Here’s a “fun” video from Fox News of some correspondent interviewing old people in a Scranton, PA diner. He asks for a show of hands to see how many support McCain (like 2?) and how many support Obama (15 million), and then declares the vote a “split,” and the old people laugh at him for being wrong. [YouTube]

We aren’t convinced this is anything beyond not knowing how to get off the thousandth stage he’s stood on this year — AmericaBlog says he maybe had a stroke, because of his twitchy eye — but here’s your “oh dear christ Sarah Palin could really end up as president if McCain doesn’t kill us all first” video moment for the day. [AMERICABlog]

Once we asked ourselves, How does Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy get out of bed each morning knowing that he’ll have to be Steve Doocy all day long? Well, he’s so dumb that he doesn’t “know” anything. We even feel sorry for John McCain in this clip, because he actually has to *talk* to this jerk-off for a few seconds. The topic is “gotcha journalism,” and Steve Doocy asks John McCain a personal question about Steve Doocy, because Steve Doocy has no clue what “gotcha journalism” means at all. [YouTube]

Libtards are giggling like rich schoolgirls on acid over this one. Along the lines of, JOHN MCCAIN DOES NOT KNOW THAT VENEZUELA ISN’T IN THE MIDDLE EAST! Can you even believe it oh my god blah blah blah. Whatever. They can enjoy getting ulcers over John McCain’s poor choice of conjunctions or adjectives such as “other.” [Ben Smith]

These kids fucking suck. [YouTube]

Because she’s masochistic, Sarah Palin went back for more inquisition with her MORTAL FOIL, the ancient fire dragon Katie Couric. Of course this time she brought her actual father, John McCain, to come and sit in and change the subject when Katie Couric starts getting mean. Palin sounds, uh, better(?), and is able to not completely mangle her 2002-era platitudinous bullcrap about “the terrorists.” On the other hand, Palin comes off as extremely pathetic because JOHN MCCAIN HAS TO DEFEND HER CONSTANTLY FROM KATIE COURIC. [YouTube]

Here’s a new ad from those wacky jesters over at the RNC. It attacks Barack Obama for supporting the bailout that the House approved yesterday. Yes, that’s right: two (2) problems here. John McCain supported the bailout and, according to the man himself, made other House Republicans vote for it. And the bailout, as you may recall, didn’t pass. What gives? Oh that SILLY RNC: “The Republican National Committee’s new advertisement critical of the the Wall Street ‘bailout’ was produced and sent to television stations in key states before the package failed, officials at two stations said.” [YouTube, Ben Smith]

Your associate editor was prepared to go to this funny-sounding debate party last Friday at the D.C. headquarters of libertarian masturbation pamphlet Reason, one for which Bob Barr was invited to yell at Obama and McCain on the teevee, live. Ineffectiveness and vanity on this level is, of course, the very essence of libertarianism. So instead your editor incoherently liveblogged from home, viciously drunk (sorry!) and FAR AWAY from the old yelling octoroon. But Liz Glover went in our stead, and she brought a sidekick! MORE »

Dearest Wonkette readers. Now would be an appropriate time to grab a drink and reassess the value of, you know, representative democracy as an effective form of government at all. If you’ve been watching CNN for the last couple of hours… well, we’re right there with you. Oh god CNN is now looking at Internet comments to get more opinions on the Death Of The Bailout. INTERNET COMMENTS. We want forty guns right now with which to shoot furniture, appliances, alley cats and, most importantly, our own human selves. Let’s run through a list of the comically pathetic ways in which our American political leaders are “responding” to the failed bailout vote. Hint: very few people are blaming themselves! MORE »

Here’s potentially gay Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of McCain’s most ardent supporters, on the Fox News Sunday program alongside famous mule-bot John Kerry. He’s presented with some poll numbers that look good for Obama after the debate. Graham offers one sentence of pro-McCain spin and then starts whining about how tired he is and basically says OBAMA IS THE BEST THERE ARE YOU HAPPY CHRIS WALLACE? John Kerry stoically agrees and then everyone makes out. [Crooks & Liars]

Oh Jesus, check this out. Here’s a McCain campaign senior strategist, Nancy Poopenheifer or some such, talking with enigmatic Fox & Friends clown Steve Doocy about how the vice presidential debate is somehow ALREADY RIGGED for Joe Biden. Apparently it could focus on foreign policy, and that would just be unfair to Sarah Palin — how the hell is she supposed to know bullhickey about the various foreign policies? This debate is a SHAM, and since black Gwen Ifill is moderating it, well, you know she’s in the tank. Just look at all of that melanin! [YouTube]

Hey look it’s John McCain, doing a “rap.” Silly liberals. Don’t you know that if you can pronounce the name of a Muslim, then YOU are a Muslim too? [YouTube]

Thank you, loyal readers, for sending us a few thousand tips about this YouTube video of Sarah Palin walking on a beauty-pageant stage in a very ’80s, unflattering one-piece. We are not posting it here because HALF THE CLIP IS SOME GUY TALKING ABOUT HOW HE HAS THIS VIDEOTAPE. OH THAT ONE IS REMOVED BY USER. (Okay, we’ll post the pure-beauty walk video after the jump.) And now we must prepare for our live coast-to-coast Mississippi debate pre-coverage, coverage, and post-coverage, so go ahead and watch this video for the next couple of hours, again and again. (Also thanks for the “McCain Wins Debate” ad tips; yeah dudes we got that at like dawn today, here, check it out.) Okay, go to the liquor store, buy firearms and firewater, and we’ll see you in a few! Oh yeah, OPEN THREAD, type like crazy! MORE »
