Tito and the Gang

By anamariecox | October 27, 2008 | +

A question on the lips of many campaigns watchers this weekend: “McCain is on a ‘Joe the Plumber Tour.’ Why is Joe the Plumber not with him?”

From reporters’ lips to McCain’s ears — or someone’s. Today in Leesberg, who introduced Sarah Palin but another “-o” the Job Description: Tito the Builder.

Joe need not worry about another small busines caricature taking his place in the heart of GOP candidates, however: He was much on the minds of everyone including — during a sort of odd moment — Palin’s invocation of those who call themselves “JoeMomma.”*

More later,

    Rick Santorum Wants to Fight ‘The Dangers Of Contraception’

    Candidates often say things when polling in the single digits that come back to haunt them when they start leading the polls. Last October, Rick Santorum gave an interview with an Evangelical blog called Caffeinated Thoughts, in which he said contraception is “not okay,” and that this would be a public policy issue he would tackle as President. In particular, he said he would “get rid of any idea that you have to have abortion coverage or contraceptive coverage” as a government policy. Start watching the following video at 17:55.

    Occupy the Regulatory Open Comment Period!

    There’s nothing “wrong” with protests built around placard-hoisting and park-squatting, but Occupy the SEC is definitely doing something right with its radically different tack. The OWS-offshoot has submitted a 325-page letter to federal financial regulatory agencies on the Volcker Rule, a controversial measure designed to prohibit banks from proprietary trading, or making investments with their own dollars rather than their customers’, that was passed as part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law.

    You should really post the video of Tito the builder getting into a verbal altercation with David Corn the last time McCain was in VA. Its very entertaining AND it shows he doesnt have a clue. Its probably up on salon.com or at least it used to be. Corn promptly PWNED him and his buddies pretty good

    All the Tito, Sarah and Joe references bring me back to the kids’ interest in “Bob the Builder”, whose call to arms was “We We Can!” I like how that winds around and comes back to Obama.

    Length doesn’t seem to do it. I posted a long cut and paste from a Dick Polman column over the week-end and there was no problem. Others that used words generally accessable to college prep high schoolers were held. Perhaps the bot doesn’t have a very sophisticated dictionary.

    Boy, the moderator is an idiot. It’s not some conspiracy, or random, as far as I can tell. It apparently looks for letter combinations that spell “naughty” words – even if those letters are components of larger, innocuous words of phrases. Thus, we can’t talk about sh_ll games, or the poems of e. e. c_mmings, or forget to space the phrase “pen is mightier than the sword” properly. The sh_tzu breed is verboten. I haven’t tested it yet, but I’m sure that if Ana Marie were Ana Lee and she ran her name together as she does above she’d never get a post in (but she would relive her days on Wonkette).

    This needs fixing, guys. You are losing commenters, and by extension, revenue from page views.

    According to campaign sources, Joseph Chappel, a 38-year-old speechwriter for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), has spent the last two weeks attempting to combine words and phrases in such a way as to not provoke a tight-jawed, dead-eyed smile from the presidential hopeful. “

    Nobody took my old name before me, so I am the once and future billiecat. And it looks like the moderator has decided my posts merit public display, even though they feature naughty “words,” so all can be assured nobody’s looking for literary merit.

    Now watch this one get held up for “assured.”

    I think Will Shortz, the NYT puzzle editor got caught on that one. There is something of a puzzling tradition of sneaking in offcolor words, and there was a time when a clue with that answer was often exhibited. And then, nada.
