I Called It
On Stretch's 'Road to the White House' with Stretch, Eugene Robinson, Rachel, Buchanan and John Woodhair, Robinson suggested that the Obama campaign compare Senator McCain to Methuselah. Joking, of...
Smell the Flop Sweat
They're really desperate. In response to Senator Obama's recommendation to keep our tires properly inflated, McCain activists (that's an oxymoron) plan to distribute tire pressure gauges at an Obama...
Gergen!
Thank you, sir. A very serious Washington insider gets it right. When will the rest of the barbecue media wise up and figure out that Senator McCain is using race to try to scare white people?
Why Can't He Close The Deal?
In 1980, there was rampant inflation, unemployment, a gas crisis, a hostage crisis, a Cold War with the Soviets, a boycotted Olympics and what was generally considered to be "malaise." Very, very...

Happy Birthday to Senator Barack Obama, the next president of the United States.
McCain-Hilton '08
I forget where I saw this bit of news on the TV, so forgive me for the lack of hat-tipping, but yes... Rick Hilton, Paris's dad, has donated $4600 to Senator McCain's campaign. Kathy Hilton, Paris's...
He's An Old Man
And -- so what -- he has "senior moments." What's the big deal? It's not like being the president requires a sharp mind. Duh. Uh. Uh... What an embarrassment. And I hasten to add... now that Senator...
Your Barbecue Media
I just heard on Lou Dobbs that Senator Obama didn't get a bounce from his overseas trip "despite support from the liberal media." Oh yeah? This would be the same liberal media that, for the last...
MTP — WTF?
Why did Tom Brokaw just bring up -- totally at random -- General Clark's "getting shot down" comment? Brokaw is awful this morning. We're 15 minutes in and there hasn't been a single challenging...
McCain Is Worse Than Bush
Jonathan Alter writes: I misread McCain. Joe Klein wrote: A few months ago, I wrote that John McCain was an honorable man and he would run an honorable campaign. I was wrong. It wasn't until 2005...

One Huge Reason To Vote For Obama
MCCAIN: And some of those tactics — you mention the war in Iraq — are like that we use in the military. You go into neighborhoods, you clamp down, you provide a secure environment for the people that...

MST3K Saturday! "Hired! Part 2" continued from last Saturday.
Sad, Sad Little Old Man
Senator McCain is so pathetic and desperate that he's resorted to simply making fun of Senator Obama. No substance, no issues -- not even a gotcha quote. It's down to schoolyard teasing -- only...
No Sir. I Don't Like It.
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Sen. Barack Obama suggested he could accept an expansion of offshore oil drilling today if it is in a broader package of energy measures that would free the logjam on energy bills in...

Very Serious Corporate Media
Give me something to break. But in a nation in which 66% of the voting-age population is overweight and 32% is obese, could Sen. Obama's skinniness be a liability? Despite his visits to waffle...
