David Axelrod describes the debate about Not-Joe The Not-Plumber as "draining." You go, Dave!
Alas, he did not say that the McCain campaign was plunging into the muck and wallowing in the sewer, nor did he refer to McCain as "the plumber’s friend." And would it have killed him to work in a Ted "Toobz" Stevens reference?
Oh well. Baby steps.

I hope this doen’t make McCain think we’re supporting him, I’d hate to disappoint the old codger…not
Joe The Plumber Seeks Book Deal
Why can’t this election be over already?!?! blech, I grow tired of seeing random republicans on my teevee, not to mention that mavericky dude and that lady who has a gift for appropriating ‘gifts’ for herself and her family
Does this make Joe the Plumber a Palin
rotorrooter?Rotor voter?
Aloha, Ya’ll! I found out today that M&C is ranked at 306 with Beltway Blips… The Lake is ranked 46!
not to mention that mavericky dude and that lady who has a gift for appropriating ‘gifts’ for herself and her family
umm, would you be referring to “the wrinkly old white dude” and one of the to-be-deposed-tomorrow Palin family crime syndicate?
They’ve never even heard of mine…
ding ding ding
When this thing is over and we have made history, I hope to never hear the word “Maverick” again. Or, You Betcha.
Signed, Demi, the Writer.
Nor Spook and Muffin’s Beach House!
Kool CT! you deserve the Kudos for all you put into M&C!!
You have to admit, though, there are some heavy hitters here. (I do love a good alliteration.)
My seven year old answered the phone yesterday during dinner.
“Hello?” (pause) “Hello?” (pause) “Ick” (hangs up phone).
“Who was it?” asked Mrs Peterr. “I don’t know,” said The Kid, “but when they said to vote for McCain I just hung up.”
That’s a seven year old who know how to deal with robocalls.
McCain should hire G. Gordon Liddy to resurrect the plumber’s squad of Nixon era Watergate infamy to plug the leaks in his campaign…
There’s no substitution for great parenting.
Kudos to you dad.
I apologize for my comment no. 5
Or “My Friends”
I am not McCains fucking friend even if he gave me one of his houses could I be a friend of the fake Hero..
aat least I didn’t wink when I said it
it was yet another kick ass segment on KO.
If McCain had taken the high road with his campaign like he promised, he wouldn’t have made such a big splash in the (not so) Tidy Bowl.
Mahalo, nahant! I found out that Michelle Malkin, NRO’s the Corner and Andrew Sullivan has linked to my posts recently… Where have I failed…? ;-)
have to add:
also (as a word filler)
preparedness
I hope to never hear the word “Maverick” again.
Soon to a sentiment shared by John McCrazy upon his imminent return to the Senate..
“Yo, Senator motherfucking Maverick, whatta you gonna do for the party today, you asswipe?”
Is there a Shakespeare play (or an ancient Greek one) in which a character knows what is right but goes ahead and does what he knows is the wrong thing despite his better judgment, and ends up paying tragically for listening to the dark side of his self?
I’m okay with seeing it, as long as it’s *always* in quotes.
don’t forget to add, ‘my friend’
I will, however, continue to use “Caribou Barbie” and “Bible Spice”
I prefer this spelling:
Maverick™
I kinda like “Fauxverick”.
i have an affinity for bible spice
yeah. It’s called
“I, Lieberman”
Personally, I would have liked to hear ‘circling the drain’.
the term, not the person
It’s okay. You have 12 days left. But, after that, watch it, bub. ;)
Oh my God the Rethugs linking to your posts, you must have better connections to the skinny than they do(:>))
dog bless Wonkette for that one
Oh dear, oh dear. I just winked at you…at #40.
Although “McCain & Barbie” has kind of a ring to it.
I also like “Eye Candy/McCain ‘08″
Love it.
Almost certainly but I can’t tell you what it is because I am an ignoranimus, an imbessel, an ultra-maroon. Anyway, all McCain’s sides are dark, anything else is a pretense.
the funniest hing is that I am having a ton of friends, co-workers and acquaintances calling me to convince me to vote for Obama….. the first time I asked them if they were out of their mind thinking I would need convincing but since then I just listen to them, let them do their talking points and then tell them that I already voted …… for Obama twice….. first in the primary and now in the general……
I thought Sarah was running, not Todd (I kinda like trashy guys)
more eyesore than eye candy
Or I just happen to *gasp* read and research more…! ;-)
teehee. well that is one way to find out how passionate they are about their candidate
The wingnuts seem to like her. She’s more earsore than eyesore for me.
*gag* you have the hots for ‘Tahhhd’?
OT, but I can’t let this pass fron the NYT:
No shit.
This would be like taking away the traffic signals & posted speed limits out of your city, then being surprised at all the accidents.
mr wobbs does not find her attractive at all…quite the opposite called her a dick killer
and not in a good way *g*
It’s like the Spanish Inquisition sketch, over and over again.
I did use the qualifier that I like trashy men…and that I read Wonkette, what more needs be said
Yeah, trashy guys always seem to do okay. Reminds me of Pete Townsend on some British pop program in the mid-’60s.
audience member: “You say your group doesn’t have any quality, well, why don’t you try to give it some?”
Townsend: “No, you don’t understand, if you steer clear of quality, you’ll do alright…”
Todd looks like a not very successful used car salesman to me.
Isn’t that pretty much *every* male Republican?
At 11:00 et tonight a poll will be released on the Bachman race. But, now, I can’t find where I read it for the link.
hmm not even with beer goggles. I’m just way attracted to intelligent and funny men. he comes across as neither
Huffpo has more on the implosion of the AZ Repug Party….. McCain’s Home State Party Imploding, Plagued By Infighting And Scandal
Sleaze and espionage ….. but then what else is new…..
the word ‘weasel’ comes to mind
Considering the price of his clothing.. that’s really saying something.
There’s something about the way he holds his head that makes me want to look away.
They sure do!
At first this worried me because of the ‘fire up the base’ thing, but the more she fires up the base, the more independents go running away from her and McCrazy.
I hope she does become their leader, it will insure their minority status for years.
Yep, but some are worse than others. Todd just looks like a con man.
He seems like the not-very-bright slab of beef who was the popular jock in high school and never evolved much farther than that.
I live with an intelligent and funny man – the dumb, trashy ones are just fun to play with
exactly
to each his/her own. I figure, I would lose 1/4 of my IQ messing with someone that dumb.
Wow, it must be real sleazy…
lol, that why I read this every day – to re-charge
There – that says it exactly. Speaking of that, why do they have five children? They don’t seem to care about them and they could just “use” one or two – they didn’t need to have five to drag around for PR.
If I can’t *talk* to someone, it’s pretty much impossible to do anything more than that.
Unless, of course, it’s followed by “starring James Garner.”
Christy’s upstairs…
Muh Gawd!!!
A simile.
And an apt simile, a very apt simile, at that.
You give me hope, STTP, that ‘nuance’ may be resurrected, that once again, reason and thoughtful consideration might find, if not favor, at least a hearing.
Almost un-fecking-believable, but welcome as the springtime after a long, long winter of discontent.
;~D
I’m with you on that. That and kissing. If you can’t kiss, I have NO use for ya
Yep. The kind that spends all their time preparing for a snowmobile race.
He reminds me of a supervisor where I used to work. Coincidentally, also a Pentecostal. “Compassionate Conservative” on the outside, intolerant, self-serving zealot on the inside.
I guess that just makes me “Wil, The Unrepentant Gay Tramp”
Or me the worst pickup artist on earth.

More than likely CT… these guys don’t have a clue!! They just use the TALKING points put out by NRC as gospel!
Could some Democrat with a big D (like an elected official in a leadership role or maybe a big Obama spokesman) maybe suggest the possibility that Joe the plumber was a paid plant for the McCain campaign? Like maybe he lived in Arizona (he did) or had dealings with the Palins in Alaska (he might have) or find the damn money that paid him to show up at just the right time before the last debate to make a fool of himself? In any case McCain thinks he is getting his money’s worth. I think he’s proving just how stupid he is.
Robo-rooter?
Apparently the Republicans don’t like her voice, either. She now has a voice coach! At this rate, she should be worth a million dollars before Nov 4.
