Wow did McCain bomb tonight. Holy shit! HuffPo has the rundown of the news networks, who all gave it to Obama (even FOX). Instead of spending time writing out my words on this, I am going to let Andrew Sullivan speak for me: This was, I think, a mauling: a devastating and possibly electorally fatal […]
Andrew Sullivan dives into the latest exhibition of sexism by John McCain.
Andrew Sullivan has been doing some digging and noticed something very interesting: I’ve noted the bizarre locution Bush used last night to describe the torture endured by John McCain. I hope the press corps will follow up. But one piece of evidence that the omission of the t-word by Bush was deliberate comes in Fred […]
The wingnuts are going nookular over Andrew Sullivan raising the questions of Palin’s baby actually being hers. Wow – how dare people raise issues about a candidates personal life? That would be like the right pushing some smear that Obama is a Muslim. Oh wait a minute.. That’s exactly what the right did. For over […]

It involved sleep deprivation, the withholding of medical treatment, stress positions, long-time standing, and beating. […]
Andrew Sullivan: He’s despatching Lindsey and Joe as emissaries to the country immediately. He’s on the phone with Sakashvilli daily. He’s giving press conferences. He’s warning of a new Tsarist empire. You can tell what sends him into high-energy zones: a clear enemy abroad. He knows black and white; and he knows war. It gives […]
So McCain is trying to compare Obama to a celebrity? The Smirking Chimp brings up what everyone seems to be ignoring: Oh really? Where was John McCain to decry celebrity status when Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected governor of California as a Republican? Where was John McCain when pop icon Sonny Bono, and actors Noble Willingham, […]
This is interesting, and Andrew Sullivan sums it up best: How fuck-you to McCain-Lieberman is that? Amen!
Andrew Sullivan has posted this comment from a reader talking about Obama’s victory: This also shows that George W Bush is a uniter after all: People are so fucking frustrated that even rednecks are willing to give a black guy a chance. The proof of this is in the turnout. As of right now the […]
