Palin for VP and The Two Speeches

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbSlc4XGGnk

And on a totally unrelated subject, the NYT has an article up dealing with the Bush Legacy. It’s an interesting read (8 pages in total) that gets into psyche of President facing personal accountability.

“I should have been more specific. Was hoping that someone might have leaked the words that Turd B. used to JBB.”

I think the convo would have went something like:

“Hello John, this is Karl. WTF r u thinkin you senile ol f*ck. If you pick f*ckin Joe Lieberman i’ll have a few dark knights upend you head first in the toilet cubicle of your choice and introduce you to Larry “wide stance” Craig.
Got that…you senile old fool.”

Tracking Gustav; suggest scroll down and enlarge jpegs. Mayor Ray Nagin wasn’t exaggerating when he ordered everyone out of NOLA. As someone on kos said, let’s watch the GOPpers try and exploit this disaster to make McBombster and his trophy Veep into good old fashioned American heroes. Maybe The Imbecile could lend them Air Force 1 so they can get a good over-view before they start handing out bottled water to devasted families.

Sarah weepily to camera while holding bedraggled and soaked Shirley Temple look-alike on her lap:

“These American kids are suffering…….(sob)….. they are all my children now.”
“Shirley” looks dreamily into “mommie’s” eyes, reaches up and hugs her.

Rove tried to kill Lieberman VP pick

Was just hunting around for the same thing (remember reading an article about the subject just in the last few days). In the process I came across this must watch YouTube video:

McCain’s Brain: The Truth Behind his VP Choice Sarah Palin

Trying but so far have found these where he denies contacting Joe.
Will keep trying for a while

After it, they crossed back to the talking heads to discuss it. One of the talking heads was Mitt Romney’s Campaign Manager Alex Castelanos.

His comment was: “Whoever doesn’t get the tap to be McCain’s VP is the luckiest politician in the country”.

It struck me as a very strange thing to say and immediately knew that it wasn’t Romney and that he knew who it was. He wasn’t impressed.

It was reported in various places last week about the insider panic that Joe would get the gig and that Rove had vetoed it.

I saw him asked about it on Fox Noise and he neither denied it or confirmed it. It was portrayed as a given by him and the Fox anchor that it was true.

Rove’s apprentice, Steve Scmidt, took over McCains operation about 2 months ago. Rove is still the Gatekeeper.

And they don’t wheel out Bob Novak unless they think it absolutely necessary.

If Lieberman were picked, it would have destroyed the Rove made GOTV. But there simply aren’t enough fundies to win it for the Repugs to cover all the desertions since 2004 and the additions to the Dems.

But it does save them from the decimation that Joe would have caused.

McSenile is the most reckless candidate a campaign will ever have the displeasure of trying to manage.
