With Lake Lucille as the backdrop, ten residents of Wasilla, Alaska delivered David Letterman's Top Ten List:
TOP TEN SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT SARAH PALIN
10. Sometimes Sarah calls McCain "Grandpa"
9. She stole that sexy librarian look from me
8. Recently passed legislation to build a bridge to Funkytown
7. Does great impressions of Tina Fey
6. Favorite meal: Moose nuggets and beaver jerky
5. Working on a "Knight Rider" spin-off about a talking snowmobile
4. Favorite book? The Late Show Fun Facts -- available at fine stores everywhere
3. Once spent a week in the hospital after attempting to put lipstick on a pit bull
2. To improve her foreign policy experience, she recently went to the International House of Pancakes
1. Only person I know who's not afraid to go hunting with Dick Cheney
What I found most surprising was that Letterman didn't crucify Palin.
However, he did hammer away at John McCain and Palin in his monologue.
LETTERMAN: You're here on a good night. So far, none of our guests have cancelled.
LETTERMAN: A lot of people don't know this but Paris Hilton was actually McCain's first choice for running mate.
LETTERMAN: John, John, here’s how it works: You don’t come to see me, you don’t come to see me, well, we may not see you on Inauguration Day.
LETTERMAN: (After saying that McCain wants to postpone the debate) Sarah Palin wants the vice presidential debate postponed 'til after the election.
LETTERMAN: John McCain and Sarah Palin were in town all week over at the UN, and he was introducing her to all of the world leaders. It was like 'Take your daughter to work day.'
Those are what pass for jokes on Late Night.
Letterman got really ugly again when he got to the desk.
He was merciless toward McCain for cancelling last night. Letterman would not let up. He continued his hissy fit and, again, made an absolute fool of himself.
It's amazing that someone his age can be so immature.

CBS News Ticked Off at Letterman
80 comments:
David Letterman's "hissy fit" is a voice of the frustration the American people feel about the failed leaderhip we've had, about the poor leadership we've had that substitute 'spin' and positioning ahead of governing. Senator McCain has not been an active U.S. Senator for months, and Mr. Letterman voiced nothing at all that I haven't heard from Americans without a national voice... he just made it funny. His showing live feed of Senator McCain in another studio, instead of in Washington, could be seen as castigation: however, it IS what it is... an example of a national cadidate for president LYING for his own gain and political positioning. The American voter is not stupid, regardless of how the media and candidates treat them. Mr. Letterman merely had a nationally televised position to vocalize the opinion of millions... with a sense of humor. Lighten up!
Yeah, the lying is what hurts his image more than anything. I'm betting Dave would have let him off the hook if he had just been honest and said he needed to do a more substantive interview. None of us heard the actual conversation between the two, but sadly, after the last few weeks, I'm going to have to believe Letterman's account of what was said or not said. Where's the McCain from 2000? I loved that guy. This guy just seems desperate or crazy. Maybe crazy desperate.
David Letterman unloaded on McCain because Letterman is jealous that McCain is funnier than Letterman is. I mean, suspend his campaign so he can help fix the economic system he is partially responsible for destroying? Hilarious! The guy should have his own TV show!
Hey Aaron... you are wrong- American Voters are stupid. They are the ones that put GW Bush in the Oval Office TWICE.
Of course McCain is crazy desperate. This is his last shot. Next election he'll be like 127 years old. When he says he wants "change", he'll be talking about his Depends. Forget about picking a young running mate w/ a pregnant daughter. Next time he'll be picking the daughter.
Thank you!! I looked for the transcripts of last night's show and found such a great site here! We laughed at the top ten list but we've laughed a whole lot more at your Web site! It so amazes me that people like you can totally ignore what's really going on while concentrating on the most trivial issues. Is that because your head is so far up your task?
"anonymous, 7:10 AM, September 26, 2008" --
With all due respect, I'm not the idiot.
If you look more carefully, you'll notice that Mother Teresa's words are NOT part of the Wall of Shame.
They're in a different section - "Noteworthy Quotations."
Letterman's taunting of McCain is too much.
For every person who finds Letterman's treatment of McCain amusing, there's another who finds it very unamusing.
I know Letterman voices the frustration of SOME Americans, but far from the majority.
Many, like me, are repulsed by the disrespect he's shown the Senator, and repulsed by the lib elite's attitude toward middle America.
When McCain spoke to Letterman to cancel his appearance, it is possible that his plans were to go back to D.C. immediately. Should McCain keep Letterman posted on any and all changes in his itinerary?
I'm sure the self-important Letterman thinks he deserves that.
I just wish he'd stop saying what a great man, hero, and role model McCain is.
That's inconsistent with the way he's mercilessly mocking him. It's a cowardly CYA move.
I think Letterman should lighten up. How many more nights is he going to rant about his bruised ego?
It's not difficult to tell at all.
There's a distinct separation.
It's OK to admit you made a mistake.
Some advice: Stop digging.
It appears your critical thinking processes are flawed. If I am the main guest at your house for dinner, and then I cancel hours before, but I show up at anothers house instead. That wouldn't make you angry? I bet if you took a poll it would show most americans agree with Dave. Politicians are known to lie for expediency but golly, let's not be so obviously insulting. I hope Dave beats this drum right up to the election. Go Obama!
I hope Letterman keeps beating this drum, too.
I also hope the lib media keep up exactly what they're doing.
And Keith Olbermann-- I hope he keeps talking.
They really know how to fire up the base.
Thanks for putting up the list, even though you obviously support McCain/Palin. Did you see Palin's interview with Couric? She is in the mold of another George Bush: a moron who can almost string a sentence together; an attractive parrot good at repeating Rove/Cheney talking points, but not so bright that she'd be capable of independent action. That's what the puppetmasters need, and believe me, while Obama is no moron, he will also be a puppet if he's allowed to "win". Thank God for Letterman, Olberman, and Stewart who skewer the manufactured lies about McCain being a maverick and a hero.
Lies about McCain being a hero??
Good grief.
I have to agree with one or many of u Anonymous about it is the same if I invited you over and the invitation had been accepted and then at the laast minute u back out but go elsewhere, where u know you will be seen then of course you should expect for me to be upset. It would not matter what the reasons are that you could not attend but to lie on top of it. Is this who America really wants? He has lied so many times now and been caught what a joke we should all be cracking jokes about him.
GO OBAMA
Dave is just being a comic as his job description says.
John Mc is just being a comic solving the economy problems.
oh my. you are scarily ignorant. read a newspaper please.
Aaron,
You are correct. We are frutrated and tired. Letterman joked about the reality many of us feel
Letterman was honest, and he joked about the truth. McCain cancelled and didn't show. But to say that he is part of the liberal elite media ignores the fact that during the Clinton administration he railed against him and went after him constantly. I didn't hear any complaints then about Letterman being a liberal. You just don't like it when he teases your guy. You need to get your head out your ass before its to late.
ugh... McCain deserved everything Letterman said and more. It's what every moderate American is thinking... What has happened to him? I used to think he would run an honorable campaign, but I don't think even he knows who he is anymore. At this point I wouldn't vote for him even if Kucinich were his opponent.
Though some of his comments were funny, I think Letterman was being a bit of a weenie. Yeah, it's a blatant ploy by the McCain camp, but get over it. Make a few a few jokes and move on (yeah, the pun was intentional). I'm sure guests have canceled on him before, with even more transparent reasons. I guess I can sympathize; I tend to rant uncontrollably when something bugs me. I'm guessing a majority of his viewers have opinions that run parallel to his. Or they probably wouldn't be watching. Either way, Letterman came off as kind of a prick.
Mary your seperation of shame and noteworthy simply is not designed very well to distincly distinguish the two. You are subcombing to what makes lots of software hard to use. You are to passionate about what it is you created and have no appreciation for what the user of your output experiences using it. This in the engineering industry, specifically for software, is called UAX research. I can tell you straight up if you had put your rightious determination of shame and noteworthy siimply in two seperate columns, your noise would be much easier to distinguish, and provide a much richer experince.
Your site, people like you, and anyone who supports people like you ARE a DISGRACE to anyone who stands for the true values of the Republican party. The values it stood for before being stolen by the evangelical right and lunatics like Bill O'Rielly and Sarah Palin - you think Iran is a terrible place because of their theocracy - LOOK AROUND! People like you want the exact same thing for America and it is DISGUSTING! Four planes weren't the only thing HIJACKED on 9/11, terrorists right here in our country, in our OVAL OFFICE, decided that a majority of the country shouldn't have any say in the direction their future was taking and have used lies and manipulation ever since to carry out a terrfying agenda of their own.
this blog is garbage
let's hope we don't see him at inauguration day.
His mocking is deserved. period.
His reasoning to cancel the debates is transparent.
The current polls show a decline (rapid is some) against Obama and in the area of the economy, polls show the voters think Obama is the better candidate.
Rasmussen Obama 50% McCain 45%.
Washington Post
ABC poll Obama a 52 McCain 43%
So, what does McCain do, tries to swoop in and 'appear' to save the day. Even though he has stated that economics are a weak rea for him. Even though through his aids (heard of the phone, e-mail, fax?) he could manage his input into the financial rescue plan.
Sorry, but the debates are where Americans tune into the presidential race, where many solidify their opinion. The debates ARE doing Americas business. We will be electing the man who will run this country at a critical time, if McCain cannot mutil-task then maybe he is not fit.
Hi Mary, Anonymous here. I don't believe that imperial wars create heroes. I believe they create criminals, as you will soon see, now that the Army is being stationed here, for domestic "crowd control". This precedent-breaking move would have the Founding Fathers up in arms, but is basically overlooked in our censored media. The heroes of the Vietnam era were the ones who refused to fight on principle (realizing that there was a draft, and many poor people were unfairly compelled by circumstance to fight.)
As much as many of you agree or disagree with what Letterman did on his show, this is the fact:
McCain disrespected a powerful member of the fourth estate. What he did was not politically well though out nor beneficial to his campaign nor his party.
Where are his advisors, who is handling the damage control on his public image. Fire that person immediately.
I'm not a McCain supporter, but I do enjoy the political staging of a good campaign. His has fallen down since the announcement of Palin as his running mate. Not all because of her, but because his media liason team are incompentent fools.
Dave's comments are mildly funny, but make right-wingers crazy because they are uncomfortably true. McCan't and his cronies are spinning wildly out of control. Words to describe it: flip-flopping, Johnny come lately, wacko, tired, weird. And I thought that John Kerry ran a crappy campaign. What are Republicans REALLY thinking? Oh nooooooooooooo...
"McCain abruptly suspended his campaign" - whatever - I saw at least four McCain TV commercials last night - just another political stunt from Emperor Palpatine, errrr, John McCain...
Wow Freedom Eden - are you actually for McCain Palin? You're scary
It was a hissy fit. All of Letterman's comments were about being stood up. Most of you may not like McCain but that's not at all what Letterman's rants were about. He's not the voice of America's frustrations, he was upset he got stood up. He could have used his show the point out flaws in McCains campain but chose to whine about him being a no show instead.
Positively unhinged.
These are the voices of the "change we need"?
Ahh, your Wall of Shame reminds me that there are truly amazing people in this country, despite the hideous control of the GOP for the past 8 years...
How did you get a quote from that fetus? Did you use a teeny tiny microphone?
Letterman was angry because McCain lied to him personally. Over half the country is angry with McCain for being lied to in mass-- that's why Letterman's frustration resonates so much with them.
If anyone can be labeled "elite", it would be the multimillionaire who owns 12 houses and just as many cars. McCain is out of touch with the 90% of Americans who own just 1 house (or are struggling to be ABLE to own a house), and have a single car that's 5 years old and seems to always need repairs at the worst time.
The leadership in this country needs to start concentrating on helping the 90% of us who AREN'T millionaires instead of the 10% who are.
That starts with electing Obama for president.
I appreciate your candor - I read your site because I have friends like you blindly supporting the McCain-Palin ticket - it just doesn't make sense to me. Do you really want 4 more years of this? John McCain hasn't had an original idea his whole, long life. Sarah Palin is really scary - how in the world did he pick her? Is it like Letterman says, after Paris Hilton turned him down? That's the only explanation that makes sense.
Personally, I think Dave's jokes are completely hilarious. If someone thinks these jokes (they are *jokes*, people!) are in poor taste, place them side-by-side with the sincere, completely serious statements uttered by several speakers at the Republican National Convention this year, such as insulting "community leaders" (disrespectful) and stretching the truth until it screams (e.g., claiming Democrats are "big-government liberals" while their Republican president expanded government to the tune of trillions of dollars of debt).
Regardless of considerations of taste (good or bad), getting caught in a lie (good job, John McCain) is not something a presidential candidate should do, is it?
Thanks for posting the Palin top 10; see, your site does have some usefulness after all.
I love the fact that McCain managed to lie twice about a single incident: once when he lied to Letterman about his having to go to Washington to "fix" the banking crisis--and then turned up across the hall doing an interview with Katie Couric; a second time when he said he had to postpone campaigning so he could "fix" the banking crisis (when he was in actuality taping that interview, and his lackeys were busy spreading their lies about Obama).
Mary, could you elaborate on why Biden makes your 'Wall of Shame' with this quote?
"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people. It's time to be patriotic … time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."
I'd like to make a comment concerning the "Wall of Shame" on this website. It appears to me that nearly every quote rings true and accurate of the problems and causes of them. The far right. Not republicans, but the far right-wing republicans. Freedom Eden seems to be a "Closet Liberal" website. I've found only one statement that was remotely right-wing, and that was the description of David Letterman's bashing of John McPain as a "Hissy Fit". Hilarious! I'm recommending Freedom Eden to all of my Democratic and all of my Liberal friends. Thanks!

The Republicans are banking on the fact that American's will be stupid enough to bypass the issues and only pay attention to the grandstanding, petty stuff. American's did it will "swift-boat" politics and Karl Rove just four years ago, they will likely do it again. Nevermind the fact the Republican's got us into a war we never should have started in Iraq, and caused a financial crisis as bad as 1929. They will just keep "shocking" stupid Americans with catchy news zingers and especially "fear" between now and November to pull it off.
In my humble opinion, Letterman had every right to say what he did, having been openly lied to by McCain.
Also, I suspect this wasn't the intention, but the Wall of Shame reads like Who's Who of awesomeness.
Mary, where do you get the metrics to claim that "I know Letterman voices the frustration of SOME Americans, but far from the majority." ??
I don't see a single poll amongst the numerous and varied polls (everything from Bush's / Cheney's approval rating to consumer confidence to Congress approval to the current Presidential race polls) to suggest that a MAJORITY of people don't find David Letterman's frustration in line with their own.
You are making statements without any factual support. That may be your feeling, your hunch, your opinion....but guess what? You obviously are a right-wing red blogger who commiserates with those who think like you. Hardly a majority in this country at this time.
Yet another blogger who chooses to disqualify herself by going off the path of pure opinion and pulling unsubstantiated census claims out her whazzoo.
All of this stuff about suspending the campaign is obviously just a political move. First he said he wouldn't do the debate until a deal was reached. Now, even though no deal was reached and the sides are farther apart than they were before, he changed his mind when he realized it wasn't going to buy him any points. And why should Letterman lighten up? It's a comedy show - he makes fun of people for a living. It would probably have done McCain some good to go on the show and show his lighter side anyway, rather than continuing to look like a crazy, angry old man who can't remember what happened yesterday.
And perhaps if McCain allowed Palin to talk to the press (and actually answer questions) people would take her more seriously and not like she's some sort of campaign intern.
First that you think that Lincoln quote supports you is sad and pathetic. Lincoln was a republican when they weren't the GOP and when they were the party of the Middle and Upper Class, that is socially liberal and financially conservative.
Second Letterman was right, McCain was a dope and he will suffer for it. Look at it this way most Americans want someone they can relate to as president. A great way to present that image is to go on talk shows, show you have a sense of humor. Then if the host mercilessly rips on them they look like the victim and the host looks like a jerk.
Third I was a soldier, don't thank me for the work I did, I am ashamed to have held arms against defenseless people at the command of my CinC. You can thank me for setting you strait though.
The world changes you can live in it or you can be an extremist.
I was responding to the first comment, by Aaron Wadsworth, specifically about "frustration" and anti-McCain sentiment.
Look at the polls.
Look at Gallup Poll Daily tracking.
I don't see MAJORITY support for Obama.
Third I was a soldier, don't thank me for the work I did, I am ashamed to have held arms against defenseless people at the command of my CinC.
You're ashamed?
Hissy Fit...LOL...If someone canceled on you to 'work on a crisis' (he helped create), then stayed in NY and did an interview with someone else instead you'd be pissed too. Letterman's job is to get ratings, he's got a story playing out with John McCain, a presidential candidate, a high profile personality, and is getting national coverage over this, including people writing about it in blogs like this one. Of course he's going to keep bringing it up and making jokes and bashing him. And you'll keep talking about it and more people will search the internet about it, and your blog will keep coming up...and getting more people to read your blog and watch his show and see what he's going to do next. It's not Letterman's fault McCain choose a running mate that has no foreign policy experience...except that she can see Russia from Alaska...it's not Letterman's fault McCain is old enough to be Palin's dad. he's a comedian and he's going to use the situations that are presented to him to do his job.
"Hey Aaron... you are wrong- American Voters are stupid. They are the ones that put GW Bush in the Oval Office TWICE"
dude...Bush didn't win the majority vote the first time around...he won the electoral vote...and the second time we didn't have any good choices...Bush...Kerry...we were screwed either way.
And yet Letterman still shows more maturity than McCain's disgusting, infantile, dishonest campaign...
Letterman had every right to say what he said. That is beauty of shows like his, John Stewart's, and Stephen Colbert's: they don't have to play by anyone's campaign rules or image. It is their job to express how they feel TRUTHFULLY through comedy. They have the opportunity to breakdown politics without being a politician and they take advantage of it.
Palin IS A JOKE (as well as Mccain), and it was insulting to the intelligent american people that he would pull a stunt like picking someone as UNQUAILIFED as her for a running mate.
Don't vote for this stunt-puller. No McBush-Falin', EVER.
why aren't quotes like this on your wall of shame?
"Tribal sovereignty means that; it's sovereign. I mean, you're a — you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And therefore the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities."
"I'm the commander — see, I don't need to explain — I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president."
"We need an energy bill that encourages consumption."
"My plan reduces the national debt, and fast. So fast, in fact, that economists worry that we're going to run out of debt to retire."
"See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction."
The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." —Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." —Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002
"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."
How can you put a quote about an ethnic group having pride in their heritage on your wall of shame...that's disgusting...
"Mexico does not end at its borders... Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico."
--FELIPE CALDERON
You're ridiculous.
2. To improve her foreign policy experience, she recently went to the International House of Pancakes
this is beautiful, and probably true, she can see Russia from Alaska and she's been to IHOP. She's got my vote!
I hope Letterman keeps up this McCain bash as long as possible. Maybe he could bring up the McCainBerry invention?
I went sirfing in Mexico last week...therefore I have more foriegn policy experience then Sarah Palin
I love how this site has been a total bonus to all the democrats looking to enjoy some Sarah Palin humor - as she's a nut afraid of witchcraft and "demons".
I get here to find lots of other "liberal" smart people have also visited, and enjoyed the "wall of shame" as a source of great quotes and truths.
As usual - some right wing nut tries to give us the koolaid and we just end up having a party instead.
It's a wonderful thing watching the GOP (grand oil party) catch fire and burn all the way down to the crash site....
Unless, of course, Dick Cheney can stage a rebellion and set the dark armies he controls marching to destroy us all.
I think Sarah has sucked the evil out of him - and is hoping to grow it for herself.
Lets just hope Obama can win this election before the demon completes it's transfer and she completes her morphing.
- someone who's actually read the defintion of "liberal" and knows it's a positive thing.
Let's not forget that Alaska boarders Canada...where most Americans will move to if McCain and Palin are elected...so that will be good foreign policy experience for her too.
Can we leave politics aside a moment and agree that the "take your daughter to work day" joke was pretty funny? Even a partisan has to have a sense of humor in that face of all this back-and-forth vitriol, right?
"I invite you to embrace Islam... There are no taxes in Islam, but rather there is a limited Zakaat [alms] totaling 2.5 percent."
What's wrong with this quote? Do you have a problem with Islams? Are we all terrorists to you? Is that why this quote is on your wall of shame? Are you a mindless follower of the fear and stereotypes the GOP has pushed down American's throats over the past 8 years, or are you just ignorant on your own account?
Wow Mary,
For a blogger grasping at straws and doing her best to polish the brass on the Titanic, heeding your own advice may be a viable option for you.
You mock someone undeservedly (Letterman) as a reply for him mocking someone (McCain) who definitely has it coming for pulling a no-show. "Lighten Up" you say. Should You?
"It's OK to admit you made a mistake," you say. I agree completely, you might want to try it.
"Stop digging"... says the digger...
"Good Grief" is a misnomer, none of the grief on this blog can be called good, it is just grief, and "positively unhinged" at that.
Fire up the Base? If by base you mean the lowest common denominator, the unwashed masses, then yes, indeed we are getting fired up, because even we realize that regardless of Fox News' brainwashing attacks, our gas is unaffordable, our rent is unaffordable, our kids are dying, and we're wondering how we're going to eat. And we know who's to blame.
8 houses and 13 cars doesn't speak for me, baby!
If you don't own your own plane, you have no business voting Republican.
Paul Nicholas, you said McCain is funnier than Letterman is? HAHA. You're funnier than BOTH of them.
I just found a humor website called pophangover that lists the top 10 interview questions Sarah Palin should be asked and it's funny as hell. I think you guys would appreciate it and it would lighten things up a bit!
Here's the link and enjoy!:
http://pophangover.com/?p=733
I love your Feingold quote, but what's it doing on your wall of shame? It's 100% true, so obviously you prefer to believe the lies you've been spoon-fed by O'Reilly and Hannity.
Keep Wisconsin blue!
blogger you're a moron. This is the first time Letterman has been funny in ten years. Get some dave, show those young punks you've still got it.
If you look at the Gross Domestic product of the U.S., the net profit of the country, over the last few decades, it has ALWAYS gone up during democratic presidents and ALWAYS gone down during republican presidents. Our capitalist economy is based on making money off of the lower and middle classes through their purchases (food, consumer goods etc). You can't raise prices on gas, food, clothing, health care, without increasing pay proportionally, and magically expect NOT to cripple the economy. The middle and lower classes are the lifeblood of America. The governmental initiates suggested by democrats would keep the middle classes stable and spending, and improve our economy in turn.
Conservatives like Mary have been brainwashed by the hype. 8 years of Bush was an experiment that ruined the country and Mary wants to try another 4 years??? WHY?!?
Try this quote instead:
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Letterman's a snarky, bitter old man anyway. Or at least his TV persona is. Just a nasty person. He can't even bother to plug Craig Ferguson's show -- that HE owns, that comes on right after him. Afraid that if people watch Craig, he himself, the great David Letterman, will suffer from the comparison.
Mary, would you leader approve of yours? Don't be a hypocrite and take a holier than thou approach to this crap...
You call it "holier-than-thou."
I'm just calling it like I see it.
I was trashed as a person and called names for giving my opinion. I didn't respond in kind.
Is that holier-than-thou?
I think it's hypocritical to be on the "Change Washington, transcendent Obama bandwagon" and then act in such a disrespectful manner.
Maybe it's not hypocritical at all. Maybe this is exactly what Obama incites in his followers. Maybe this stuff accurately reflects Obama and the change he envisions for the country.
In any case, I think it's unfortunate.
And not one person condemned "schmakt" for the degrading comment about Palin.
So much for raising the level of political discourse.
While "fuckable" might be a vulgar way to put it, the poster is absolutely right that the only reason Sarah Palin has gone anywhere in politics is that she's attractive.
Her only experience is governing a city with the same population as a high school football stadium and governing a state with the same number of people as Obama's STATE senate district.
And every time she talks on camera she reveals how ignorant she is, which is why the campaign doesn't allow her to talk to the press anymore.
Rapublicans love putting young, hot women front and center to make their point. Look at Fox News. Look at every "campaign spokesman" the McCain sent to be interviewed following the debate. They hope Americans will vote with their genitals and not their brains.
Mary, regarding the Wes Clark section on your wall of fame - do you think being shot down qualifies you to be president? Because thousands of Americans have been shot down in combat at one time or another, so I assume you would be glad to have any one of them run the country?
McCain has been in Washington for a quarter of a century and can't count his houses on one hand. Obama was raised by a single mother, is a completely self-made man, and began his public service by working with real people on the streets of south Chicago.
Would tha blogger like to explain why McCain is Joe Everyman and Obama is the elitist?
While "fuckable" might be a vulgar way to put it...
No, it IS vulgar and degrading to Palin and to women in general.
I think it's very revealing that Obama supporters, especially women, are on board with that sort of rhetoric.
It's similar to the way Dems have been completely comfortable using racist terms to attack Michael Steel, Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice, and others.
Very revealing.
Wesley Clark's statement came when Dems began their orchestrated and sleazy mission to discredit and minimize McCain's service.
Thus, he made the Wall of Shame.
"anonymous, 12:32 AM, September 28, 2008"--
You are the FIRST to raise the term "elitist" on this post.
Your question seems a bit misplaced.
Brilliant Top 10.
Loved every one especially #2.
Using the IHOP for foreign experience! The remarkable thing is the fanatical right would have bought it as the truth if Sarah Palin said it.
Noticed how many respected news organizations like CNN are reporting that Sarah couldn't see Russia from her window. She has never been there or sent any trade missions either. I would assume the fanatical right would say that Katie Couric from CBS is a liar. It's amazing how out-dated Republican ideology can twist someone's mind.
I guess a Six-pack of beer would cloud anybody's mind since the media darling Sarah Palin is a Joe Six-pack.
Yes, I've noticed how "respected" news organizations take their lines from fringe Left blogs, SNL, and late night talk show hosts.
Amusing.
Please... get a grip.
McCain had it coming. The only "lying" that is taking place now is McCain lying to himself.
What happened to the "straight talk express"? John McCain should have been the nominee in 2000, but was royally, unethically screwed over by the Bush folks. Now he's desperately trying to climb back using the same tactics. I really though he was above that.
And picking Sarah Palin as VP? I love Alaska, I love Alaskans - but most Alaskans I've met really have no clue what is happening in the lower 48. Ditto for Palin. John: She is not qualified to be VP, what were you thinking??? What happened to "country first"?
Can I get my money back that I donated to the McCain campaign before he picked Palin? I guess not.
Now I have a few weeks left to decide whether to vote for Barr or Obama.
Yes, you donated to McCain's campaign. Sure you did. I believe that.
