Wonkette
We wondered when what’s his name, Obama, might mention how John McCain and his lobbyist boyfriends caused the previous collapse of America’s financial system — ha ha, not the Great Depression, but the Savings & Loan collapse. Full horrific video at noon tomorrow. Expect Sarah Palin to immediately show up somewhere and accuse Barack Obama of eating “soul food.” Oh and make sure to read a few of the insane comments on the Wall Street Journal story. [Keating Economics/Wall Street Journal]]
Oh, sweet. There needs to be more Howell Heflin in campaign ads.
Wonkette is so in the tank for non-insane economic policies.
Look who’s Obambi now. Walnuts will likely go ape shit on Barry Tuesday night because of this. I can’t wait.
Seems fair enough, if they’re going to go after Obama over shit that happened when he was 8, things that McCain did back when he was 108 are game.
Who cares if WALNUTS! did some dirty shit with other people’s money 20 years ago and never learned his lesson, didn’t you hear Obama’s black? I mean, c’mon people, a black guy might win the presidency! Crackers unite!
The website would be better if the user interface was not so full of fail. Buttons you need to click on to scroll text? 1997 called, they want their web page back.
Hunter Gathers: I think Drudge has decided, in the interest of diversity, to feature photos of black people everyday until Nov. 4…
Actually, the election is Nov. 5. Spread the word, Obama supporters!

Godless Liberal: Why was Obama blowing up Washington D.C. with bleach and lollipop bombs made by William Ayers Mormon Family of terrorist bomb-setter-offers when he was 8?
Oh Great Plaque Plug in McCorpse’s carotid artery…I command you…DISLODGE…NOW!
Not sure this is explicit enough. Couldn’t it say: “John McCain took money from criminals to change his vote”? If you’re enough of a political junkie to recognize Keating in his prison jumpsuit, you’re probably paddling around in The Tank already.
…th’bess thang that jumpin jack mcnuggits ever did was git his ass shot down by godless screamin commie hordes who coold torture him inta some kinda hero… too bad fer mister an missus america an all th’ships at sea he hadda crash 4 planes an set far t’an aircraft carrier t’git even that far, seein’s how th’transfermation didn stick… backslidin, he ditched his crippled waf th’same way he might ditch a crippled plane, an made hisself inta a senater from th’yawning chasm state… airyzoner, ah luvs ya fer yer stark natchral beauty an yer native merkuns, but fer th’rest of it, shee-it… airyzoner, whar if they doan lak th’truth yer tellin, they mat jess blow up yer car wit a bomb… airyzoner, whar enny son an grandson of an admirl kin meke hisself inta th’heroic benefactor o’the wat-collar bank-robbin set… but wha’ss a navy feller t’do, they ain’t got no salt-water fleet, not even enny swift boats…
What was Ken doing up at 7:30 AM? Please say all-night coke binge. That’s how real men run a blog.
I used to like the WSJ, recently its become a piece of crap (probably something to do with Rupert). I’m surprised our supreme leader Paulson allows such dissent in the comments section. What’s going on. OMG, News Corp has been hit by the crisis and can’t afford to pay some of the thought police anymore.
About fucking time! WALNUTS! has gave Obama an elephant gun, why it has taken the Dems so long to pull the trigger is beyond me. GOP Maverick = crook with a short memory.
Delicious: Ah Drudge, King of the Crackers. Oh please drop some more of your awesome white knowledge, my king! We are in need of your ‘reporting’. There are some lazy white guys at the Washington Post who need your help.
slappypaddy: You’ve got the language of the bitters down pat. Now if you could only publish a Bitter to English dictionary, you would make a mint.
disgustedcitizen: “why it has taken the Dems so long to pull the trigger is beyond me”
Because our lovely 24-7 MSM is the number one cause of ADD. Hell, even I don’t remember what we were talking about last week (is that moose huntin’ broad still around? she makes my big toe shoot up in my boot!). When you drop the hammer, you do as close to election day as you can.
Fucking finally!
Plus, anyone else read this?

Incredible…what an all-out balls-to-the-wall asshole.
Looks like obamas got some other things he can hit McFail on. The metaphorical knife is already in his campaign this will just twist it to finish the job.

BobLoblawLawBlog: That piece is hands down the most definitive de-bunking of WALNUTS! I’ve ever come across. While I learned nothing new, it’s the first time all of the old man’s bullshit was cobbled together in non-book form. Absolutely devastating. HST would be proud.
Oh also this little thing. The harpy is also on tv right now. She just said Florida my state knows how to turn a underdog in to a victor. I didn’t know voter fraud was a legitimate way to win a election.
http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/10/palins_attack_on_obamas_patrio.php
BobLoblawLawBlog: yep, and that 17% who still believe in Bush’s greatness will vote for McCain/Palin in the deluded belief that they represent their family values…pretty gross, when you think about it
Now that Tina Palin has redeemed herself in the debate, the McCain campaign is comfortable using her as their attack dog–after all, isn’t she just too cute when she foams at the mouth?
Except, she’s a retard.
I guess the Rs figured the Democrats were such wimps that no one would ever get around to mentioning the Keating Five.
Now if only someone could find a video of Sarah shooting baby seal pups from a helicopter.
Worlds End: damn, she’s stupid…
WTF is she saying right now?
Are the Wall Street Journal commenters always so uniformly pro-Obama. Awesome!
she just said god blessed Florida with energy LOL
And Obama should turn it up, with ads about G. Gordon Liddy (McCain’s Ayers) and first dud’s membership in the radical extremist group, AIP. Steve Schmidt is a stoopid fuck.
Those comments at WSJ were craziness. You know when the tide is turning? When the all caps diatribes and irrelevant comments of whom I can only imagine are schizophrenic, morbidly obese shut-ins switch from ACORN/AYERS/REZKO?MUSLIM!!!OMG!!! to KEATING/AIP/LIDDY/DISHONORABLE!!!OMG!!!!. Even sites like Politico have developed a new population of crazy, liberal trolls who cut & paste comments and form letters with content against McCain/Palin, rant uncontrollably against Palin, and perform counter-troll attacks against the remaining conservative relics. It’s hilarious when the pro-McCain trolls are like, “Hmmm…sinking ship? Fuck it”, and it warms my shriveled black cockles. Such progress!
Don’t get me started on the full-sentenced and well-reasoned comments with words like “milieu” and “intellectual” strewn about AS IF ANYONE KNEW WHAT THOSE WORDS MEANT. Too bad I’m probably going to be spending my free time in a bread line or this change might have been enjoyable.
She has got to have some kind of mental handicap. She also just said the couric interview was just to give tina fey material. Now shes bringing up Ayers agian.
disgustedcitizen: t’peeps got th’short memry, iz what it iz… barry’s th’master tactician, knows if he’d a-fired the keating blast too early, it a-been a waste, dissipatin, its force all gone before lection day… careful timin’s th’thang…
Well now shes sucking Regan’s metaphorical cock again.
Hunter Gathers: …now, thar’s a thought…
disgustedcitizen: I think it comes down to timing. If Barry had swung with this over the summer, McCain could’ve struck back with some of the (admittedly more frivolous, but how many people do you really think can distinguish?) mud he has been busily dispatching. Now that Grampy has done his worst, Barry can step out and say “Well, that’s all very interesting, but how about these real felonies you were involved in?”
What a Team of Mavericks!
You know, i spent a bit of time browsing the wsj comments section, which i expected to be a mudwallow of wingnuttery, and i was pleasantly surprised.
The true believers (Obama is not a U.S. citizen, Obama is a Hitler clone, etc…)were few and far between and, outside of them, there was no love for Johnny Walnuts whatsoever.
Of course, we can’t slack off, but it’s the fourth quarter, we’re up by 3 touchdowns, and even their cheerleaders are exhausted.
The stupidest part about Bible Spice’s attack is that she is using the NYT as her source. THEY ARE IN THE TANK.
Obama has clearly been waiting for McFalin to bring up his allegedly questionable associations. I have doubts that they cobbled this whole website and documentary together in a weekend.
I am glad that he isn’t going to take it up the ass like Kerry did. Viva la negativity!
Finally the pigeons come home to roost. Happy guano dodging, John!
Worlds End: actually God blessed Florida with teh Early Bird Special.
Uh oh! Dow drops below 10,000. Investors head for the ledge.
BobLoblawLawBlog:
Some familiar old stories, as well as more contextual material to make us realize what a pampered, conniving, vicious old shitbird Walnuts is. Great stuff, and hopefully damning evidence.
stew: Tent cities for some, miniature American flags for
others.
PS==
As an American History major, I really applaud all the commentators using the Mr. Dooley voice in their posts.
I hope we recall how poor Cindy McCain suffered during the whole Keating crisis, what with Johnny Boy blaming her for the entire thing. NEVER FORGET!
stew: I was hoping this would sound as good written down as it did in my head. It doesn’t. Oh well
Based on Prince’s 1999 - credit to that stupid whore Heidi Collins at CNN
14999
I was dreamin’ when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin’
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple
There were traders fallin’ everywhere
A final escape from their destruction
U know I didn’t even care
‘Cuz they say ten thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time
So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 14999
Barack can’t even do attack ads right. 13 minute documentary? Just use 30 seconds to call him a baby raping vampire who will abolish social security. It’s what Karl Rove would approve of.

Oh lord if they want to play the guilt-by-association game, the Obama campaign has a wealth of material even beyond Keating to tar McCain with. I say bring it the fuck on, McSlime!

Miller: Man they do have a 30-second spot but this is sweet in so many ways. This will get blown across the web (wait that sounds dirty tho!) and many more peeps will see it cause it’ll end up on the youtube and get even a wider dissemination. I think this is great strategy by a sharp-as-a-razor campaign that has made very few missteps tho I wish they would go even further to paint McScandal as a the dirt-ridden fraud he is.
