Two conservative, Southern ex-Democratic senators have endorsed Barack Obama for president, even though their region of the country still makes its dollar via chattel slavery. Hooray for free blacks from the North running for president! Neither of the two senators, however, was Zell Miller, who has endorsed Gen. “Stonewall” Jackson. MORE »

Oh Tweety. He gets a southern governor on his teevees, like Virginia’s Tim Kaine, and he asks him to “speak Southern.” When Tim Kaine says “I’m a Kansan by birth,” all Matthews can do is laugh. He is a monster.

Uh, that was the break? Was that even two minutes? What about the old people who need a little time to use the facilities? What about your editor who can see the liquor store from his window? Anyway, here we are, solving America’s problems, around the old mill table. MORE »

Maybe if Trent had never resigned, Chris Matthews wouldn’t have had all these problems.

During a tour of New Hampshire today, John Edwards unleashed his latest superficial reason to vote for him: He talks like people who have been president before! You know, with one of those “Southern accent” doohickeys that certain Americans have!
