- SUCKS TO BE JOE KLEIN: HA HA HA, whiny Time conventional wisdom scribe Joe Klein has been banned from both the McCain and Palin planes because why waste a good seat on such a predictable man? Best McCain-Palin campaign move in months. [Michael Calderone]
I’m smelling another book by “Anonymous.”
MoDo also got kicked off. Walnuts has a longer shit list than the Clintons.
UPDATE: Campaign spokesperson Michael Goldfarb responded that “we don’t allow Daily Kos diarists on board either.”
That is bitchily hilarious.
Damn, and here I was looking forward to another movie adaptation of Klein’s next anonymous novel, starring Tina Fey as “Sally Fallon” and the exhumed corpse of Jack Lemmon as “George McClain”.
Doesn’t it suck to be Joe Klein enough already?
tunamelt: I laughed maybe the pregnancy thing was right, after all she wont release her medical records.
They won’t let me fly on the McCain plane, either, and all I did was want to see my grandkids…
If it sux to be Joe Klein, what’s it like to be Juan Macaca right now?
BTW: If one is turfed off the plane, is one automatically under the bus?
Yeah, I’m sure it’s a treat to be on the McCain campaign planes at this point in the contest. “Take a seat on the Failure Express and enjoy your complimentory maelstrom of anger, frustration, shame, desperation, hate, madness, and stupidity as we plunge down, down, all the waaayyy dooowwwnnn into defeat and despair!”
Ok, on second thought maybe that would be a pretty awesome assignment.
Why would you want to be on Walnuts’ plane anyway? Steve Schmidt would always be trying to beat you up; Rick Davis would always be hitting you up for lobbying money; Nancy Pfotenheffer would be preaching she lives in a more Americanier part of the US than you. Plus I think your IQ drops about 100 points once you enter Walnuts land.
Lou Dobbs actually has this poll: Whose endorsement matters more–Joe the Plumber or Colin Powell? No wonder his ratings are tanking. If you want to vote:

Texan Bulldoggette: Don’t forget walnuts war flashbacks
That’s a shame. I had heard that Joe really wanted to become a member of the “McCain/Palin Mile-High Club.”
A more important question, why doesn’t the Wonkette Have a seat?
And seriously, Joe Klein a security risk? What, was his very presence so mid-numbingly dull that he might even put the pilots to sleep?
stew: Lou Dobbs’ ratings are tanking? That’s good news. They don’t carry his show here on CNN Europe but you get a quick preview at the end of the Situation Room and it always seems to be, “Coming up on my show: Mexicans! Mexicans! Holy crap! They are jumping over the fence! Everyone look out, there are Mexicans!” I mean every single night, until I stopped watching that segment.
stew: uh, stew…you KNEW dobbs had a website? hmmmmmm.
anyway, thanks for the tip. here’s the latest results. i wish they had “undecided”
i couldn’t vote though…evidently, ACORN screwed up my voter registration form.
Colin Powell 56% 3728
Joe the Plumber 44% 2880
Total Votes: 6608
This is not a scientific poll
tsunami: in other news….

Wow. 15. Then again, taking into account how the McCain campaign inflates figures, it was probably only 7.
Sen. John McCain stopped in Columbia on Monday afternoon….
A crowd of about 15 people assembled outside the airport’s fence to see him descend from the plane….
Phillips, who also saw John F. Kennedy at the Joplin Airport in 1962, said she was upset at the small size of the crowd gathered to see McCain.
McCain campaign volunteer Jane Stuart agreed. In 2000, when then-Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush visited the airport there was a much larger crowd, Stuart said.
Yeah, even Bush is more popular than McCain.
Lou must be disappointed an underemployed, right wing loser is losing to a former Joint Chiefs of Staff. Is there no justice in this world?
wheelie: The actual show is the same.
tsunami: so John should ask us all to be on his plane, so when he lands, someone will be there…?
A whole campaign of Joe’s: Joe SixPack, Joe Biden, Joe the Plummer, Joe Klein…
Texan Bulldoggette: Must be a lot of negative numbers on that plane. Explains a quite a bit.
Darehead: Joe Mamma
I can’t wait for Klein’s revenge. His anonymous campaign biography of the McCain campaign, Walnuts: The Musical. The highlight will be the lesbian relationship between the wife of the candidate and the Vice Presidential nominee, where both women decry the lack of real men to keep them happy.
If I were a journalist I’d consider getting banned from the McCain plane to be a fantastic stroke of luck. Just think: no longer forced by your boss to sit in the vile air-tomb as McCain prematurely decomposes due to faulty pressurization!
according to MSNBC Obama’s grandmother is sick and so he is suspending his campaign this weekend to spend time with her…

That is so sad for Mr. Klein. I heard the McCain smells real nice.
Plane. Sorry Dancing With The Stars is on and I’m drunk for reals.
WE ARE SAVED, HALE BERRY, WE ARE SAVED, Joe Klein the Jew has waved his circumcised wand and George W. Bush has allowed his mouth to be empty of manhood and free of the juice of choice, Carl Rove, there is a new day arisen, and George W. Bush is drunk. Not just a drunk,, but the RNC’s own drunk and a fearless pilot once more. One more air start, or air strike, by Karl Rove, and George W. Bush would have to attach surgically, another set of balls, it’s like the price of gas ya know,, supply and demand, or the size of the originals. BUT WE ARE SAVED…Sara Palin has changed pads and gramps has wiped his chin, the RNC, they be rockin. Finger me this, how did a “competent political party”, the RNC, allow a brain dead, never was, to pretend to be a statesman, and choose a wild ass nasal amazon wannabe, as a vice president, and then, parade the both of them in front of the American people as leaders. WE ARE SAVED…Jerry Falwell is risen and is going to vote…tell us Reverend Falwell, who would you vote for in the coming election????”Well, after much prayer, and deliberating with my council, Jim Bakker, Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggart and that preacher in Montgomery, Alabama, found with a dildo up his ass, inside two wet suits in a hog tied position, I would have to vote for John McCain and Sara Palin, PARTY ON DUDE, SARA, WHAT A SLIP AND SLIDE YOU GOT…
McCain pulls so much gay drama it’s not even funny. Queeniest candidate since… I dunno, James Buchanan or some shit.
stew: It’s poling at 51/49 for Powell. After my vote for him…
Jesus Christ… What is WRONG with the PEOPLE in this country?!
