Good heavens, that’s what he looks like AFTER a high priced make up artist works on him? He must look like the Cryptkeeper first thing in the morning.

I won’t begrudge McCain the $5000/hr makeup artist - he needs it!
Oh Juli - timing is everything.
Your headlines are always the funny, but they’re no match for Barry speaking to us peoples from Lovetron.

Ha ha. I just moved to Oregon in June. Fuckin’ Oregon.
Is it sad that I read the whole piece about Oregon and actually thought the Decemberists would have a mention?
Ben Bernanke Should Be Fired
$5,000 a session?! I’m sensing a disturbance in the Force — as though — as though — as though Eliot Spitzer was eating his heart out right now.
Oh Lipstick, just stop, stop.
But is the makeup artist a gayz? If so, phone number please. I hope he likes to take it and also can buy me a few new Armani suits
Well, that is certainly not racial transcendence.
Hell - it wasn’t even 5 years ago that we Oregonians took the part out of our state constitution that said black people, free or slave, were not allowed in our territory.
Bill Clinton should have used the Ramadan excuse - I am fasting and therefore cannot think or do anything to help you. Allu Akbar
It gets worse, people:
Sarah Palin: The interesting thing in the last couple of days that I have seen is that Americans are waiting to see what John McCain will do on this proposal. They’re not waiting to see what Barack Obama is going to do. Is he going to do this and see what way the political wind’s blowing. They’re waiting to see if John McCain will be able to see these amendments implemented in Paulson’s proposal.
No, Hairdo, we’re waiting to hear if McCain actually HAS a plan for the economy, or if he even knows what the economy is. So far we’ve seen no signs of either.
as a former Oregon resident who recently moved to South Carolina (for the gayness) I can safely say that Oregon was the most racist state i’ve ever lived in… i think people tend to forget that it borders the white supramacist/potato haven that is Idaho.
dippinkind: Waitaminute? You’re saying South Carolina is gayer than Oregon?
First time I’ve heard that. Used to live in Portland, OR. So the racist thing was maybe not real pronounced there in the big city?
Fire Henry Paulson
bill clinton can eat a bag of dicks.
Lascauxcaveman: You must not have been living in the PDX when the cops were running over possums (so as to kill ‘em) and then placing their lifeless corpses on the doorsteps of black owned businesses, mostly in NE Portland. In my frosh year at U of O in Eugene (People’s Republic of) you couldn’t get a copy of the Portland Oregonian without a front page story of another racist cop thing, or of a really gnarly wreck on the Banfield Freeway that tied up traffic for, oh, a day. The irony (ahh, delicious irony) is that the police commissioner at the time was Black, and even he couldn’t get the cops to behave.
Of course, this was in 1980 and early 1981, so since they got rid of Jim Crow and ratified the 13th Amendment things are much better now.
DangerousLiberal: When I moved from Eugene last year, the Register-Guard was still full of racist cop shenanigans. And Springfield, which is just across the river, has hosted a number of white supremacist and Christian Identity meeting over the last 10 years. Once you leave the Eugene city limits, Oregon gets kinda creepy real fast.
