When Maher was on the other week, it was awesome.

:lol Maher always rapes the Larry King interviews.

 

[Chiggs]

Larry King is actually amazing to watch. His interviews are ludicrous, he's obsessed with UFOs, he's completely incapable of focusing on anything. It's awesome television.

My favorite Larry King episode was from years back when he was interviewing the Hitchcock women. Larry wasn't listening to what they were saying, and he kept going on about how Hitchcock was "creepy" and he just liked to "creep people out." The women were beginning to get a little fed up, and I think Janet Leigh actually said "I think there was a lot more to him than just that, Larry." Larry's response: "He was creeeepy."

What the fuck does votes have to do with experience? Fact is, Palin has far more ACCOMPLISHMENTS than Obama, which is a truer measure of 'experience.' Really, what are Obama's accomplishments again, other than being opposed to the Iraq War (note: a stance, not an accomplishement), some vague ethics reform, and being for nuclear containment (aren't we all?).

That being said, I want to give Obama a chance, so please list his ACCOMPLISHMENTS, or at least 2 of them.

He's been a legislator for twelve years and a community organizer for about six more.

Many of our best presidents were never governors.

I do feel sorry for Palin, she's really been thrust into this position that she's not ready for. However, I only almost feel sorry for the GOP.

i dont feel sorry for her at all. she is the epitome of everything i hate about this country. (note: there is also a fuck ton i love about this country)

Not my words but food for thought. Also i think your here to heckle nothing much else. Having the time of your life?

 

[scorcho]

if we blindly voted on a vague 'experience' metric alone, neither McCain nor Obama would be their respective party's choices. thank god none of us live in King_Slender's talking points world.

That being said, I want to give Obama a chance, so please list his ACCOMPLISHMENTS, or at least 2 of them.

Obama supports the issues I believe in, that's why I'm voting for him. I admire how he's lived his life so far-- being an agent for change, fighting for campaign finance reform, and bringing people together against the BS of the Bush administration.

If I based my vote solely on accomplishment lists, I'd be voting for this man:

PS-- Keeping the grizzly out of the refrigerator isn't a valid accomplishment for VP!

The Log Cabin Republicans, continuing to epitomize battered-wife syndrome, endorse McCain.

 

[speculawyer]

Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor.

Now there is some 'Change We Can Believe In', my friends. :lol

Obama Murdoch secret meeting, and Roger Ailes gets a little tongue lashing. Basically BO told Ailes he didn't appreciate the way he and his wife are being portrayed. Ailes basically come on shows in other words legitimize us.

http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2008/10/wolff200810?printable=true&currentPage=all

"He paused, considered, nodded his head slowly: “Obama—he’ll sell more papers.”

Even though his daughter Elisabeth and her husband, high-flying P.R. man Matthew Freud, have been raising money for Obama in Notting Hill, in London, where they live, and his wife has been attending fund-raisers for Obama in Los Angeles with David Geffen, this is a leap for Murdoch. Murdoch has traditionally liked politicians to come to him. His historic shift in the 1990s to Tony Blair came after Blair made a pilgrimage to Australia.

Obama, on the other hand, was snubbing Murdoch. Every time he reached out (Murdoch executives tried to get the Kennedys to help smooth the way to an introduction), nothing. The Fox stain was on Murdoch.

It wasn’t until early in the summer that Obama relented and a secret courtesy meeting was arranged. The meeting began with Murdoch sitting down, knee to knee with Obama, at the Waldorf-Astoria. The younger man was deferential—and interested in his story. Obama pursued: What was Murdoch’s relationship with his father? How had he gotten from Adelaide to the top of the world?

Murdoch, for his part, had a simple thought to share with Obama. He had known possibly as many heads of state as anyone living today—had met every American president from Harry Truman on—and this is what he understood: nobody got much time to make an impression. Leadership was about what you did in the first six months.

Then, after he said his piece, Murdoch switched places and let his special guest, Roger Ailes, sit knee to knee with Obama.

Obama lit into Ailes. He said that he didn’t want to waste his time talking to Ailes if Fox was just going to continue to abuse him and his wife, that Fox had relentlessly portrayed him as suspicious, foreign, fearsome—just short of a terrorist.

Ailes, unruffled, said it might not have been this way if Obama had more willingly come on the air instead of so often giving Fox the back of his hand.

A tentative truce, which may or may not have vast historical significance, was at that moment agreed upon".

There is, but most of them shy away when facts are involved. I don't know why - some Republican positions are pretty sound. It's just that, you know, they have Bush and McCain running the show. Which is unfortunate for their party.

"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."
