Tucker Bounds Must Die

TOP STORY: UNIVERSE IMPLODES WHEN MCSAME SPOKESWOMAN CALLS TINA FEY'S IMPERSONATION OF PALIN "SEXIST."

These truly are the moments of WTF that I blog for.

Also from the Huffington Post: check out McSame's complete inability to draw a crowd without his running mate.

In other news, I officially hope Tucker Bounds chokes to death on his own vomit.

As the work week starts I know we're all warmed by the smoldering embers of Wall Street...

SHOCKER OF THE DAY: The McSame team maintains that the "fundamentals of our economy are strong" (McSame) and that "things today just aren't that bad" (McSame advisor Donald Luskin).

Personally, I blame the yacht salesmen. Why aren't they persuading the rich people to spend more money? WTF guys?? Get with it or good citizens are going to continue to lose their homes.

For the record, I also blame the d-bags from Million Dollar Listings. Especially Chad.


Dear Media,

Please stop blowing everything way out of proportion.

Kthxbye,

America.


Dick Diver's excellent diary at DailyKos gives us a shrewd look at McSame's supposed "bounce" in the polls, proving once again Twain's timeless saying about the three types of lies. Check out how Gallup fudged the numbers of the September 8th poll.

And Obama is leading VIRGINIA in the latest poll.

To Top it off, check out Kos' daily tracking poll.

Time for a language lesson straight from the GOP dictionary:

none (pronoun) [nuhn] -

1. no one; not one: None of my friends came to my party.
2. not any, as of something indicated: That's none of your business.
3. $453,000,000 worth: How much money in earmarks has Sarah Palin solicited from the federal government? None!

"It is difficult to compare Sen. Obama's earmark record with Gov. Palin's -- their states differ in size, for instance, and the two candidates play different roles in the process. But using the same calculation that the McCain campaign uses, the total amount of earmarked dollars divided by the number of working days while each held office (assuming a five-day workweek, every week, for both), Gov. Palin sought $980,000 per workday, compared with roughly $893,000 for Sen. Obama."

I'm glad we've had this little chat. It's lessons like these that help us understand how McSame can say, on the View, that Palin had not sought any congressional earmarks as governor of Alaska.

And if we extend this logic even further, it makes perfect sense that Tucker Bounds can say of the incident: "If he gave viewers a mistaken impression, it certainly wasn't intentional." Well maybe he wasn't lying. Maybe he's just grossly misinformed, and that's why he calls Palin his "soulmate."

Maybe Palin can holler over the fence to Russia and ask them about those long-range bombers they just landed in Venezuela. Hey, isn't that the same country that just gave the US ambassador 72 hours to get out because we've been accused of trying to overthrow their government? And don't they provide 10-15% of our oil?

We might want both people in office to know what the Bush doctrine is...

In less horrifying news, Obama gets snarky, the Obama rally in New Hampshire is a hit, and no one in congress knows why we're so hype about drilling.

Biden kicks ass and takes names at a rally in Michigan.

And sometimes I wish I was still unemployed.

...

Okay, but sometimes it's for a good cause.

If you're unemployed and in Ohio, or unemployed and looking to take a road trip for the vote, or employed but in Ohio and able to contribute time, or anywhere and able to contribute money, consider this worthy cause. Don't let Ohio break my heart again - give it a chance to redeem itself.

Until tomorrow, Don't forget to b*tchslap the Health and Human Services department for their latest attack on our reproductive rights - only 10 days left!!! Learn more about it and find out how to help here.
