John McCain giggles like a schoolgirl

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

If anyone comes across the clip of John McCain on Anderson Cooper 360 (or whatever that show is called), please send me a link! I was bored with politics last night since the SOTU by a lame duck president was going to amount to a whole lot of nothing because there's ...

Has Wonkette gone too far?

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Wonkette can be an enjoyable read for those of us that revel in snark, but sometimes lines get crossed. Today's post would one of those times: Yes, you're reading that lousy graphic of mine correctly: ...insiders suggest that it was Kennedy’s history of killing young white bitches in his car that made ...

Rudy Giuliani’s Subliminal Endorsement

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

From the Giuliani campaign website: Really, we get it. We really do. Rudy was great for NYC, and for the country, on 9/11. But, at a time when your candidate is being criticized for invoking 9/11 every other sentence, for exploiting the memories of the people that died and the heroes that ...

The Mitt Mobile

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

I'm all for cool tag lines and alliterative catch-phrases, but Mitt Mobile is making me think of one of those mobile dog groomers, for some reason. Maybe because the only thing between Mitt and Mutt is an itty-bitty vowel. The guy that came up with Mitt Mobile - Polititard

Mitt Romney ready to “battle” for the black vote

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

I don’t get it? Florida is Gator Country, so why is Mitt rapping about Dogs, when the arch-rival Georgia Bulldogs beat the Gators this past season? Oh, Mitt was trying to be down with all that for MLK Day… ooookay…

CNN: Black women only have two choices for President

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

CNN tried and failed to do a piece on on black women and the choices they face: "Women are torn between voting their race, or voting their gender" Because, you know, there is no reason they might want to vote for Edwards. Hey, too bad Condoleeza Rice isn't running. But, she's ...

The New York Times forgets Ron Paul is running for President

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Found the image below on Digg: One of the Digg commenters noted that the NYT corrected the graphic in record time: No, I don't believe an 8-year old made the first graphic, but it is still funny. Congratulations to the New York Times for proving yourselves Polititards!

What if you gave a primary and nobody campaigned?

Monday, January 21st, 2008

For the next week, the Republican Candidates for President will be in Florida stumping for their party's nomination. The Democratic candidates will be absent. The National Democratic Party decided to punish Florida Democrats because Florida moved it's primary date to January 29, leapfrogging a February 5 line-in-the-sand established by the national party.

Who’s on third?

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

The Paul-aniacs have worked themselves into a lather over this screenshot from Fox News' broadcast of the Nevada Caucus results for the Republicans. Seems that Fox News does not have a photo of Ron Paul, nor a phone number for the media relations folks at his campaign office, nor a ...
