Reflections on a Selection of Election Inspections
There’s so much electoral fast food in the media that it’s difficult to consume it all. Nevertheless, here’s a sampling, along with the consequent gaseous by-products of my digestion…
SNL Palin Impersonation is Sexist
McCain advisor Carly Fiorina calls SNL impersonation of Palin ’sexist’:
A top aide to John McCain said Monday she thought comedian Tina Fey’s impersonation of Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin on NBC’s Saturday Night Live over the weekend was sexist because it portrayed the Alaska governor as lacking in substance.
In the same spirit as Carly Fiorina, I’m charging John McCain with being insensitive in his potrayal of an old white man.
Despite McCain’s behavior, all old white men aren’t lying, cheating, opportunistic hypocrites with bad combovers. It’s time McCain stopped promoting that stereotype.
McCain should also give the senile dementia act a break; it’s just not funny when someone makes fun of people suffering from advanced mental deterioration, and yet he puts on his silly dumb forgetful out-of-touch dementia act nigh every time he faces a camera. Stop it already, John, or one day that “nobody’s home” look on your face will stick.
Electoral Poll Shows McCain and Obama in Dead Heat
The latest CNN Poll of Polls shows (you guessed it…) McCain and Obama locked in a tie:
In the latest CNN survey of several recent national polls, Obama and McCain are locked in a dead heat at 45 percent each with 10 percent who remain undecided with 50 days remaining until Election Day.
Really? A dead heat? Of course it’s in the Main Stream Media’s interest to advertise the race as a dead heat, because it keeps people watching.
Well, sorry to spoil the illusion of a tight race, but ask Al Gore what an empty victory winning the popular vote can be. And then, instead of looking at CNN’s poll of polls, check out CNN’s electoral vote based on the “dead heat” poll:
- Obama=233, McSame=189 (as of September 15).
Also, polls question likely voters, which excludes hundreds of thousands of young voters and recently-turned-non-apathetic citizens who’ve taken a financial butt-whupping the last few weeks, then had to pay gouged gasoline prices to support another quarter of record Exxon profits. Still, I wouldn’t put it past Diebold to deliver another Republican “God created oil, homosexuals, and exit polls so he could burn ‘em” victory.
McCain and Palin’s Straight-Lies Express
Also, this just in from the McCain-Palin straight-lies express:
- McCain’s tax cuts for the rich will trickle down to you.
- Palin always opposed the federally funded Bridge to Nowhere, Alaska.
- Obama became pregnant with Satan’s child in 2004, my friends, then went to an abortion clinic and murdered the gay devil’s love child.
- The real Joseph Biden actually died in 1988, but the surviving Beatles replaced him with a look-alike, sound-alike Communist impersonator.
- It really doesn’t matter what unqualified dipstick might become President, as long as Palin or any other dipstick surrounds herself with wise advisors, like George W. Bush did.
Who knows what whoppers (and “whoppers” is NOT a breast reference) McCain and Palin will spin for us tomorrow. The looted middle class and their bankrupt grandchildren can hardly wait! ;-)
But wait we must. So, in the immortal words of Tigger: Ta ta for now!
