Ugh this DSCC ad has about a million problems with it. Number one, only one of these people is a “quitter” in the sense of “throwing a weird hissy fit in front of a flock of honking geese and leaving one’s job for no discernible purpose.” MORE »

There is a special rule in politics: only Republicans can be actors (Reagan, Schwarzenegger, Thompson). Republican actors are “serious,” whereas the Democrats are just a bunch of hippie slobs who want to make North Korea our 51st state. That is why Val Kilmer cannot run for governor of New Mexico.

So maybe (probably?) this is a fake, but then again that’s what we thought about the whole “hackers broke into Sarah Palin’s email” rumor. “She couldn’t possibly be that stupid,” we said, and then HA! And actually a 425 verbal sounds about right. [BuzzFeed]

You know how the New York Times turned down John McCain’s editorial because it was boring or whatever? We think we found it — it’s running in the Washington Post today, cleverly disguised under the pseudonym “Richard Cohen,” and it’s a full-on Andy Rooney-style rant about the youngsters and their awful tattoos (pictured, left).

OMG did you hear what colored people are up to “in their churches”? Well let’s have one more moment of comic/feigned outrage over what those uppity black people are saying, as the Jeremiah Wright “scandal” will be the closest any of you white people ever get to a black church. Also, uh, this is what the fancy New York magazine Vanity Fair does these days: “Mash ups” of copyrighted video from The Simpsons and the entire two minutes of Reverend Wright’s wacky history of sermons, which so far we’ve yet to hear a single person, you know, make any sort of coherent argument against. Anyway, John McCain is Grandpa Simpson, as we will scientifically prove, after the jump. MORE »
