HILLARY Clinton supporters may go for John McCain now he’s revealed that his vice president would be one Sarah Palin.
She’s the woman to man the red phone in times of emergency.
It’s 3am, the phone is ringing… And Sarah Palin:
Sarah and her father would sometimes wake at 3 a.m. to hunt moose before school, and the family regularly ran 5k and 10k races
CHANGE. cHANGe. The word ’HANG’ appears over an image of Barack Obama.
A McCain ad aired on Fox News channel with the words “HANG” in the background along with a photograph of Barack Obama has sparked outrage after being noticed by a reporter at a local Fox television affiliate…
JOHN McCain or Barack Obama, the main player in the Barack Obama Death Cult. Which is going to die first?
While many are waiting (is hope to strong a word?) for Obama to be shot, McCain keeps getting older.

Mark Fraunefelder says: “Ethan Persoff (the fellow who is covering the riot police at the DNC) has printed a special edition of his (X-rated) McCain “Tijuana Bible” to hand out to folks at the convention.
Uncivil Society reports:
Any complete account of the evolution of communications media in the twentieth century must include the Tijuana Bible — small pornographic comics featuring bootleg versions of popular comic strips and celebrities….
In Denver this week, delegates to the Democratic National Convention will have the opportunity to get printed versions of this Bush-McCain Tijuana Bible, presented as a replica of a prophetic 1934 comic from Lieberman’s Lil’ Squeezer Books. Whatever one’s moral stance regarding porn & politics, it’s a rather clever piece of neo-retro performance art.

JOHN McCain is a celebrity:
Last night was John McCain’s thirteenth appearance on the Tonight Show. More than Arnold. His peers in that elevated celebrity zone? Pamela Anderson, Dr. Phil, Larry the Cable Guy, Simon Cowell, and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Obama? He’s been on once.
McCain and Simon Cowell…
MADONNA has been performing in Cardiff. She is striking a blow for the John McCain camp. Obama is doomed.
During the show at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium, an image of John McCain was flashed up alongside those of Hitler and Robert Mugabe.
It’s a subtle message that was back-dropped with scenes of global warming and devastation. The song was called Get Stupid.
LET’S Vote for Barack Obama and John McCain. Let’s vote for Joe Biden. Barack Obama’s number 2 wants McCain to win:
It’s getting hot in here…
AS he notes:
WHEN BAD NEWS IS NO NEWS. I was looking at the BBC’s coverage of the US Presidential race and was ..ahem..surprised to see no coverage of the latest poll in the States giving McCain a 5 point lead over the Chosen One. Happily, the BBC’s poll still shows Obama in the lead.
OBAMs fan is sleeping. McCain is sleeping. No sleep til Washington…
GAYS against tolerance, and John McCain:
As a response earlier this week to revelations that Manhunt Chairman and founder Jonathan Crutchley (above, right) had maxed out his individual personal contributions to vocal gay rights opponent Senator John McCain ($2300) which we reported on Wednesday, Crutchley has apparently been pressured by the board of the company to step down as Chairman.
Hey, gays can be bigots too…
PARIS Hilton’s bikini saves energy:
Paris Hilton might not be as big a celebrity as Barack Obama, but she obviously has a better energy plan - McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds.
argumentum ad fortiori, the argument from strength. From the Latin, meaning “argument from strength.”
Writes Jay:
New Paris Hilton video on Funny or Die! Responding to a McCain ad that likens Obama to celebrities like the airhead heiress, Paris appears in a leopard-spotted swimsuit. “I want America to know that I’m, like, totally ready to lead,” she says, announcing her candidacy to become president a mere eight years before the U.S. Constitution allows.
She does a nice mashup of her rivals’ energy policies: “We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars,” she says.
The McCain campaign volleys back with a very nice argumentum ad fortiori. If something more-so is true, then it’s likely that something less-so will be true as well. Or vice versa. If Paris’s energy policy trumps Barack’s, then we all had better move to Jedda.
Snappy Answer: Plus, she’d be the only president to make energy policy seem dirty.
JOHN McCain looks like one man, but he is also many men, to many people.
To the rest of the world, Americans always look, sound and act like Americans, but to Americans they are each of them special, each of them a niche focus group waiting to be marketed.
At the John McCain shop, you can buy merchandise declaring:
OBMA v McCain, according to their speeches.
The top cloud is Barack Obama’s recent Townhall speech in Elkhart, Indiana. The bottom comes from John McCain’s speech in Jackson, Ohio.
RUSSIAN teenager Anna Ivanov has had plastic surgery to look just like Paris Hilton.
As the Mirror reports, she told surgeon Zurab Meladze: “They already call me Paris Hilton. So now I want to be her. Everything. Lips, breasts and all the rest.”
BARACK Obama meets John McCain. Caption it:
TIMOTHY Noah sees racism in Obama’s barn. To be called skinny is to be victim of racism. Barack Obama needs to be fat. We like a fat politician.
When Gordon Brown was fatter, we trusted him. Now he has a personal trianer and we can’t want for him to go. He’s a disaster.
In the Aug. 1 Wall Street Journal, Amy Chozick asked, “[C]ould Sen. Obama’s skinniness be a liability?” Most Americans, Chozick points out, aren’t skinny. Fully 66 percent of all citizens who’ve reached voting age are overweight, and 32 percent are obese.
To be thin is to be different physically. Not that there’s anything wrong, mind you, with being a skinny person. But would you want your sister to marry one?
JOHN McCain shows a campaign video of Barack Obama and two blonde girls: Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.
Is this dog whistle politics about the black man coming for the white woman? Maybe. More likely it’s just McCain trying to be associated with people more famous than he is.
McCain is 71. Obama turns 47 today. When McCain was 47 the top celebrities – or VIPs as they were then knows – were Dave Kid Jensen, Vanessa Williams and My Little Pony.
Anyhow, Kathy Hilton, Paris’s mum, is upset. So she does what any upset Hollywood mum does and writes an article about just how upset she is and puts it online. Says she:

ANORAK thoght 71-year-old John McCain was closer to God. But you live long enough, you learn…
IF Barack Obama is a celebrity, is he Britney Spears? Is he Paris Hilton?
Does he wear underwear? Does he wear underwear inside - or outside - his trousers?
And if John McCain is a celebrity, which one is he?

Will we lift the child in Bangladesh from poverty, shelter the refugee in Chad, and banish the scourge of AIDS in our time? - Barack Obama
Yes he can! And so can he:
(I)n 1991 Cindy McCain was visiting Mother Teresa’s orphanage in Bangladesh when a dying infant was thrust into her hands. The orphanage could not provide the medical care needed to save her life, so Mrs. McCain brought the child home to America with her. She was met at the airport by her husband, who asked what all this was about.
