Here’s a possible scenario for tonight’s event: McSame refuses to commit to debate; Obama then commences a “town hall” meeting. In walks McPOW. Abracadabra: Town Hall Meeting. McS**thead wins the evening.

We were lied into the Iraq war no second chances ,trust by verify sounds right to me.
I want to see the exact figures and exact pay back time just like my bank requires of me when i drop by for a trillion or two.

No, McSame will time a compromise on the bailout just at the time the debate was to happen with the networks preempting the debate to cover McCain reading the compromise bill.

This is the second event he has tried to pull off a “looking” presidential stunt. Georgia was the first.

David Letterman is saving this country from the McCain campaign one night at a time!

Thanks Dave. ;-)

Tex Pitfield, president and CEO of Saraguay Petroleum in Atlanta, said in a radio interview there might not be enough gas in the Athens area for all of the football fans driving to the game.
”That gas needs to be used for people to go to work, and for people to take care of their families,” Pitfield told WGAU in Athens.
The governor’s office quickly rejected the idea.

Mornin Joe is dissin Ms McMoose and Mika still wants to hear more!

Why is it that Msm was ranting and raving about Edwards $400 haircut but nary a word about McShames makeup $5000+

Kissinger is many things, none of them flattering, but “naive” isn’t one of them.

It would be horrific if Mika said, “What would the nation think if McMoose walked into a room and a stuffed moose fell on her head?”. The violence of it all! Not funny! We would go after Mika and cradle Ms. McMoose because violent talk like that is not funny!

That 5 grand was about a week’s worth for Tammy Fae. I wonder if they let him keep the trowel.

Huh, she’s givin’ head to a stuffed moose?

Will McCain have time for a nap today?

Who freaked out? You are really full of it.

Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it!

r dangerfield

I hope so, he’ll need all his energy to pull the rip cord as he parachutes in for the debate.

Just a friendly reminder folks. Comments suggesting violence and/or harm on others, even if in jest, are not allowed here at FDL. This has been a long standing rule.

Thanks.

oh OK

Maybe this is how he will drop in

Our guv’s not the swiftest, is he? Two days ago he says there’s plenty of gas. Yesterday, he has to “correct” his statement. Then, the games must go on.

So glad to see Obama calling McSame on his shit. Now he’s got to call the MSM for repeating this FUCKING LIE ad infinitum.

If McSame does do a last mitute walk-in as Apphouse50 suggests, Obama shoudl callhim on that too. LOUDLY!

I want Dave/Leno to bring this up and do long riffs on it. It’s apparently the only way it will be mentioned on TV.

Well, he’s a goober but I am chompin at the bit for the game (course I walk to the stadium)!

Freaking out again huh? :)

Can McCain get 39 Senators to go along with him in fighting the deal that Dodd and Frank have negotiated? I don’t think so. Reid should introduce that bill and fight it out. Then we have the great fun of McCain asking Bush to veto a bill that he (Bush) helped negotiate.

I walk to the stadium

Gotcha beat. I walk to my couch to watch the games.

I have this vision of McCain sleeping on the couch on his way to MS with his makeup artist fixing his face.

Hmmm, already a couple skirmishes this mornin’. No place like home.

One of my main motivations IS to get up off the couch!

Someone’s mouth was writing a check that their ass couldn’t cash. . . so to speak.

lol!

I just emailed the Late Show:

Why stop at saying you feel like an “ugly date”? You could say you feel like McCain’s first wife must have felt being thrown over for Cindy.

Or that McCain wants to “help” with the financial crisis caused by deregulation with even more deregulation and we could expect this stance should he be elected president.

Or that McCain stepping into the financial crisis is cover for him running and hiding from his debate with Obama.

Breaking. McCain and his sidekick are headed toward the debate.

Oh what a tangled web we weave when trying to get the SHOCK AND AWE DOCTRINE over the stupid people.

The New York Times, posted on the campaign’s Web site on Wednesday, campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb said that Davis “separated from his consulting firm, Davis Manafort, in 2006.” (A senior campaign official, in an e-mail statement to NEWSWEEK that was not for attribution on Tuesday night, said “Rick is no longer affiliated with the firm.”)

But those statements appear to have overstated the extent to which Davis had severed his relationship with his lobbying firm. Filings made by “Davis Manafort Partners” with the Virginia Corporation Commission as recently as April 1, 2008, show that Davis was still listed as one of only two corporate officers and directors of the firm, according to records on the commission’s Web site reviewed by NEWSWEEK. That filing records Davis as the “treas/clerk” of the firm; his business partner, Paul Manafort is listed as the president and chief executive officer.

But it is all fungible.

The Arizona senator’s presidential campaign paid at least $90,000 to Davis Manafort Inc., the firm Davis founded with Republican lobbyist Paul J. Manafort, during the first six months of last year, while Davis was serving as CEO for the campaign.

Imagine the dilemma: destroy your campaign to save it, or plod along while it self-destructs. Poor Krusty

Dedicated to Paulson, McSFB, et al

Just desserts.

lol

So is McCain trying to pull a “Gang of Fourteen” and mediate an outcome like he says he did with the avoidance of the use of the nuclear option?

The Gang of 14 was a term coined to describe the bipartisan group of Senators in the 109th United States Congress who successfully negotiated a compromise in the spring of 2005 to avoid the deployment of the so-called nuclear option (or constitutional option) over an organized use of the filibuster by Senate Democrats. The nickname is a pun on the so-called Gang of Four who ruled China after the death of Chairman Mao.

Republicans

* John McCain of Arizona
* Lindsey Graham of South Carolina
* John Warner of Virginia
* Olympia Snowe of Maine
* Susan Collins of Maine
* Mike DeWine of Ohio (lost re-election in 2006)
* Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island (lost re-election in 2006)

Democrats

* Joe Lieberman of Connecticut (defeated in the Democratic primary of his state in 2006 but re-elected in the general election as an Independent)
* Robert Byrd of West Virginia
* Ben Nelson of Nebraska
* Mary Landrieu of Louisiana
* Daniel Inouye of Hawaii
* Mark Pryor of Arkansas
* Ken Salazar of Colorado

A divide and conquer? Then swoop in the “hero”? Sounds like a sick, manipulative hero complex to me…But it has been successful in the past.

Many fell for it at the time…Lots of us did…

Obama beware…media IS fickle…

Off to swim in the great capitalist (bwahahahahahahahha) cesspool.

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.

Namaste

Newsflash, Sebastian Mallaby: The Economic Village Is Burning

Damn, Dave, tell us how you really feel.

I ask all the intelligent minds here to ponder this -WTF is really going on in Congress?? With jackoffs like Hoyer and Reid in particular. What’s with their kissing the Rights ass all of a sudden – letting just a handful of hard core right wingers in the house stall everything when there was a clear majority ready to roll.

Hoyer almost jumped on Frank when Frank suggested it was just a few in the house bogging things down. It’s almost as if Hoyer and Reid were deliberately stalling things so so that now CNN is reporting the “trouble is between Democrats and house Republicans. What!?

How did our dumb-ass Democratic leaders allow George Bush’s plan to appear to be the Democrats favored plan, with McCain jumping in to “stop the Democrats from working with George W. Bush”.

As I’ve felt all along, I think the same !@#$%# Democratic hardliners are at it again, making Bush policies pushed by Democrats appear ‘bi-partisan’, just like they did for the Iraq war and the Patriot Acts. While I do believe there is a serious credit crisis – the secret details are such that we’d vote out those same Congressional Democrats – too, if we knew the truth.

And they’re going to screw over us, again, and Obama to get their way.
