A Day For New Lows!

  • The Department of Homeland Security just began its new $634 billion dollar satellite surveillance program, despite some Democrats prattling on about how this thing violates “civil liberties” and “the law” or some such. [Wall Street Journal]
  • Obama’s new Mexican telenovela stars a little boy with cancer who can’t see a doctor because McCain wants him to have cancer, because that’s what Bush would have wanted. [Ben Smith]
  • Your President Bush has the highest disapproval rating in history! It’s 70% and even Nixon wasn’t quite as hated. [Political Wire]
  • Did you know despicable foreign fatcats from exotic Muslim lands are giving Barack Obama dozens and dozens of dollars?  [RedState]
  • Sarah Palin wants you to know she has a gay friend! And still, she loves her! Joe Biden, on the other hand, has a black friend.  [The Caucus]

    Red State is mad because Obama won’t release his bar application.

    Why not last weeks grocery list while they are at it?

  2. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 4:27 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Observatory Circle… Dupont Circle… coincidence?

  3. I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together. See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly. I’m crying.

  4. I would worry more about government surveillance, except, hell, look at veterans’ health care, road infrastructure, education, contracting, etc…you know they’ll cock it up big time.

  5. Delicious says at 4:29 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Palin is gonna pray that gay away!

  6. ihasasad says at 4:29 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Yes, she has a gay friend and her name is Dina Heath-Barr.

  7. Blue Line says at 4:29 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Who are these 30% that still approve of Bush?!

  8. Sussemilch says at 4:29 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Get your Sarah buttons: I Like Dyke!

  9. nurple: I think most of DHS’s effort will be aimed at the men’s rooms at the Minneapolis airport. So nothing to worry about…

  10. Guppy06 says at 4:31 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Ms. Palin: Well, I am all for contraception.

    Yeah, just not in the school curriculum. Or for her daughter.

  11. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 4:32 pm, October 1st, 2008

    The problem with government surveillance is that they always get it wrong. A friend of mine who recently had a run in with the Justice Department was laughing his ass off at all the wrong info they had… after spending a year in detention. :\

  12. Sarah Palin has a gay friend. How progressive. Sarah Palin should have a BLACK PENIS and then I’d be impressed, ’cause once you go Barack you nevah go bach.

  13. bitchincamaro says at 4:34 pm, October 1st, 2008

    $ 634 million to find out where our ports and borders are vulnerable to terrorism? Just buy the Rand McNally Atlas, highlight the entire thing and you’ve saved like, zillions, no?

  14. Jukesgrrl says at 4:35 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Will that satellite surveillance program let us watch Sarah Palin go to the drug store? Will be able to see what she buys? Will we be able to see Bush drinking? If so, the price is totally worth it.

  15. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 4:36 pm, October 1st, 2008

    FMA: Maybe for nurple, but that’s just going to kill my supplementary income.

  16. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 4:37 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Nixon didn’t stick around long enough to see his numbers tank. Of course, Dubya shouldn’t have either.

  17. Blue Line: Ya know! These are the people for whom mondern medical technology has intervened and who…had natural selection run its proper course…WOULD BE FUCQING DEAD rather than be among us to support BoyGeorge the Boy King With The Shit Touch. What else can this fucker ruin? Oh yes…there is still time to start a nuclear war Georgie Boy.

    Hey there Georgie boy,
    there´s another chance to fuck our lives,
    bring out all the hate you hide,
    you can always run away,

    Don´t be so scared of changing,
    and rearranging yourself,
    it´s time for jumping off of the cliff

    A little bit…

  18. mookworthjwilson says at 4:39 pm, October 1st, 2008

    If I click on a link where RedState links to Newsmax, will I catch whatever they have?? And if so, what do I need to do to get rid of it?

  19. Shrub is looking for a heckofa Truman bounce.

  20. Special Agent Jack Mehoff says at 4:41 pm, October 1st, 2008

    I find it utterly breathtaking that 30% of US Americans, such as, approve of thism guy still. wait i’ve got it, they are just assuming that the people they can’t contact (homeless, no phone, afraid to answer the phone because it’s the work of the devil, such as) are still in the tank for him.

  21. american mutt says at 4:45 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Please stop linking to RedState. I read their page and it just drives me crazy what they are so obsessed with alluding to. Liberals had their narratives about Bush bringing down the towers and now RedStaters are talking about Obama being the puppet of every brown skinned foreign leader in the world.

    Sigh.

  22. StephanieInCA says at 4:48 pm, October 1st, 2008

    I think you mean $634 million? Otherwise, I can solve the bailout funding problem right now.

  23. Truculent says at 4:53 pm, October 1st, 2008

    So what’s the big deal? You’re not doing anything wrong, nothing to worry about from satellites peeking into your bedroom, right? Keep the sex missionary, your thoughts right, don’t read books you shouldn’t, be respectful to the nice police officer, and if the Feds bust down your door at 3 AM, kill your dog and ransack your house, you probably deserved it

  24. StrangelyBrown says at 4:56 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Ms. Palin: Well, I am all for contraception…

    Funniest thing I read all day!

  25. Texan Bulldoggette says at 5:00 pm, October 1st, 2008

    You’d think Walnuts would have a little compassion for a Mexican boy with cancer. I mean Walnuts had cancer & he can see Mexico from his villa in Sedona.

  26. Q2: Who is to say she’s never had a black penis? Except that she’s never been outside Alaska, and there is not much black penis to be had up yonder.

  27. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 5:05 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Ha! This is awesome. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/30/politics/main4490492.shtml

    “A week ago, for [Palin] to just not drool on herself and be commanding would have been enough,” said CBS News consultant and former White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers. “I don’t think that’s really true anymore.”

    “The bar has gone up for her,” said Myers. “I don’t think it’s quite enough for her now to just get through it. She needs to show some mastery of a topic.”

    I love Dee Dee.

  28. spencer says at 5:08 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Cogito Ergo Bibo: Now the McCain campaign are going to spin that so that Dee Dee was actually referring to Trig and that she is mentally retarded-ist.

  29. btwbfdimho says at 5:16 pm, October 1st, 2008

    $634 billion to do (legally) what Nixon did (illegally) for pennies.

  30. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 5:17 pm, October 1st, 2008

    spencer: Could also be ageist. Grampy probably drools.

  31. magic titty says at 5:32 pm, October 1st, 2008

    mookworthjwilson: Do it. There are some fantastic comments being posted. Fantastic I say.

  32. Canuckledragger says at 5:53 pm, October 1st, 2008

    OK, $634 billion on the satellite shite, another $600 billion-plus just the other day on the annual military budget, plus whatever-the-fuck they end up spending on the bailou… sorry, “rescue.” Hmmm. Keep doing shit like this, and pretty soon you’re talking real money. Good thing y’all make so much dough and are so gleefully willing to pay yer taxes.

    BTW: Just like the Dubai Ports deal of yesteryear, Chicago’s second airport just signed a deal to be taken over…. no make that “run” by a Canuckistani firm that, with CitiGroup and ManuLife, now owns it…. no make that “will run it” for the next 99 years, by “lease.” If’n you’re gonna let ferriners run your ports and airports, why not just job out the satellite contract to the lowest ferriner bidder? North Korea, mebbee. Saves some dough, gets the job done, plane&boats&trains run on time. What could go wrong?

    And I STILL want to know why Dar Williams, in the ads on the left, is offering me a handful of dog turd? Is this some kinda “artistic” statement about how the Promised Land is now just a mittful of doggie dookie? Is puppy poo the new currency of choice down there? Coz if so, come the springtime, my yard will make me wealthy beyond my dreams. Next July, it’s Hobo Beans for EVERYONE…. ON ME! Offer expires August 1, when the snow flies again.

  33. Citizen Kang says at 6:13 pm, October 1st, 2008

    “…President Bush has the highest disapproval rating in history! It’s 70%…”

    I see Wonkette has made the mistake so many others have made by not adjusting for inflation.

  34. Hedley Lamar says at 6:22 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Canuckledragger: I’d take anything that Dar Williams offered me.

  35. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 6:33 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Me(t)h…in all the hoopla and falderol about The Economy, nobody but Elf Boy Kucinich is questioning the emperor’s new clothes, or how come hedge fund managers are getting bailed while hardly working Merkins are riding the rails for a can o’ beans.

    Why, eggsackley, are We The Peeps being asked to empty our pockets for the big Whigs - Michael Moore’s “richest 400 Americans [who] own MORE than the bottom 150 million Americans combined” - when the most of us is thrillin’ for a night out on the town, or just this month’s rent/mortgage/health insurance/gas credit card?

    Even fascist neocon CBS released a pall today that says most Merkins don’t approve of the golden parachute. (And, like FOX Snooze, CBS calls it a “split”; we old folks are gettin’ tired of laughing.)

    Barry needs to come out swinging, says I, and knock Ol’ Doofus on his squirrely rear! I’m just sayin’…

  36. Canuckledragger says at 6:37 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Hedley Lamar: Agreed. Except maybe a handjob…

  37. George Stephanopolous just said that Palin is “dragging down” the ticket! Amazing, sombody has noticed that she rides the short bus.

  38. ladymacbeth says at 10:11 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Canuckledragger: HAHAHAHAHAHA you got midway. worst airport ever on cicero avenue.

    oh wait i want to move to canada siiiiigggghhhhh
