Here’s what Drew Westen suggests Obama do to win the hearts of voters.

Mrs. McCain Said to be a Buffalo-Chip — By her husband

Posted on August 5, 2008 in Campaign 2008

Do the pundits really think that Obama has the bigger problem with attracting and maintaining the support of women? How about McCain’s suggestion that his wife participate in a topless beauty pageant in family-values South Dakota? What is he doing there anyways, veterans or no veterans?

Yesterday evening John McCain took part in the Sturgis Rally 2008 at Buffalo Chip in South Dakota, an annual tribute to veterans. The candidate was so enthused, he told attendees, that he encouraged his wife toparticipate in the festivities: “I told her with a little luck, she could be the only woman ever to serve as both the first lady and Miss Buffalo Chip.”

As the Huffington Post reported on Sunday, the Miss Buffalo Chip contest is more than a little risque — not to mention bedeviled by violence:

ESPN’s Jim Caple described the [event] as “essentially a topless beauty pageant. And occasionally bottomless, too.”

For those who don’t know, a buffalo chip is a dessicated lump of buffalo manure. Or to put it another, less appetizing yet direct way, whoever wins Miss Buffalo Chip is held to be a piece of shit. Not a nice thing to say about any human being, much less your own wife.

In other news, Obama strikes back at the nasty ads:

“When John McCain gets up there and says I’d rather win an election than win a war. When he says I didn’t visit the troops when I was overseas, even though every media outlet says that’s just not true… [It suggests] you are not trying to solve problems. All you are trying to do is divide people so you can win an election. That is nothing to be proud of. Let’s have a real honest debate about policies that are going to make a difference in people’s lives.”

GOPpies defect to Obama

Posted on August 4, 2008 in Campaign 2008

Addendum (11-6-2008): The Republican governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, praised Obama’s energy plan.

Today’s polls were taken before word of John McCain’s falsehoods in publishing came out, so don’t be disheartened. A counterattack is in progress. McCain is following the Bush line of denying that his negative campaign is negative. But as you saw yesterday, the press isn’t buying it.

What may or may not hit the news is that the GOP challenger for a House seat in Oregon endorsed Obama and that a GOP politico in Delaware has done the same.

Mama Hilton on Mean Mr. McCain

Posted on August 3, 2008 in Campaign 2008

In the wake of McCain’s alleged-bimbo-attack on Obama, Kathy Hilton, mother of Paris, had this to say:

I’ve been asked again and again for my response to the now infamous McCain celebrity ad. I actually have three responses. It is a complete waste of the money John McCain’s contributors have donated to his campaign. It is a complete waste of the country’s time and attention at the very moment when millions of people are losing their homes and their jobs. And it is a completely frivolous way to choose the next President of the United States.

I’m not the biggest Paris Hilton fan as readers know, but Mama H., you might almost get my vote for vice president!

What a fitting demonstration of how Mean John McCain plans to treat his supporters and the rest of us.

Mean Mr. Mustard — er — McCain

Posted on August 3, 2008 in Campaign 2008

Such a mean old man
Such a mean old man

His sister Pam works in a shop
she never stops, she’s a go getter
Takes him out to look at the Queen
Only place that he’s ever been
Always shouts out something obscene

A NYT editorial:

Many voters are wondering whether a McCain presidency would be an extension of Mr. Bush’s two disastrous terms. If the way Mr. McCain is running his campaign these days is an indication, Americans don’t have to wait until next January for the answer to that one.

Check the Washington Post on Mean Mr. McCain, too.
