D’you ever notice how our journalistic reporters such as Mark Halperin spend a full week, every week, telling us about how “nasty” the campaigns are going to get in the next week, and then the next week comes and no one cares because the “nasty” attacks are basically the same shit as usual, and then the cycle starts again with an EVEN BIGGER FOREBODING DRUDGE SIREN? Mmhmm.
We’ve read McCain’s current HARDEST LANGUAGE YET and it’s just, uh, that he is a Maverick who voted to regulate Fannie and Freddie 800 years ago, whereas Obama simply, what, plays basketball with his Chicago bomb friends? My heavens, this election bears the marks of a horserace!
So don’t bother reading this **ESSENTIAL READING** that some campaign communications aide distributed to reporters as **ESSENTIAL READING** knowing full well that they’d just crap it out wholesale onto their MSM blogs.
[The Page]
Headline should read:
“Same old shit will have few negative consequences for Obama.”
Other then that, this new “attack” style of the Walnuts camp is just pathetic and sad. Euthanize him.
…so, jumpin jack mcnuggits iz finely gonna cal our man a ni–

How nasty? This nasty:

Wow, I hope that Christopher Hitchen’s retarded brother gets credit for asking who the real Senator Obama is. He was so ahead of the curve. I also look forward to watching this tactic backfire horribly.
Well, I think that it is only fair that MOVEON.ORG put together an ad using McCain’s own words:
“I was no hero. Nor have I ever considered myself such,” McCain said in an interview with The Chronicle. “I was privileged to serve in the company of heroes. I observed 1,000 acts of courage and compassion and love that enriched my life.
“In fact, I failed as a prisoner to live up to the expectations and the standards that were set for me by my father and grandfather — because I signed a confession.”

I can’t believe this half-breed muslin terraist is gonna win the Preznitzy and John McCain ain’t gonna call ‘im on it.
“Who is the real Senator Obama?” the Arizona Senator will ask Monday afternoon in Albuquerque.
So, we can no predict McCain’s “senior moments”?
Keating.
Sorry: “… now predict …”
This merely confirms my nickname.
The way he gets abused by politicians, Halperin should call his work The Molested Page.
DRUDGE CREATES SIREN SO LARGE THAT HE, HIMSELF, CANNOT MAKE IT FLASH… Developing…
Halperin has siren size-envy for Drudge.
Does this mean he’s gonna start calling him B. Hussein Odumbo like the repultitards over at LGF? Cuz that shit’s mean and nasty and totally makes Hopey cry.
“Who’s the REAL Sen. Obama?” Ooooo! How MAVERICKY!
Don’t they know? The financial markets exploded again today. Everybody has to play nice and talk about the economy.
Oh and if you think the financial crisis is bad here, read some newspapers from the developing world. It’s some seriously depressing shit.
Who is the real Mrs. McCain, version 1.0?
Keram2: Yes, I get the Detroit Free Press online. I haz the sad indeed.
Oh, OK. So now the wicked media that he has so vehemently attacked as being in the tank for Obama is supposed to serve as a vehicle for McCain’s smear tactics? Maybe you shouldn’t have alienated them so badly in the last few months.
who cares about the economy, hopey knows him some terr’ists. oh and brown people!
If Mark Halperin and MoDo had a baby together, I bet they’d name it Matt.
I don’t need lessons about telling the truth to American people.-John McCain
There you have it folks. Proof positive in the mans own words that he has NO intention of telling us the truth. Now that’s Mavericky!
Cape Clod: Srsly. They aren’t going to do much more than scoff.
All people want to know is: What has this man ever actually accomplished in government? What does he plan for America? In short: Who is the real Barack Obama? But ask such questions and all you get in response is another barrage of angry insults.
Wow, Senator — project much?
And as far as terrorists go, who is a greater danger to this country: William Ayers, who was never convicted of a terrorist act and who is now a lecturer, or Phil Gramm, who, with your help, deregulated the finance industry to the point where it now lies in ruins?
The sky is falling, it’s raining Muslins and terrarists!! I can nw see Aphganastan from my front porch!!

Remember, Its all about managing expectations. If McCain doesn’t turn purple, spit, and throw a plate of pancakes at Obama during the debates, he will have lost.
If you want to read a REAL harsh fuckin’ smackdown, read the new Rolling Stone piece on McCain. It’s absolutely brutal.
“Who is the real Senator Obama? Isn’t he the Negro fella what wants to run for prezident?”
Great strategy, WALNUTS. We’re all so over the whole economy story. Boring. Last week’s news. I want to focus on some former hippy who may have done something 40 years ago. That’s what Amerika cares about.
“Who is the real Senator Obama” just makes it sound like he’s a superhero or something. Kent/Lane 08!
It’s always fiercest just before it’s dead calm.
I know I’m not his target audience here, but is this really the best he can come up with?
>>What has this man ever actually accomplished in government?
True. Unlike you, he has not had a hand in devastating the economy — TWICE, or crashed five planes. He also doesn’t have your experience in winning wars either.
Truculent: Unfortunately, at least 45% of America DOES care about that. That’s why the Republicans have been running the same “beat the angry left” campaign since Nixon’s first run.
It’s gotta be the nastiest part of the race yet. Just look at how huge that fucking siren is! I mean the only way pundits could express this race getting nastier is if they had some earth sized siren to put at the top of a page.

I swear, if the loudmouthed R that I work with brings up the Ayers thing, I’m going to have to tell him that I can’t talk to him anymore. After all, I might run for President someday, and I wouldn’t want it known that I associated with someone who unapologetically proclaimed that Obama was “nothing more than an uppity n****r.”
AnnieGetYourFun: If it’s any consolation, McCain’s decision to “turn the page” will be long be remembered as the day he threw the election away. He might have hung on had he stayed with issues from at least this century. But today he begins the senile old man shuffle to the day room of the rest home where he can contemplate his strategies over a cup of Jello puddinig.
sanantonerose: I don’t want a woman who is incapable of distinguishing the difference between an alien with super powers and the guy she works with everyday to be only a heartbeat away from the presidency.

“Who is the real Senator Obama?” Well, Senator McCain, he’s the tall elitest dude over there who is kicking your ass in this election.
AnnieGetYourFun: Maybe when Barack wins they’ll all heave in a last breath and die off.
Too hopey of me?
Carrie_Okie: AUGH my brain ow ow my brain BARTENDER 1 BLEACH MARTINI PLZ
“Who is the real Senator Obama?”
My money is on Kodos.

Let’s pray that McCranky and Caribou Sadie don’t use the “negro” word, then Joe Biden will be forced to play the Bitters and Nutz cards.

Full text of my email to Halperin:
So…
The entire world economy is melting the F*&@ down, and you lead with
your usual Suzie Gossip Girl bullshit?
Die. Right now.
Drop him a line yerself: mark_halperin@timemagazine.com
The majority of people stopped really listening to McCain about two weeks ago and with the election this close they’re not about to start. Look, McCain blew it by selecting Snowbilly to be his running mate. The ineffectiveness of the Wright/Ayers/Rezko line of attack is the result of the fact that it has already been done before and did not work. But Sarah Palin has never been through that kind of exposure which is why you pick a running mate with something of a track record in the MSM. Sarah Palin might (just might) have been a more viable candidate if her dirty laundry had already been aired in the public arena BEFORE she was plucked from the tundra to serve as McCain’s deus-ex-machina.
Furthermore, no one gives a crap about what some old fart with a penchant for the melodramatic says about anything. His economy strong/economy weak, I’m out of the debate/I’m back in again, I’m suspending my campaign (but not really) schtick hardly makes him credible. People are fascinated by a train wreck if it’s Britney Spears, but with the economy already a train-wreck it’s the last thing they want to see in a president.
Police Squad! In Color!
The old bastard just got into town and is, of course, fucking up traffic. Good thing I am already home.
Oh, and it hasn’t rained here in about 8 years, but tomorrow’s forecast: rain.
WALNUTS! ruins everything his essence comes in contact with.
(PS: It smells like old man (i.e. mothballs, urine, and coffee-with-McDonald’s hamburger breath) now, too.)
So where is the legendary Famous Person? (but we don’t likem famous person because they are bad elitists like Britney Spears. Frekin snob)
Fivetree: i just had a vision of mccain dressed in a spangly bra and shorts, wanly gyrating on stage.
Borat: Interestingly, the local “news” has not been following Hopey Famous Person’s travel plans, so he’ll probably sneak into town under darkness of night. Elitistly.
