Keeping a jaundiced eye on the corporate media.

Yep.
“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies — that’s not the change we need, it’s just more of the same,” said Bill Burton, Obama Campaign Spokesman.
You are a Working Class Warrior, also known as a blue-collar Democrat. You believe that the little guy is getting screwed by conservative greed-mongers and corporate criminals, and you’re not going to take it anymore.

They really can’t help themselves, can they?
Way to diss small town America, Bill. Amazing.
No, Kevin. Dissing small town America would go something like “Take your liberal-bashing, federal-tax-leaching, confederate-flag-waving, holier-than-thou, hypocritical bullshit and shove it up your inbred hick ass.” I’d come up with something more original and less geared towards the South, but I have a very short lunch break so we’ll have to make due. Mentioning that a small town is in fact small, really isn’t much of a dis.
Also, I wonder what the odds are that myiq2xu completely misunderstood who Susie was calling a scrub.
What an unexpected gift to the Demos!
This is prime facie evidence of McCain’s senility.
When I saw the headline on Huffington Post, I thought it was the doing of one of their fake-news satirical commentators.
The Onion couldn’t have come up with anything better. Maybe they were on McCain’s veepseeking committee?
Prediction: Johnny will now carry Alaska.
There must be quite a few pissed-off Repub heavies right now.
Chris:
That statement by Burton was D-U-M-B
Ooops.
prime facue = prima facie
That statement by Burton was D-U-M-B
I’d love an explanation as to why you think so. It wasn’t anything interesting or earth shattering. It was just a statement of fact.
“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency.”
As opposed to the DNC last night placing someone with zero foreign policy experience and zero leadership experience a successful election away from the presidency.
Mentioning that a small town is in fact small, really isn’t much of a dis.
C’mon Chris, it fits the template .
You’re grasping at straws dude. Mentioning a town’s population is really nothing like the “bitter” comments, or how they were interpreted. If he’d said “Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 parasitic, inbred, illiterate rubes a heartbeat away from the presidency,” I’d agree with you that he was dissing small town America.
Chris, this is the kind of thinking behind the small-town comment:

“We live on islands of sanity, liberalism, and compassion…” Unless of course you’re a chick.
Burton’s a little behind the times. Sarah Palin is the Governor of Alaska.
The Obama campaign is tone deaf.
I’m trying to figure out if this is a race to see who can piss off the most people. I swear there’s something going on backstage, but I just can’t figure it out.
I think this was well thought out. Yes, it does take away a lot of ‘talking points’ on both sides… raises some new ones, lest someone accidentally disses their own candidate by being snaky. It will be quite interesting to see how this actually pans out…and I don’t mean from commentary left or right, I mean in the voting booth.
12Sweet Sue
She’s the governor of a state of 670,053 people. Woo hoo!
Oh, and did you notice that her husband works for BP, the former British Petroleum?
Oh, and did you notice that she’s under investigation for ethics violations as governor?
oh that, her husband may work for BP but he’s also a member of the United Steelworkers Union
She’s the governor of a state of 670,053 people. Woo hoo!
And Biden is of of TWO Senators of a state of 870,000 - she wins.
Oh, and did you notice that she’s under investigation for ethics violations as governor?
And she has an justfied rep as a cleaner-up-of-corruption. So she’s not only a hero, but looks like a best-upon hero, as well. She wins.
Brilliant move by McCain:
- Rank-and-file Republicans love strong women (as long as they’re Republican, more so if they’re attractive, which she is);
- She has a history of cleaning up corruption and cutting waste from goverment which appeals to people from both parties as well as Independents;
- It shows he’s actually doing *something* to get the votes of women (as opposed to Obama, who alternatly ignores and condescends to them but expects they will kneel and kiss his feet anyway);
- It makes the Republican Party look as if it’s the party which elevates qualified women, and the Democratic Party as if it’s the one which passes them up;
- If she’s attacked on anything , they can charge misogyny, that all women are being attacked (just as they charge denigration of McCain’s military service even for unrelated attacks);
If the Obama campaign even mentions about the ethics investigation you know that the McCain campaign will bring up Obama’s many, many, MANY ethics violations….
Sergei, why don’t you spell out a few of those ethics violations for us. We like details. Surely, if you’re willing to reinforce your argument with the use of ALL CAPS, you have the pure wind of truth at your back. Lay it all out babe. I want some details.
Sergei, do you have a brother named Don?
John says “As opposed to the DNC last night placing someone with zero foreign policy experience and zero leadership experience a successful election away from the presidency.”
how would this not apply to hrc, edwards, kucinich, etc…
PS former first lady does not give foreign policy bonafides…
