Palin/McCain Runaway Straight Talk Express
The Palin/McCain Straight Talk Express has recently been summed up nicely by the new single from AC/DC:
- One hot angel
One cool devil…
Runaway Train
Running right off the track
And not only has the Straight Talk Express run right off the track this week; the wheels came off, too…
Chuck Hagel Straight Talk
Yesterday finally saw some straight talk from the Republicans, but it didn’t come from John “POW” McCain. Instead, it came from fellow Republican Senator Chuck Hagel extolling the experience of moose enemy number one, Sarah Palin:
She doesn’t have any foreign policy credentials. You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don’t know what you can say. I think it’s a stretch to, in any way, to say that she’s got the experience to be president. I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, ‘I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia.’ That kind of thing is insulting to the American people.
I agree. It’s insulting to the American people.
And even though a power failure shut down the Hadron Supercollider earlier this week, there was a dramatic increase in the quantum probability that you and I will both travel down the future multiverse branch in which Chuck Hagel sits at Rumsfeld’s old Pentagon desk coincident with Obama occupying an office that’s not quite a rectangle, not a circle either — more of an elliptical oviform deal.
Lynn Forester de Rothschild Straight Talk
Hillary supporter turned McCain campaigner Lynn Forester de Rothschild — who won’t vote for Obama because he’s too elitist for her royal-blooded taste — has decided to court voters for McCain by calling McCain’s supporters “rednecks.”
Watch: Lynn Forester de Rothschild uses the “R” word.
Is this baroness of the famous international banking family really stumping for McCain? Might she be a covert pundit secretly obeying orders from the Obama camp? No matter which candidate truly warms her soul, I’m hoping she keeps running her aristocratic mouth.
John McCain Straight Talk
Bomb, bomb, bomb…bomb, bomb…Spain?
Watch: McCain disses Spain.
Seriously, I think McCain is going senile…he is really struggling mentally…he’s not the John McCain he used to be. Reminds me of the second term of Reagan when he just lost touch, let Ollie North run the show, and everybody tried to hide Ronnie from the cameras because he embarrassed himself when he went off script. The debates should be interesting…
UPDATE
Yesterday John McCain said if he was President he would fire the head of the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission). Apparently, somebody pointed out to McCain overnight that the President appoints, but doesn’t have the power to fire the SEC chairman.
So, this morning, McCain’s handlers/trainers changed his canned speech to say he would recommend the SEC chairman resign…only McCain screwed it up! He said because of the current financial crisis, he would recommend the head of the FEC (Federal Election Commission???) resign. I’m serious…McCain is tipping into dementia before our eyes…something’s not right with his marbles.
Read and Watch: McCain confuses FEC with SEC.

The endorsement by Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild will be among McCain’s most valued. Here’s why.
Burr: Hahaha…great post about Lady Lynn Rothschild. “I have so much respect for Rupert Murdoch, I cannot even tell you” — that quote alone sends the willies up my spine. Glad she’s batting for McCain camp now.
Are we that hell bent on jumping out of the frying pan into the fire? One side is being scutinized and questioned on every tiny point, while the other isn’t questioned on a single thing and allowed to say what ever he wants and it’s taken as the gospel truth.
Last night’s Bill Moyer’s Journals was quite intresting in that we should be questioning both candidates about the issues and advisors they are surrounding themselves with. It appears that no matter who we elect, we will be getting four more years of Bush as the insiders rule the roost and all we get is promises.
The above comment comes from pelmo, of course you could tell with all the grammatical errors.
On behalf of rednecks everywhere, I reject and
resent Lady de Rothschild’s abject sucking up.
I just hope the stench of rot from the McCain camp finally becomes powerful enough that even rednecks have to admit it to themselves and the fear of getting an infection overcomes their fear of blackness.
All kidding aside, the bigotry revealed by this campaign has shown
the ugly underbelly of America, and it truly ain’t pretty.
If we allow racism and election manipulation to throw it to the GOP this
time, our status as a failed state will be self-evident and become undeniably
painful…even for the piggies and the blue meanies.
Best explanation for the way our government is being run (and that includes McCain’t and company) is this from an Americablog reader:
“For all the Bushista song and dance and singing of hymns to US jingoism, they are not Americans. They aren’t citizens of any nation in the world. They exist in a layer beyond nations, beholden to and recognizing only other extranational actors. Their allegiance is to their class, not to any country or people not of them.
We aren’t part of their world.”
So we can continue to sit at home and bitch and they will continue to run things as they always have.
That is very well put, Lynne.
But some of us have been screaming the very same message from the virtual rooftops for a long time, and not just sitting home bitching. Even when it was dangerously against the tide, and sounded like voices in the wilderness.
The cow’s long gone, and everybody’s lining up to slam shut the barn door.
