The difference between gaffes

By Trevor Timm | Leave a Comment

From Politico:
Vice presidential debate: A barrel of gaffes?
The problem with each candidate is just slightly different:
Joe Biden: How can someone so smart say something so stupid?
Sarah Palin: How can any human being continously sound so incredibly stupid?

Fair and Balanced

By Trevor Timm | Leave a Comment

This is classic. A Fox News reporter is in a restaurant in Pennsylvania when he asks the patrons who they are voting for. When McCain’s name comes up, ONE man reluctantly raises his hand, and then his wife right next to him shoves his arm down before his vote can be counted. Then the reporter [...]

McCain Cries “Uncle;” Obama Keeps Twisting His Arm

By Trevor Timm | Leave a Comment

Today, for purely political reasons, John McCain suspended his political campaign for President of the United States because he said “now is not the time for politics.” He said he planned on returning to Washington to help with the bailout bill and implored Barack Obama to do the same. There’s only one many problems with [...]

Memo to “Worried” Democratic Strategists: Shut the Hell Up

By Trevor Timm | Leave a Comment

For the past month, major news outlets have been publishing articles every few days with headlines like “Can Obama pull it off?”, “Obama supporters say get tougher, more passionate,” “Democrats of Capitol Hill fear Obama fallout,” and my personal favorite in terms of ignorance “What Obama needs to do.” These articles have two things in [...]

The Best Part About McCain Getting Busted For His Lies

By Trevor Timm | Leave a Comment

There is a reason it’s so easy to see through both McCain and Sarah Palin’s bullshit about the Bridge To Nowhere, how “she’s against pork barrel spending,” and McCain’s latest whopper about Palin never taking earmarks as Governor at all :
Barack Obama literally authored the bill, with Republican Tom Coburn, that makes it incredibly simple [...]

Palin’s Plane Rules: No AP; No Questions on the Record
She’s sticking to a greatest hits version of her convention speech on the campaign trail and steering clear of questions until she’s comfortable enough for a hand-picked interviewer later this week.
McCain campaign manager Rick Davis has said that Palin will “agree to an interview when we [...]

The Church of Sarah Palin

By Trevor Timm | Leave a Comment

Remember this disturbing sequence in Borat?

In probably the most ridiculous scene in a movie filled with ridiculousness, Borat is “saved” by members of a Pentecostal church somewhere in the Deep South.
This is the same type of church that Sarah Palin belongs to.
Unfortunately, there is no Youtube video so everyone can really appreciate the complete insanity [...]

The Case Against Sarah Palin

By Trevor Timm | 2 Comments

Late last week, John McCain picked his running mate, the relatively unknown Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska. Aesthetically for McCain, it was a great choice. The grumpy, ugly old man tapped a smiling, attractive young woman as his potential Vice President. The excitement over the first woman Republican VP nominee in history also probably blunted [...]
