Video of McCain/Palin rallies in PA, WI


Whoops! Sorry. Wrong one. Here we go.



Waukesha, WI



Bethlehem, PA

I’m sure you can see how I could confuse the two. It’s getting harder to tell them apart.

Out of bullets

If Rachel Maddow is right (and I have no reason to doubt her), the McRove campaign is in what can only charitably be described as desperation mode. Which would probably explain why McCain is pulling out of Michigan.

Nevertheless, desperate people do desperate things. Remember, back in July, McCain named Karl Rove protégé Steve Schmidt as his campaign chair, and Rove himself is the Padawan of Lee Atwater — he of the infamous “Michael Dukakis set free a scaryblackman for the sole purpose of raping your lily-white virgin daughters” Willie Horton ad.

And so, I think we can expect the McCain campaign to go something like this from now through Nov. 4th:

The high cost of nativist racist immigration policy

Only in America is this story possible:

Henry Cejudo’s uniquely American story started with a single mother who taught him what it meant to truly fight. His mother Nelly — an undocumented immigrant — moved him and his siblings several times chasing work and opportunity, scraping by, ensuring her kids got an education. And along the way, the family found a channel for both the tough resilience she modeled and the country they loved through the sport of freestyle wrestling.

And yet, if the likes of Stalkin’ Malkin, Neal Boortz or The Savage Weiner ever got their way, Henry Cejudo would be stripped of his citizenship, and America would be out another gold medal in the Olympics. If nothing else, think of the endorsement deals that American companies would be missing out on if that happened. So wingnuts are willing to harm our economy in order to keep Latinos from achieving the American dream. Lovely.

But that’s not all! The naked racism promoted in Greater Wingnuttia is preventing the NBA from hiring talent from certain parts of the Middle East:

A few NBA teams have reportedly reached out to Iranian basketball prospect Hamed Ehadadi to discuss a possible transfer to the United States. But, current federal law prohibits the teams from negotiating with Ehadadi:

  • In the letter, which was sent Friday, NBA legal counsel wrote: “It has come to our attention that representatives of Hamed Ehadadi, an Iranian basketball player, may be contacting NBA teams to discuss the possibility of signing Mr. Ehadadi to an NBA player contract.

    “We have been advised that a federal statue (sic) prohibits a person or organization in the United States from engaging in business dealings with Iranian nationals.”

  • The NBA is applying to the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control for a license that, “if granted,” would allow teams to negotiate with Ehadadi.

So much for our efforts to make the game we invented a truly global phenomenon. Thanks, wingnut wankers!

Helping those who can’t help themselves

Seriously, Cokie? A word of advice:


When you’re in a hole, STOP DIGGING!

Oh, and one other thing: STICK IT.

That is all.

Meanwhile…

Neal Boortz cites an Austin Hill piece over at America’s Second-Shittiest Website™ in order to channel the Doughy Pantload on the possibility of an Obama defeat in November.

Yeah. It’s that bad.
