McCain in the Style of Frank Miller

http://shep.ca/pages/maverick.html

John McCain in the style of Frank Miller’s “The Dark Knight.”

Hilarious!

Racism is not “political satire.”

The AP reports that a conservative group at the so-called Values Voter Summit (though how Tom DeLay fits into “values” makes me scratch my head) has stopped selling their “Obama Waffles” due to complaints of offensive material on the boxes.

The aforementioned waffle boxes show a bug-eyed, big-lipped, buck-toothed cartoon Obama with middle eastern headdress.

Not cool.

Kudos to my pal Rex for forwarding this news.

A Post Not About Sarah Palin

I was all set to combine my Sarah Palin posts from the LubbockOnline Forums into one giant Palin mega-post, but I’ve decided to pass.

It’s not like the information about her is hard to find (now, anyway). Everything from bridge-to-nowhere to troopergate to irresponsible mayoral spending to AIP associations to Jesus-Camp-esque church membership is out there.

It’s time to return to the issues, which Democrats overwhelmingly will win on this year.

After all, what’s the difference between a red herring and a poorly chosen vice presidential candidate?

Lipstick.

Daily Show Hits a Home Run

Remarks of the Palin apologists ring hollow exactly because the GOP and its surrogates have been employing every kind of attack they can come up with for a year and a half already.

After nearly a week of getting to know who Sarah Palin is through research, I’m almost ready to spell out exactly why she’s a poor choice for VP in one big honking mega-post.

McCain vs The Public

Here’s another video that puts the candidate for a 3rd Bush Term into perspective:

The Republican Party: Ignorant and Proud of It

More bad news for the McCain campaign, as Obama hits back on criticism of his “tires and tune-ups” remark, which is accurate and in the spirit of actually solving our energy crisis (rather than further enriching the oil companies that are responsible for it):

And, of course, it’s rough to be put in your place by Paris Hilton:

So… I wonder who the backroom smokers at the GOP will replace McCain with at their national convention?
