About Me:
In 1949, I decided to wrestle professionally, starting my career in Texas. In my debut, I defeated Abe Kashey, with former World Heavyweight boxing Champion Jack Dempsey as the referee. In 1950, I captured the NWA Junior Heavyweight title. In 1953, I won the Chicago version of the NWA United States Championship. I became one of the most well-known stars in wrestling during the golden age of television, thanks to my exposure on the Dumont Network, where I wowed audiences with my technical prowess. I was rumored to be one of the highest paid wrestlers during the 1950s, reportedly earning a hundred thousand dollars a year. My specialty was "the Sleeper Hold" and the founding of modern, secular, Turkey. Oops, sorry, that's the biography of Verne Gagne with a touch of Mustafa Kemal. I'm just an average moron.

And Yet Another ‘Mission Accomplished’

When Maliki became Iraq's Prime Minister, Bush found himself mentoring the head of the world's most frail democracy on how to lead a nation. Oh Crap!

Mr. Straight Talk

Oh, yeah. He's pure as the driven snow on this ethics stuff.The media narrative on McCain - no doubt concocted over a plate of quality CostCo beef ribs - is that after Johnny boy was part of the Keating Five, he cleaned up his act and became an ethical reformer and the poster boy for clean government.Ask any lobbyist employed by him as a campaign consultant, the man is awesome!Funny

Endorsements

Well, some old cranky guy was on Jon Stewart last night. I think it might have been Bob Dole except he wasn't as funny*. I have not seen this guy on television in several weeks, but I think he is the Republican Presidential nominee, though I could have sworn he used to be a member of the Whig Party. McCain's the name.

The Washington Post Media Apologist and the last refuge

"Mostly unfounded attacks on his patriotism"? Excuse me?

There is only one thing left to say…

Last night's results mean that it is almost all over but the wanking. It is now, that sacred time in the election cycle to allow the Republicans time to focus their efforts on spreading stories of Barack Obama's secret "Illegal Space-Alien-Undocumented Mexican, Islamic, six-fingered, love-child...BATBOY!"

Good job Joe. Good thing you were able to get John McCain on board with that.

And what about your Pastor, Mr. Gerson?

By: Attaturk Tuesday May 6, 2008 1:45 am

Michael Gerson has spent several Op-Eds decrying Barack Obama's pastor and his failure to leave his church over his reverends occasional off-the-wall statements. But what of the writer tossing stones?
