement and greed became the operating standard while regulators were asleep at the switch,” he said.”
Regulators, John? Weren’t these the guys you were trying to limit or get rid of? Funny that they weren’t doing their jobs.
Rush: It’s a new ride at Disney. Unfortunately, no one has the cash to buy tickets.
Every time John McCain says something about the economy, __________ mocks it.
Fill in the blank with just about anyone not involved with the McCain campaign.
I mean seriously, how to do you say someone is an advisor to someone else when they are not. Does no one care about the truth anymore at all?
Ah screw it, you heard it hear first:
“McCain is advised by two lesbian conjoined twins he banged in the Hanoi Hilton”
and from yesterday:
“Palin clubs baby seals when she could painlessly put them out of their misery from helicopter shootings”
Arrr…. Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day, me hearties!
In Barry’s defense, WcCain has never said anything, ever, about the economy that wasn’t imminently mockable.
Rush:
Sort of, except the lead dog gets the lipstick. If he’s lucky it’s
not the lipstick sticking out of the dog behind him.
Borat: It works pretty well with the bitters. Remember, these are the same people who will take as gospel anything they read in an email forward. If McCain says it himself, it might as well have passed the lips of Jesus. They’re not about to go do any research.
Borat:
I think better: “McCain is being advised by the Vietnamese and North Korean psychological warfare specilalists who brainwashed him over a period of 4 1/2 years in Hanoi. (He spent one year secretly studying Maxist/Lenninist Orthodoxy in Muscova Politechnik in the former Soviet Union.)”
“Every time John McCain says something STUPID about the economy, Barack Obama points it out.”

The librul mainstream media, including Wonkette, is avoiding the following important story:

Arr! I forgot!
Coattails in what respect, Charlie?
Hmm. Well, this is sort of “good news/bad news.” In good news, wow have polling numbers improved! In bad news, the likelihood of a tie in the electoral college is increasing, at least for the moment. http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/09/12th-amendment-update-tie-probability.html
Watch who you elect to Congress this year (most especially the H of R’s). If this thing ends in a tie, those are the bozos who will be making the decision for us.
Republicans hope they can ride Sarah Palin’s coattails. Period. Nudge nudge wink wink…
I’m just wondering what it’s going to take for McNasty to really show himself. He’s already getting testy with the media when they ask him why he’s such a lying sack of senile shit, but I want a full-on Alzheimer’s tantrum. If it didn’t happen when his running mate referred to their presidency as the “Palin and McCain administration,” I’m not sure what it’ll take.
silly republicans, palin doesn’t have coattails, she has that silly ice queen ski jacket. with the faux fur hoodie lining. in pink.
BobLoblawLawBlog: That pesky Miami reporter, insisting that Grampy discuss Spain instead of Mexico, definitely came close! More of that, please.
facehead: Um, a right-winger whining and crying because somebody made fun of/questioned/didn’t worship their insane fundy Ice Princess is not news.
BobLoblawLawBlog: The “Glasses!-WcCain Ticket” line was probably prepared ahead of time… the Repugs haven’t figured out that the finish on Glasses! sparkly persona has tarnished, and are still trying to keep her as front and center as possible… WcCain couldn’t inspire paint to dry, and they know it.
I’m just waiting for the National Security debate. If a question that diplomacy instead of war might be the smart way to go doesn’t send WALNUTS! into paroxysms of enraged old-man-hate, then he isn’t going to crack. Not publicly, anywho.
BobLoblawLawBlog: An uppity negro getting the best of him on national TV… arrr!
HomoElectus:
She has a flowing white robe.
Every time John McCain mocks the economy Barack Obama says something about it.
Rush: I think that’s called the Idiotarod.
pat buchanan’s cultural background finally emerged this am when he described wall street as “capitalist pigs”. i knew it, he’s a double agent.
HomoElectus: Her coat is not faux fur - it’s made from
the pelts of baby seals she clubbed and eviscerated in front of her children.
njdon: They need to rename it to the Republican Socialist Workers Party
njdon:
I watched some of Morning Joe this morning at the Gym. Two thing amused me:
1) The closed-captioner wrote “Charles Kraut Hammer” and “Hairy Truman.”
2) The amusing juxtaposition of the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and other major papers with their dire “Feds Rush to Avoid Financial Market Collapse” headlines and the NY Daily News with its full page A1 feature: “World’s tallest woman and shortest man take stroll through city.”
jodyleek:
You left out the part when she eats the raw, warm liver and the blood streaming down her chin.
Nothing inspires confidence in the financial system like opening manipulating the stock market.
Hm. Sarah Palin declining in polls? Ask me after the debates.
And it’s just as well that Carly Fiorina is now a non-person.
Every time John McCain says something about the economy, Barack Obama kills a kitten.
jodyleek: It’s actually called the Alaska Animal Abuse Festival. Or it should be. Disgusting snowbillies running dogs to death.
Serolf Divad: You know I just heard Juan McCain was trained at Lubyanka Square by Felix Dzerzhinsky. So you’re totally wrong when you say it was the Politburo. I have no evidence that it isn’t true, and an email saying it is!

I have no evidence that it isn’t true, and an email saying it is!
Then by the logic of Occam’s razor, it must be true!
