DNC Research Director Says Mean Things About McCain!


A very small outrage we ignored on Friday had to do with the Democratic National Committee's Director of Research, Mike Gehrke, making dumb "John McCain is old" jokes on this "Twitter" web thing. Who doesn't make jokes about McCain's advanced age, right? But today, we are amused, because somebody sent us this screencap of another damning "Twitter" that (allegedly) shows the same Gehrke guy now implying that Charlie Gibson will sing a whimsical song about fucking John McCain. Also, "doring." That is how he spells doing ... or during. Also: Dolphin furry avatar.

Democratic Party Tries to Give Crazy Old Hillary the Boot?

Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy, an Obama Guy, today called for Hillary Clinton to drop out of the race and support Barack Obama. He is the first major superdelegate to declare this publicly. And earlier this morning, Howard Dean urged the uncommitted superdelegates to make their preferences public. Unless Hillary gets all of the uncommitted superdelegates, and then steals other delegates, she will have officially lost. But does Howard Dean have a plan for the 150,000 Hessian mercenaries that Hillary has employed for her last-resort military coup? [LA Times]

Grumpy George Will, Grinning James Carville, Grunty Fred Barnes

Howard Dean To Decide Democratic Nomination!

Howard Dean never became president, but now he might be able to pick one! He said yesterday that the DNC would like to have a nominee by mid-March or April. But he will NOT have him some kind of brokered convention if that doesn’t work. Oh yes, he went there: an “arrangement” might be in order. More »

non-existent major endorsements

Leave Al Gore Alone, He's Busy Making Temperatures Go Down

Al Gore is the only big establishment Democrat of any import to withhold his endorsement at this point. That’s because he’s not a big establishment Democrat, actually — he is a veritable Jesus, and he’s above this “Politics.” How many Nobels has “Politics” won? Exactly. Some thought the Kennedys’ adoption of Barry Obama would give Gore what he needed to endorse him as well, but his advisers say he genuinely does not care about endorsing anyone. Oh, Al, what do you have to lose? That early endorsement of Howard Dean in 2004 wasn’t embarrassing at all. [Marc Ambinder]

Palmetto Shuffle II: Liveblogging the Democrat Debate

Wow, are we back in South Carolina again? And we’re going to be talking about race and the racial issues, is that right? Of course, that was the supposed subject of the last Dem debate, too. But that was in Nevada, and everybody knows teevee signals can’t reach from Nevada to South Carolina. So let’s do it again! More »

Duh, It Was Dean's Idea First

Are the Paultards taking their cues from the ultimate Internetardation forebearers — the rabid supporters of Howard Dean? This link appears undeniable, at least regarding blimps. Maybe you all heard about this back in ‘03, ‘04 — I sure as hell didn’t, thank god — but Dean’s online supporters once tried to launch a blimp of their own, for all the same Paultarded reasons. Suddenly, the Internet is making a lot more sense. More »

Clooney Shoots in DC, Will Return Again and Again

George Clooney, the Farsi-speaking rogue federal agent who killed a Saudi prince in either real life or the movie Syriana (forget which), came to our Washingtons over the weekend to film his new movie, Burn After Reading. It’s so fun when a famous person comes to DC! All we have here usually are Joe Schmoes like the President and Congress. More »
