christ!

Another thing Dubya's people were good at: They weren't trying, at least not as the press was concerned. Their attacks just came from somewhere in the distance, from all around. With McCain you can see the effort on his face, and all the press reports begin with "In an effort to turn around a flagging campaign, John McCain began a series of attacks..."

In short: Won't work.

true story:

Get ready for a ten-ton weight tomorrow night, Sidney.

And then John McCain's expression turns to some mix of surprise and mild disgust.

I don't doubt that he was a bit disgusted and surprised. But if like Glendower you are calling spirits from the vasty deep, you really shouldn't be surprised when they stop obeying your commands.

He can't deny it. His mom, in fact, seemed to have programmed him at a young age to carry out their mission.

Hopefully, Barry the Trojan Horse won't slip through the gates...

It has the unmistakable odor of desperation, of McCain & his disingenuous generals believing that they can outdo the Porcine Propogandist Himself by spewing ever-more-vile attacks.

Something tells me it isn't working this time.

I think Dave was confused by the odor of the glue that holds down his toupee.

It's over.

You can pack for your trip to the desert for the next 40 years now.

Pack wisely.

Seems like Democrats are putting on a lot of firepower to help something that's "over".

Al Gore to Seattle?

Gee, an entire party seems a bit nervous.

McCain landslide?

Yup.

So, because John McCain knows a gay person that makes him gay, right?

This does make me a lot more worried about an assassination attempt though. Riling up the people McCain and Palin are riling up is irresponsible in the extreme.

Sean Hannity, the conservative radio and television host, was the host of the hourlong program, which raised, among other things, unsubstantiated accusations that Mr. Obama’s work as a community organizer in Chicago was “training for a radical overthrow of the government.” .... Mr. Martin said Mr. Obama’s political career had been engineered by Bill Ayers.

So, now they're getting specific. It's not enough to make vague associations and innuendos, the story is now that Obama is a tool of Ayers, who's been plotting all this time to take over the government.

Awesome.

Maybe a contest for best Slog commenter suggested Barack Obama debate comeback line. That would so rock.

Maybe someone at The Stranger can pull together a post of John Bailo's greatest hits, and then publish it on Nov. 5.

Because I think that'd be awesome.

OR

"Why does the McCain campaign think it's still 1968? It's 2008 and we have some pretty serious issues, none if which have to do with POW's, racist attacks, or Vietnam. I am running to be president of now, not 30 years ago."

"Porcine Propagandist": Best description of Rove ever.
