Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
Maybe Jon Stewart should ask his audience if Obama chose Clinton as VP, there wouldn’t be a Sarah Palin at the Republican Convention.
Obama can only blame himself.
Hypocrisy thy name is GOP.
Sarah Palin: A desperate choice that is backfiring. Lying about how she was against earmarks in her acceptance speech won’t go over well – I have already seen her handwritten notes celebrating the earmarks she got while mayor.
Ethically, she has had to hire a lawyer and the e-mails she sent trying to fire her ex-brther in law are now out.
Her past statements on God’s purpose in Iraq and her pathetic abstinence and creationism stances just add to the sinking ship. She is truly the titanic pick for the GOP.
She will alienate the swing voters in the Midwest and I expect to see McCain fire her soon or go down with the ship. so much for the vetting process. Joe Biden is looking really good right now.
Republicans spin and spin – and end up contradicting themselves. Too funny….
Sweet Palin’s Jesus! I hope I get
to share a FEMA Camp with Jon.
Sure would make the time pass easier.
Newsweek’s take on Palin’s speech is that she was poised and red-meat conservatives feel well-fed this morning, but her attacks on Obama’s community service were “snarky” and a campaign built on one-liners won’t sell to the moderate swing voters who will decide the election.
The real meaning of Palin, in my opinion, is that the GOP under McCain has opted for more attack politics and more divisiveness. Palin indeed is a divisive and polarizing candidate. She is a rigid idealogue who represents the most noxious policies of the hard-right and she deliberately styles herself as an in-your-face “pit bull” campaigner. This is not what moderate voters who want political healing are looking for. With this dichotomy now brightly drawn, they will flock to Obama. Thoughtful swing voters will realize that with Democrats in control of Congress, electing the McCain – Palin ticket would mean 4 more years of relentless partisan warfare in Washington D.C., while the nation continues to drift and middle class and working class people languish without relief from the GOP-created malaise afflicting the economy. Sure, some people will cast their votes based on personalities or superficial button-pushing, but thinking voters will reject the most cynical ticket to come along since pre-Civil War days. As far McCain, any respect he once deserved has been irretrievably flung down into the partisan GOP mud.
That is brilliant! It does take a comedy show to truly expose the hypocrisy of those bastards. The belittling of Obama’s selfless sevice in South Chicago will only backfire. America was introduced to the perky little governor of Alaska only to find out that she just another asshole Repbublican. The gloves are off!
TJ: Obama gang is already dropping his community “work”.
Not been paying to the morning shows huh?
@8 Oh please. We welcome the opportunity to compare Obama’s years of organizing communities for positive goals with Palin’s sordid record of turning a placid town into a battleground between christo-fascists and everyone else. Obama spent his early career making life better for thousands of disadvantaged people. Palin spent hers picking fights.
Karl Rove looks genuinely terrified in that clip. LOL!
I don’t know why people think that McCain will dump Palin. Frankly, I don’t think he dares to do that. Palin is a sop to the rightwingers of the party who still control it and they wouldn’t allow him to dump her.
David,
I thought McCain would wise up and have Palin drop out “my family and Alaska needs right now” but it would be the ultimate declaration that McCain made the worst VP decision in modern history.
McCain’s a POW: Prisoner of Wingnuts.
Where’s the pipester lately?
