Article by missy on October 24th, 2008 at 2:40 pm And I’m going to make a point of remembering the name Ashley Todd. (CNN) — A Republican campaign worker who told police she was assaulted by a man angered by a John McCain sticker on her car admitted she made up the report, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, assistant police chief said Friday. Ashley Todd, 20, of College Park, Texas, will be charged with filing a false police report, [...]
Article by John on October 22nd, 2008 at 6:54 am Politico is reporting that the RNC paid for the Alaska Disasta’s $150,000 wardrobe since August. This is raising legal questions as normally items that are personal in nature cannot be purchased with campaign funds. Seems to me that since Cindy McCain grossed over $4.1 million last year (and over $6 million in 2006), John should have asked her to pick up this minor expenditure. After all [...]
Article by missy on October 16th, 2008 at 12:29 pm Pot, meet kettle (and yes, the kettle is black.) The first-lady-in-waiting, last week: Cindy McCain lashed out at Barack Obama Tuesday, telling a Tennessee newspaper the Illinois senator has waged the “dirtiest campaign in American history.” Really, Cindy? Because I haven’t seen anything coming out of any Democratic Party across these United States that can hold a candle to this: The latest newsletter by an Inland Republican women’s [...]
Article by missy on October 16th, 2008 at 10:26 am John McCain is very lucky that I am not Michelle Obama. Politics isn’t pinochle, but the metric tons of flyblown pigshit McCain piled on that debate table last night, just daring Obama to comment on the stench, was truly disgusting. If I were the spouse of a man treated with such punk disrespect in front on an audience of tens of millions, I’m [...]
Article by missy on October 15th, 2008 at 10:05 am I’d very much like to give him a piece of my mind. I was born on Long Island, just a few train stops from Hofstra University. If all you know of Long Island comes from F. Scott Fitzgerald (or Paris Hilton), that strip of expensive real estate may seem like a giant McMansion tract. But when I was born in Garden City in 1965, Long [...]
Article by John on October 15th, 2008 at 9:18 am Barack Obama has widened his lead over his Republican presidential rival John McCain to 14 points, according to a new opinion poll from the New York Times and CBS News. The 53% to 39% gulf in the two main candidates’ poll ratings suggests that Obama is continuing to capitalise from public anxieties prompted by the financial crisis. Detailed questions contained in the poll also indicate that [...]
Article by missy on October 14th, 2008 at 12:38 pm It’s a wonder they accepted the birth certificate application, what with the Cheetoh stains and all: A new father has secretly named his baby girl Sarah McCain Palin after the Republican ticket for president and vice president. Mark Ciptak of Elizabethton put that name on the documents for the girl’s birth certificate, ignoring the name Ava Grace, which he and his wife had picked earlier. “I don’t think [...]
Article by missy on October 10th, 2008 at 3:07 pm Or is he just stupid? From economist Dean Baker: It is not that anything about the current economic situation can plausibly lead to ten years of double-digit unemployment. However, we are seeing views expressed by otherwise serious people that could in fact give us the sort of prolonged stagnation that we saw in the Great Depression. Advocating spending cuts and/or tax increases in the wake of the [...] | |
