mccain health plan to offer free oral proctological examinations

Cindy's decided to jump in the game too.  Maybe I don't feel so bad about those awful names John called her after all.

“I would suggest Senator Obama change shoes with me for just one day. I suggest he take a day and go watch our men and women deploying," she also said, to boisterous cheers from the campaign."

I'll bet Barack would look faaaaaaabulous in your Manolos, Cindy.

Obama Sign In Yard Stirs Up Neighbors

BAREFOOT BAY -- A sign in one man's front yard has stirred up a controversy in his community.

Neighbors of Andy Lacasse said the sign, which reads "Obama Half-Breed Muslin [sic]," breaches the fine line between free speech and inappropriateness.

"I got nothing good to say about Obama," Lacasse told News 13. "If I see anybody touching that sign, I got a club sitting right over there."

DW Media Watch-Dog Report: Sexism Alert! Charlie Gibson Interviews Palin, Can't Stop Talking About Bush

(Todd and Sarah Palin w/ some of their children)

Look, I'm not gonna pussyfoot around on this issue, what Charlie Gibson did during his nationally televised interview with Sarah Palin the other night was a national disgrace. Period. ABC News scored a gigantic coup when it landed Palin and any responsible journalist would have taken the opportunity to ask her some relevant questions. Things like: How did you find time to stop the Typhoid Fever outbreak in your remote frontier village, while at the same time caring for, Babe, your giant blue ox? Or: It's been reported that you requested $400 million in federal earmarks to build a theme park called, Belviewood, in Adak based on the exploits of Lt. Belvedere James Frier IV. Do you think a flume ride called "The Milk Truck Ride to Nowhere" is the wisest use of our tax dollars? Should the federal government be asked to underwrite something called "The Naugahyde Round-Up Bumper Car Experience" while we are fighting two wars, suffering through an economic downturn, and our teenagers are getting knocked-up right and left ?

If the DW had been granted the first Palin interview, you can rest assured we would have gotten to the bottom of those issues...and more. Period. I mean, she keeps asking for federal funds, but Alaska has the most untapped resources of any state in the Union. Doesn't she know she's sitting on a goldmine? Anyway, the point is, our questions would have been tough, but fair, and the fact that she's a woman would never have crossed our minds. Period. What's the first thing on old Charlie's mind, though...bush! Bush, bush, bush, bush, bush. And not just bush..but, bush doctorin'! As far as I'm concerned that's between her and her gynecologist. Period. It got so bad, after a few minutes I couldn't help thinking about her bush, too.  I actually found myself preparing my own list of questions about her bush...and I'm a liberal! First, I wondered if it was as wild and untamed as the Alaskan back-country, itself. Oh, God, and then I started thinking about her Alaskan back-country. That's the way the MSM gets these memes started. You start out trying to have a substantive discussion of the issues, but some hack journalist starts talking about bush and by the end of the day's news cycle you don't have any pants on.

Anyway, I'm surprised Mrs. Palin sat for it, I really am. Sometimes you can spout a bunch of sexist crap like that to a woman and get away with it, but if you try that while she's PMSing you'll be lucky if she doesn't cut your dick off. I'd say Charlie got lucky this time. She was clearly well-prepared and well-cooched by the McCain people. Period. I admired the trim of her jib through the whole thing, frankly.

The New Yorker nails it.

"Cindy attended Central High, where she was the best-dressed girl in school, according to her senior yearbook. In 1968, she was named Junior Rodeo Queen of Arizona. “I could have been a brain surgeon at twelve and my father would not have been as proud of me,” she told Vogue recently. Her mother, Marguerite, nicknamed Smitty (after her last name, Smith), was “a very refined woman,” according to Sharon Harper. “She was polite and always dressed in such a lovely way. She taught Cindy impeccable manners.” At the University of Southern California—or the “University of Spoiled Children,” as her husband is fond of telling reporters—Cindy pledged the sorority Kappa Alpha Theta, and graduated in 1978, with a master’s in education. Her father gave her a Porsche as a graduation present. She crashed it. He replaced the Porsche with a gold Mercedes.

Many of McCain’s friends noted that after graduation she took a low-paying job as a special-education teacher at Agua Fria High School, near Phoenix, rather than a more lucrative position at her father’s company. McCain, too, frequently refers to his wife’s teaching background. She worked at Agua Fria for just one year."

Weekend Fun 'n Games: DW Convention Speech Madlib

Ever notice how when you're busy trying to run a campaign, suck up to some major donors, and set up oil derricks all over creation, the losers just seem to keep coming out of the woodwork?!? Seems like when you're running for president you can't go ten steps without hearing some sob story from somebody about how they lost their job etc. etc. etc. And the worst part is, your speechwriter wants to hear aaall about it so he can "work 'em in to the narrative." Well, now your worries are over...just insert random bullshit into this handy DW Convention Speech Madlib and get back to dinner with those lobbyists!

"And so I am reminded of (Common male name) and Linda (Midwesterny last name) from (town with pop. less than 50,000), (swing state). He recently lost his job at the (Greek God name) Cockring Factory when all the jobs were shipped over to (country with lots of little brown people) and Linda recently lost her (body part) in a semi-tragic recliner accident. They can't afford a caregiver to stay with their son, Little (cute boy's name), who was recently diagnosed with (who are we kidding..."special needs"). Now, my friends, you know, ordinarily you and I couldn't give two (plural noun) about (body part) like these, but it's an election year, so let's at least go through the motions. I promise you, though, if I am elected President I will (verb) them in the (body part) like there's no tomorrow and I'll keep on (verb) and (verb) and (verb) them until it's time to get re-elected!...Hey, all you (body part)suckers in the matching cowboy hats and western shirts, you gotta be (verb) kidding me! You aren't the (small, horse-friendly town in Oregon) Delegation by any chance, are you? What's that? Trigger ran away again? Sorry, can't help you with that.
