More dangerous than Bush
Excerpt:
During the Cold War, Gen. Thomas Power headed
the Strategic Air Command. General Power, like many
of the Air Force brass at the time, believed
that nuclear war with the Soviets was inevitable. He thought the
United States would do better to fight that war
sooner rather than later and believed we could emerge victorious.
"At the end of the war," he argued in 1960, "if
there are two Americans and one Russian, we win!"
That means 300 million Americans died - how is that a victory?
Listening to McCain talk about Iraq and Iran,
I keep thinking of Power. McCain's insistence on "winning in Iraq,"
remaining there "until Iraq is secure," and "bomb-bomb-bombing
Iran" reveal the same mindset that made General
Power so dangerous. Caught up in his fear that
a military failure would encourage America's enemies, McCain can
see no alternative to military victory, no matter
what the cost. This might be a laudable spirit to drum into raw military
recruits, but could prove extremely self-destructive
in a commander in chief.
The question, if only Obama would ask, is simple: What in McCain's mind would a military victory in Iraq look like?
If Obama would insist on a format where he could
ask questions, he could get that answer.
But every time, the candidates agree to those
pointless handjob debates where no answers are given and
both candidates just repeat the same old talking
points, making the debates as useless as Governor Bush.
Example: Obama could ask, "John, why
do you keep saying I'm going to raise taxes on everybody
when I've been chrystal clear that only those
who make over $250K will see an increase?"
No reporters would ever ask a tough question like that, so we WOULD
learn something,
but
I'll bet Obama agrees to that same old useless format where they act
like robots.

Quotes
"Republicans are thrilled with how close the
race remains. The atmospherics are not particularly
friendly for Republicans this election
cycle, perhaps exacerbated by the Obama foreign tour.
But the polls show the race really
nip-and-tuck, with McCain in a position to win."
-- --Ben
Ginsberg, counsel to the Bush campaigns in 2000 and 2004, Link

Subject: Hillary
Hey Bart,
Hillary is radioactive!
Obama can't afford to have his presidency all
about "What's Hillary and Bill up to now."
Sure, the press slant their coverage to make her
look bad.
Why would you expect them to change?
Of course, she would make a great VP, but the
press, having found their spines
after Obama takes office, will frame everything
she does as undercutting Obama.
I agree - it's the job of the press to hate the Clintons and fawn over McCain.
Hillary and Bill and Obama will be on the tabloid
covers every week for 8 years
and Obama doesn't need the distraction.
Gordon
He's gotta win before he can be distracted as president.
The Clintons are radioactive because they're winners who handed the
GOP their asses - twice.
If Obama wins two terms, just think what America's whore press will
do to him - and Michelle.

Humorous & Political T-Shirts
How We Can
Still Blow It
by Michael Moore
Excerpt:
Obama picks
a conservative white guy or
a Republican
for his VP.
It will seem like smart politics at first. Shore
up Obama's lack of military experience with a hawk.
Be true to Obama's message that he'll be a president
for everybody by having him run with a Republican.
But by doing this, you will upset the base that
not only must come out on election day, it must also be
active and work dozens of hours during the campaign.
They have to personally bring 10 people each to
the polls with them if we are to avoid the disasters
of the past two elections. Many won't do this extra
work if Obama picks the wrong Veep. It will suck
the air out of the balloon in a big way.

The Front-Runner's
Fall
Mind-reading horseshit from a Hillary-hater
Excerpt:
For all that has been written and said about
Hillary Clinton's epic collapse in the Democratic primaries,
one issue still nags. Everybody knows what happened.
But we still don't know how it happened, or why.
The after-battle assessments in the major newspapers
and newsweeklies generally agreed on the big picture:
the campaign was not prepared for a lengthy fight;
it had an insufficient delegate operation; it squandered
vast sums of money; and the candidate herself
evinced a paralyzing schizophrenia - one day a shots-'n'-beers
brawler, the next a Hallmark Channel mom. Through
it all, her staff feuded and bickered, while her husband
distracted. But as a journalistic exercise, the
"campaign obit" is inherently flawed, reflecting the viewpoints
of those closest to the press rather than empirical
truth.
Pure horseshit - the Hillary haters will love
every word of it.
They give you a few words from "those memos,"
then they explain what they really mean.
If you hate Hillary's f-ing guts, you'll love this article.
Do you get the feeling in 2025 they'll still
be bashing Hillary?

Quotes
"I don't see America having problems..."
-- Der Monkey to Bob Motormouth Costas, who ruined another Olympic ceremony
Link
I'm so old, I remember when Costas showed some self-restraint.
He talked over every second of the opening ceremonies in China,
constantly telling us
what was about to happen, like some drunken handjob watching
a movie for the fifth time.
Bob, if that was "one of the most amazing visual spectacles of
all time," why'd you talk over it?
Have you ever thought about taking a breath and letting the scene
speak for itself?

Why I Hate
Obama
by Jonah Goldberg, (R-bad seed)
Excerpt:
During Obama's make-believe presidency, we've
heard about bold action, about the courage to
talk to dictators. When faced with a real "3
a.m. moment," Obama -- who boasts about 200 foreign
policy advisors, broken into 10 subgroups --
proclaims, "I'm going to get some shave ice."
Indeed, Bush's jaunt to the Olympics as a "sports
fan" should also have been cut short the moment
tanks started rolling over a country he'd proclaimed
a "beacon of liberty" during his visit there in 2005.
By Monday, both Bush and Obama were playing catch-up
to Grandpa McCain, who seemed to have
grasped the gravity from the get-go and whose
support for Georgia is long-standing. He took the lead
from the outset, demanding on Friday morning
an emergency meeting of NATO and Western aid to
the fledgling democracy.

Quotes
"Bush has been the most fiscally irresponsible
president in history, taking surpluses that
equaled 2.5 percent of GDP and turning
them into deficits that are 3 percent. This is a
$4 trillion hit on the country's balance
sheet. On the central issue of energy policy, Bush has
been utterly obstructionist, recycling
the self-serving arguments of industry lobbyists."

McCain's
'celebrity' taunts are bugging Obama
Are there any writers besides Bart who don't read minds?
Excerpt:
In a presidential campaign freighted with war,
recession and energy woes, a jibe featuring Paris Hilton
seems to have struck a nerve in Obama...On Monday,
Obama took a different tack with a commercial
that says McCain, not he, is "Washington's biggest
celebrity."
The back-and-forth may seem frothy, but it suggests
McCain is making some headway
in trying to fight the campaign on his terms.
Even some Republican strategists questioned whether
the Paris Hilton strategy was smart or dignified.
And Hilton herself produced a video poking fun
at McCain that drew large Internet viewership.
But Obama's latest ad suggests the "celebrity"
taunt has some sting, and efforts to dismiss it as silly
have not been effective.

GAO: Most
Corporations pay no Income taxes
Yet the GOP wants to give them massive tax cuts
Excerpt:
The GAO is set to release a report that says
most U.S. corporations pay no federal income taxes.
And most foreign companies that do business in
the United States aren't paying corporate taxes.
The study says about 2/3 of American corporations
paid zero income taxes between 1998 and 2005.
An even higher percentage of foreign corporations
avoided federal corporate taxes. At the same time,
said the GAO, the firms had trillions of dollars
in sales.

Quotes
"Bush is operating according to a logic that
says the right way to win against Al Qaeda
is to invade Iraq, which had no connection
to Al Qaeda. And the right way to dismantle
bin Laden's terrorism network is to
express unconcern about chasing him down while
relentlessly pursuing his driver. Mr.
Bush's hapless and often unconstitutional approach
to combating terrorism will leave his
successor a great deal of work to do."

FOX Whore News - screwed again
Excerpt:
Coveted assignments for presidential debate moderators
were handed out last week,
and guess who was left off the list ... again.
After suffering the bitter, and unprecedented,
blow during the Democratic primary season
of having candidates refuse -- twice -- to appear
in Fox Whore News-sponsored forums
when bloggers raised hell about the news organization's
lack of legitimacy, Rupert Murdoch's
Fascist Dog channel was again left off the list
of news anchors tapped to moderate the
must-see TV events in the fall.
That's just common sense.
