McCain's embarrassing campaign.

Keven Drum

(a) Politico reports that La Palin has spent $150,000 on campaign outfits,
(b) John McCain’s brother calls 911 to complain about a traffic jam and then curses at the operator for telling him to get off the line,
(c) the New York Times reports that Palin also spent $30,000 or so on hair and makeup over a period of two weeks, and
(d) a white woman who claimed she was attacked by a black Obama supporter admits that the whole thing was a hoax.

Tim F

(e) He was also endorsed by al Qaeda.
(f) Plus, some of McCain’s own advisors are abandoning the campaign and endorsing Obama.
(g) Then there is the possibility that McCain is hanging out in Pennsylvania because the Obama campaign played him out of competing in competitive states.

If the incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain’s quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting.

Republicans simply got caught race-bating. And McCain just ensured his lost.

"Ashley the Fraud."

Dumb McPalin racist.

Deep thought of the day.

Will Sarah McBush be wearing ANY of the $150,000 worth of clothes she bought today in 2012?

BONUS!! Will McPalin pay any of the taxes she owes on the 'gifts' she accepted?

Ask Dr Laura if you have any questions.

Her she is!!!!

Yea, it's her.

Baracks Mom?

Looks like Michelle in white.

Baracks Mom?

Explains the attraction to Michelle. Just sayin'.

The most intriguing thing about Rachel Maddow's set..

..is Rachel Maddow. Her set is really fucking ugly. Please try not to set her up for failure.

Republicans bought Sarah Palin $150,000 in clothes last month That's also a gift. And it's a taxable gift.

It doesn't matter if it's for work. And it doesn't matter if the Republicans now say they're going to donate the clothes to charity after it's over.

Sarah Palin can't accept $150,000 dollars in goods, use them, then later give them away to charity and not pay taxes on the gift she received. By the time she gives them away to charity, they're used clothes - and worth about 1/3 of their original value. So, sure, she can take a tax deduction on the $50,000 in clothes she's giving away (a savings of perhaps $15k or so), but she still has to pay $50k or so in taxes on the $150,000 gift she received in the first place. That means Palin will owe $35,000 net in taxes due to her big shopping spree at Neiman Marcus and Saks. And the Republicans can't help her pay for it, or she'll be paying taxes on their help as well.

Of course, Palin is no stranger to failing to report her taxable income - she did the same thing while serving as governor of Alaska.

Mad Cow detected in Moose

Jonah Goldberg's Mountain Dew and Cheetos diet played havoc with his gut.

He was constantly farting. And the smell, oh God, the smell--methane with a sickeningly sweet hint of Cheetos--was unbearable.

(in english accent) Well played! Well played!!

Apparently, I Screwed Up

fucking brutal

That may be the single most satisfying bit of political TV I've ever seen. Tweety was, in the words of the legendary Nathan Explosion, fucking brutal.

McCain gets endorsed by Al Qaeda

‘Al-Qaeda will have to support McCain in the coming election,’ said a commentary posted Monday on the extremist Web site al-Hesbah, which is closely linked to the terrorist group. It said the Arizona Republican would continue the ‘failing march of his predecessor,’ President Bush.

Republicans hate America.
