Random: Bark Worse Than Her Bite

By anamariecox | October 29, 2008 | +

Not safe for work commentary on the state of the economy. [Consumerist]

Saltergrams get shorter: “100% BS. McCain likes her. He is as convivial as he can be every time she’s with us. I’ve been there every occasion. Every single one. There hasn’t been a second of tension btwn them. So, on the bus or not, they’re lying to u.” [Home Stretch]

To quote JDickerson: Which Obama album did the NYT steal this cover photo from? I’m thinking it’s from the first Quarterstick single. [NYT]

“By the way, before Cashill hit on his theory, I noted some eerie similarities between Dreams of My Father and the Horatio Hornblower novels of C.S. Forester, which also contain nautical references and are written on a high school level, but I gave up my investigation when I realized that Forrester died in 1966 and probably could not have written Obama’s book.” [Jon Swift]

Obama has foreign supporters! Really! And they have a great sense of rhythm. [YouTube]
“We reached Wallace Monday night, enjoying a rare evening at home with her dog, Lily, who also joined the conversation at one point. ‘That’s Lily protecting me from Fred Barnes,’ Wallace explained.” [DB]

    With Saturday Victories, Romney Retakes Control of the GOP Narrative

    Mitt Romney, the perpetually questioned front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, had a rough week. Three embarrassing losses to Rick Santorum in Tuesday’s non-binding contests led to questions about Romney’s conservative bona fides just in time for GOP activists, gathering at their annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, to collectively grumble about it. But in two narrow, largely symbolic victories on Saturday, Romney reclaimed the headlines. Never mind the details. He was winning again.

    “Convivial” — even Salter sounds like a butler from 1809. Bully for him! Quite right! Now, fix me a hot toddy, won’t you good man?

    Why isn’t this story getting more attention from the MSM?

    Sounds like Bush’s DUI to me, only (potentially) worse.

    Ana et al: here’s another one. Dole putting an impersonator on an ad saying “there is no God” in Hagan’s voice. Hagan holding presser with her pastor, threatening to sue Dole. Gift to Hagan? Depends on how far North Carolina’s come? Maybe Dole is proving how little she knows the state now.

    Hoo boy. More on Repubs eating their own, from Jake Tapper:

    And some Republicans are starting to now say they should have seen this coming, since Palin has a reputation for making friends who can help her and then screwing them over.

    And can you say ‘disarray’?:

    Two days after next week’s election, top conservatives will gather at the Virginia weekend home of one of the movement’s most prominent members to begin a conversation about their role in the GOP and how best to revive a party that may be out of power at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue next year.

    Would be fun to be a fly on the wall at that party, wouldn’t it?

    cheeseman: It seems to me that it might have been relevant two months ago, if true, or in the primary, but now is too late. If it was an accident, how would it be disqualifying? It would be sad, but there are worse – undisputed – incidents for the MSM to cover, such as the way he behaved during the fire on the (Intrepid? too lazy to look it up. It’s in the Rolling Stones article). It’s sorta important for us not to look like the Republicans. See for reference how the public’s view of Palin changed when we let her hoist herself on her own petard, rather than trying to throw her overboard via her life narrative and associations.

    Rats. In moderation after responding to cheeseman. Let’s see if this part makes it through: If it was an accident, how would it be disqualifying? It would be sad, but there are worse – undisputed – incidents for the MSM to cover

    Kathy, it prolly was the word, ‘arsesociations’ that tripped you up.

    “Obama has foreign supporters! “
    Really! Seems to have all supporters.

    GOING PLACES – LIKE BUSH NEVER WENT BEFORE?
    City of Obama, Japan? HERE.

    City of Obama, California, USA? HERE.

    And other cities? Try Here First.

    And the Dancing Obama gals? HERE and HERE!

    A Vote for Obama, by any other tongue, sounds as sweet? HERE.

    Is it significant? Is it likely to affect the outcome of the elections? Do the American people have a right to know the REAL character of one who seeks to be POTUS?
    Who is McCain really?

    Would such a story be overlooked if Sen Obama had a similar incident in his past?
    This seems to be one of the many passes offspring of the privileged – Bush#43 and John S. McCain III – get from the media.

    Class war anyone? [Note: The rich and the powerful own the media.]

    Anna – O’Reilly wants to “Arrest Burton”. You better tell him it is time to go on the lam before “Fox Security” catches him.
