People are ignoring the biggest problem with the Palin/McCain presidential ticket. The nightmarish possibility that — if they are elected — something terrible could happen to Sarah Palin, and John McCain would end up running the country.
Yesterday, McCain voted for a bill containing hundreds of millions in earmarks (better known as pork barrel spending). Today, he suggested that Dubya should veto that bill — the same bill on which he voted yes. The bottom line — when the chips are down, McCain’s promises to change Washington by eliminating pork spending appears […]

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, McCain joked that he is not a rich man. Is that why he is selling his home in Phoenix? Watch this video to see what kind of home someone who is “not rich” lives in:

1. I’m going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated. (Nov. 26, 2005, Wall Street Journal interview). 2. I’m glad whenever they cut interest rates, I wish interest rates were zero. (Oct. 9, 2007, Republican presidential debate). 3. […]

During the first presidential debate Friday night, McCain criticized Obama for being naive when he said that the US should be willing to go into Pakistan to take out terrorists. “If the United States has al Qaeda, bin Laden, top-level lieutenants in our sights, and Pakistan is unable or unwilling to act, then we should take them […]

In a surprise move, Roger Ebert sort-of reviewed the first presidential debate. But as is often done with movie reviews, I can sum it up by just quoting two lines (the first and the last): I do not like you, John McCain. I have instructed my wife to exclude you from any future dinner parties. […]

You can also enter them in the PFAW McPalin Haiku Hysteria contest — three winners will be published in The Nation.

From the McCain campaign comes this bizarre ad, trying to say that Obama is not ready to lead this country because he agrees with McCain. I guess this means that even McCain doesn’t believe his own lies. Interestingly, the third quote in the ad concerns McCain’s assertion that corporate taxes are higher in the US than in […]

While pundits argue about who won the debate, one thing is clear. Or rather, one of these people is clearly missing something. Can you spot what it is? From Crooks and Liars I’m waiting for the press to flag this as a flip-flop on McCain’s part. My favorite summary of the debate comes inadvertently from […]

According to Us Magazine, McCain has been using the same make-up artist who does American Idol, and he has been paying her $5,583.43 for each application. 23/6 figures for that much money, she should be able to make McCain look like this: The Huffington Post wonders if the same people who made fun of John […]

This is hilarious. Letterman is none too happy because he was jilted by McCain to “focus on the economy”; McCain then appears on Katie Couric’s show instead: What is even more hypocritical about McCain “suspending his campaign” (whatever that means, considering that he appeared on TV tonight) is that it was Obama who initially contacted […]
