Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Watch this tirade in its entirety! Keith Olbermann just put into words what I'm sure many a people have thought, but dare not say. This is some divisive stuff.

Is Palin anti-Semitic?

Probably not. 

Of course, she could be, but I wouldn't get your panties in a bunch over the latest news from Gawker.

As it turns out, the gun-happy Alaskan quoted anti-Semitic author, Westbrook Pegler, in her now famous pithy speech at the RNC last week. 

"We grow good people in our small towns," said Palin, "with honesty and sincerity and dignity."

The thing is, the guy Four Eyes quoted was a staunch anti-Semite and incredibly right-wing, so much so that he openly wished for the assassination of Franklin Roosevelt.

Yeah.

What I'm getting at here is, do those 14 words amount to anything? Not really. Should her speech writers have paid a little more attention to their choice of words? Hell yes.

That or they had some real chutzpah.

GOP ticket gives $$$ to Obama campaign!

Inadvertently, that is.

When the band Heart heard their song "Barracuda" being played at the RNC in a rallying promotion of Sarah Palin's old moniker "Sarah Barracuda", they wasted no time in telling McCain no way, no how.

Well, since the McCain camp already obtained and paid for the necessary licenses to use the song, they paid no heed to Heart's request to stop using it.

That's right, in honor of Sarah Palin and to the horror of Heart, the song was blasting through the streets of Lebanon, Ohio this morning at a Republican rally.

Only thing is,  Heart gets headlines and royalties now, and guess who they're donating it to? Yep. Obama.

Let the beat go on!

He's running as an independent Democrat which, if I'm not mistaken, is the political equivilant of a Labradoodle.

It's a Colbert nation people, and we're just living in it.

One is the loneliest number

Y'all know that Bush problem the McCain camp is trying to ignore this campaign?

Of course you do. The Obama camp has that shtick covered. Well, President Bush is the new scare tactic. And Republicans have begun addressing that by, well, take a look...

Republican National Convention by the numbers:

Bush: 1 mention

Cheney: 0 mentions

Democratic National Convention by the numbers:

Bush: 184 mentions (95 linked to McCain)

Cheney: 20 (19 linked to Bush)

It's kinda sad that it's the Republican's own incumbent that casts a pall over their fete.

Fabricated Dichotomy

Because if you're a Democrat, you can't be patriotic.

Duh.

Note to RNC speech writers: America's population does not only consist of downtrodden farmers and evil CEOs and big business corporations.


Side-note: Can we talk about how easy on the eyes the McCain offspring are?
