Maybe McCain should have purchased ad space. For his ad.

teddy!

I wonder if this means McCain will pick BetrayUs as his running mate?

Their movement and their party are disintegrating around them and all their hopes for world domination are swirling down the drain. After almost thirty years of arrogant bullying, they don’t know what to do and are reduced to pathetic whimpering. Makes. My. Day.

I think they’re trying to buy space in general…as in breathing room. These guys are so screwed…

I’m going to be grown up about this and say…

NEENER! NEENER! NEENER!

McC doesn’t need a military man since he has all the knowledge he needs about that /s

Test

Including geography.

I give you an A+, Loo Hoo!

Test

ok - ready. what’s the question?

fork - dayam teachers and their forking pop quizes. doncha know its summer

hey loohoo

was the op-ed rejected or was a paid ad rejected?

Those borders are tricky - they move them a lot and he can’t keep up. :)

McC doesn’t need a military man Via*ra™ since he has all the knowledge he needs about that a hot wife with whom he shares a deep affection /s

I’m surprised the House 96 didn’t mention the awful Vicki Iseman attack on their presumptive standard bearer by the NYT. That would shame the Times into printing his Op-Ed, don’t you think?

The border of Iraq and Pakistan is Iran. He was just doing Cheney’s bidding, I imagine.

Do you know what McC said in the piece? Was it a rant against Obama?

It really must have been pretty incoherent for the NYT to turn down an oped full of GOP talking points.

the pissier the goopers get the better- that’s when ya know ya got em!

Not to mention the mask slips and the public gets to see their true face.

Do you know what McC said in the piece? Was it a rant against Obama?

Wasn’t it The Times’ position that the op-ed essentially didn’t say anything at all?

Arnold plans to pay state workers the federal minimum wage starting next week:

(07-23) 18:22 PDT SACRAMENTO — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger plans next week to slash the pay of more than 200,000 state workers to the federal minimum of $6.55 per hour to deal with the state’s budget crisis, according to a draft executive order obtained by the Chronicle today.

The governor also will order an end to overtime pay for all but critical services, a freeze on state hiring and the immediate layoff of 22,000 temporary, seasonal and student workers.

“As a result of the late state budget, there is a real and substantial risk that the state will have insufficient cash to pay for state expenditures,” the executive order states.

The proposed pay cut for hourly employees takes their wages well below the state minimum wage of $8 an hour. A 2003 California Supreme Court decision allows the state to chop workers’ pay to the federal minimum when a state budget is not in effect.

Another one for the “can he do that?” file; the state comptroller John Chiang says he won’t cut paychecks and doesn’t need to start borrowing to make payroll until September. So why would Arnold grandstand like this?

Shock doctrine much?

Team McCain sees it as a win-win.
Published - his spin enters the debate.
Not published - he gets to cry foul in a week where crying foul is his chief accomplishment.

They must be so proud.

I was NOT testing pups, but I still think we should have a Friday evening News Quiz! I was just testing the internets.

IIRC, MoveOn paid full price for that ad once the discount was brought to their attention.. and it was Giulinni’s who did not pay the difference shortly after raising a hypocritical stink while getting the same discount?

Isn’t that correct?

Fox has it, of course.

The GOP is just a bunch of clown toes and camel cars.

Link to the ski slope that represents Clusterfuck’s job approval rating- yes- it’s still going down- with less than six months to go!

It would be really cool to have the Iseman article and the McCane OpEd next door to each other. Photoshop by DarkBlack would work nicely in this context.

Somebody tell the NSA van to back up, their cutting off Loo Hoo’s InterToobz.

Damn expanding universe!

diaper wearing - gotta remember to include diaper wearing

707!

Now help me up, Mary.

Thanks, Teddy. It is pretty much a rant against Obama and is certainly fact-free.

And toe-tapping.

toe tapping, diaper wearing, born again assholes.

good lord - is that his JAR, or a composite corporate earnings graph from every business he ever got his C- business hands on?

Couldn’t be his JAR, could it? The fucker is still over 25%?

And idea free and substance free. Vacuous would be a compliment.

And the top of the chart is 50%!!!

America’s most beloved preznit.

Fucker’s had a great second term hasn’t he?

Shoulda gotten out while the gettin was good.

Not Betrayus, Teddy, Traitor Joe Lieberman! They make such a wonderful couple…!

Fucker loves Harry Truman who dropped nukes on Japan..OOPS

Did you guys see that Obama’s campaign bought $5 million in ads during the Olympics?

It’s official. Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign will be among the TV sponsors of NBC Universal’s Olympics coverage. In the first significant network-TV buy of any presidential candidate in at least 16 years, the Obama campaign has taken a $5 million package of Olympics spots that includes network TV as well as cable ads.

At this point, suicide by swirly would be a viable option for him.

Ah! No nukes then, just the toy atomic bombs.

Lieberweasel was out of his cage for exercise today—called Hagee- the Heifer growin catholic hating preacher “Moses”. Nice job Lieberweasel. Hagee wants Israel to rebuild the temple so that Jesus can come and send all the jews ta hell.

sigh

chanting i would rather have a d president i disagreed with part of the time than an r president i disagreed with all the time

Breaking: Chimpy floats new book to publishers, for release January 21, 2009:
“MY PET GWOT”

That’s how I recall it, ES.

oh, jeez, now you’ve started it…. *g*

hi mary!

707!

Yeah, but we ain’t finished nothin’ yet!

good one, newt

I’m still hung up on the JAR graph. Just how in THE HELL can there still be anyone in this country who thinks that president shit-for-brains is doin’ a swell job?

Do 25% of American never watch any real news or read a newspaper?

Do 25% of Americans not have a mortgage, own a car, or buy gasoline or food?

Do 25% of Americans think that the Constitution sucks, and that torture is perfectly okay to be used on anyone our magical-thinking, pencil-dicked president decides is baaaad?

Who are these people, and why are they breathing my air?

That’s good. Did you make that up?

A poll came out yesterday - of course, I can’t remember which one - that had his rating at 21%. That’s more like it, I think.

It was incoherent. And almost entirely a fact-less and clue-less attack on Obama.

It was an op-ed. The editor said if he would write it again and actually explain what HIS plan for Iraq was, and oh - please define the word ‘win’ in the context of your plan.

He would have had trouble getting a D+ for the paper in freshman English Comp. High school that is.

They are the Gooper mouth breathers and scientists currently believe that they are a presentient life form, most notable for its viciousness and tenacity in defiance of all reason.

Dugg.

I think they’re my relatives.

Some fun WaPo chatz tomorrow:

Neil Patrick Harris at 10am eastern

Sophia A Nelson, who wrote the Opinion piece on Michelle Obama Sunday, at 10am eastern

Dana Priest on National Security at 12:30pm eastern

Dana Milbank at 1pm eastern

Questions accepted anytime!

Also Shailagh Murray sometime tomorrow, who Atrios calls “The Devil” but I don’t drum up questions for her.

I guess that I’m giving my nightmares names now. Something organic.
Either that or I’m in mindmeld with GregB.

Thanks for the digg!

Dugg!
Thanks neuro

dugg and thanks

Digg, dagg, dugged!

Ha!

Guaranteed to be as riveting and ground breaking as Jenna’s book.

So, 22 percent of House members are insanely loyal to McCain.

Isn’t that about the same percentage of Americans who are insanely loyal to boosh?

The hard core.

Ahnold’s plan would go over really well with state employees. Do you think he figures they’ll get price cuts to go with those wage cuts? (It’s probably better than a furlough or no pay at all, but Ghu, you’d think he’d know better by now.)

Likewise, dugg.

That is correct.

I see McSame is complaining about what Obama wrote in the visitors book at the Shoah. He’s claiming that Obama should have ‘done something’ about the genocide in Darfur.

Huh?

Wasn’t and isn’t that going on on Bush’s watch?

So we’ve gone from blaming everything on Clinton to blaming everyting on Obama and of course Bush is not responsible for aaaaannyyyything.

Hey, Teddy. Don’t forget that Siegleman will be here at FDL tomorrow morning at 9:00 pacific.

betcha ah-nold aint cutting his salary to min wage

sombitch.

I had not made that connection, but that sounds about right!

Still, it’s kind of sad less than half the House GOP supports McCain enough to write to the evil, liberal NYT on his behalf, isn’t it?

McCrazyOldManScreamingatClouds gets more incoherent with each passing minute.

So, 22 percent of House members are insanely loyal to McCain.

Either that, or 22% of Republican House members are *real* confident of re-election….

installed bumper sticker on car last weekend:
Get Disappointed by Someone New

I figure it sums up this election pretty well. Every time he ticks me off, I think about McSame, and decide there are much worse options than the DINOs that seem to be all that can get past the DLC and MSM.

Actually, Arnold declines his salary.

Arnold actually refused his salary as I recall.

And another proud ugly moment for a the bi-partisan branch of the Kennedy family. Maria must be scalding mad.
What a creep.

50 seconds in

They are really quite pathetic these days. It would seem that they have gone from rabid wolverines to dead dormice overnight.

makes for a nice write off on his taxes?

McCrazyOldManScreamingatClouds gets more incoherent with each passing minute.

Ya know, that might make me nervous if the Repub’s had *anyone* else that they could substitute as a candidate for the clearly goin’ down for the third time McLame…

I lurv that movie.

I hear that he gives the money back, but I haven’t seen proof of it. It isn’t like he actually needs that paycheck.

McBush seems to be having a meltdown…turned into a raving lunatic in front of the cameras and then cancelled a press conference and the main event for tomorrow– tryin ta get his drugs balanced perhaps?

And I have seen his security detail. It is multi-vehicular in the extreme.

That is almost enough to make me say something nice about a Republican, but I will resist the temptation under the circumstances.

Maybe they’re getting commemorative oil cans or something.

Well ya can’t write off stuff that you never get.

The Germans can hardly wait for Obama.

isn’t there an oil spill on the mississippi river - barge broke in half and its a huge environmental mess.. trying to remember where i read it… i think that is why he is not headed to the oil rig to parrot the talking points about no oil spill.

Is that his Indian name?

Once Arnie got separated from the Pete Wilson crowd he became a decent governor>

Seriously - even for an older man in great shape, this campaign has got to be a huge drain on his psyche. Pounded from most if not alll angles, daily.

He looks just terrible.

maybe so I just heard that somethin was bein cancelled>

TDS non-spoiler for my friends west of, well - me.

Be aware that there is a clip from CNN about five minutes in, and that it’s pretty gruesome. Be prepared to avert your eyes.

It’s Candy Crowley!!! AAAAAGGHHHHH!!!!

McJerk

Yep. Europeans love to love the American President, and they have been punked for a good long while.

Bubba - they loved the guy.

accckkkkk

thanks for the non-spoiler warning

Wang Dang. I got comment #100. Remember when you used to wax me at that every time?

400,000 gallons spilled last I read.

Pounded? By whom? Not by his base (the FCM). They are even editing out his gaffes now. Niiiice.

I think that is Achuli haswochi fumbi hacho (Crazy old man with a stinking little dick).

Bumper stickers needed!

Oh come on…minimum wage would get you to the gas station…ain’t that progress? I’d be delighted to get paid the minimum…seeing that the alternative is….starfuckinvation!!! /s

Yee-Haw! Way to go Willie…!

Willie Nelson agrees to Farm Aid-type event in support of Impeachment

it may get ya there but ya can’t fill up

Our one Willie is better than all their willies.

Not the MSM…
A whole bunch of different factions of his own party. Sure, some have come on board, but Gooper Senators are still scared shitless of him, and aren’t shy about saying it. And despite Grover Norquist’s sly attempt to not dis McCain, they hate his guts and would rather drive him than go with him. And Fundys aren’t happy, and pop up regularly to smack him around.

Fundys, “Fiscal Conservatives,” peers.

They got willies

Right. But you can always try to hitch a ride to work…you know, carpooling. Snort.
