Anyone see CNN last night?

Seriously!! I was using the info here on VJ to help me decide who to vote for. Sigh.

I was using it to decide what to have for dinner.

What's interesting is how the party that is in pursuit of the vote of the morally righteous puts a divorced and remarried guy on top of the ticket (one who left his first wife less than honorable if I remember right) and offers a VP candidate whose family can't seem to live up to their morality standards as the icing on the cake, so to speak. And here they are celebrating these choices. Truly wonderful. Comes to show that the GOP and the religous righteous right is more inclusive and accepting than some might like to think. Way to go!

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

Both parties have and will do it, when they deem it necessary. If you believed "change", you were just as gullible as the rest who did.

Oh, believe me, I never did buy into the "change" #######

Anyways, since the original "Trig is really Bristol's kid" is being peddled by Andrew Sullivan (gay) and Markos Moulitsas (San Francisco), along with a joke I heard Bill Maher (Hollywood) tell about Trig and the fact Sarah Palin dared have more than one child, Karl Rove must be thinking Christmas came early.

And what's interesting to me is some of the comments I am reading from "progressive" young Democrats. It proves that the sexist cave men aren't necessarily members of the Republican party.

The difference is that this girl, like Chelsea Clinton, has not chosen to be in the spotlight.

You mean, by attending campaign events like this:

Nonsense. By campaigning with her mom she puts herself in the spotlight. Sorry, your invasion-of-privacy or spare-the-innocent-child nonsense doesn't fly.

The poster is funny as hell.

So does that apply if the Right suddenly taste blood and go after the Obama children? Hey - fair's fair!

If they're out campaigning for him, why not?

Also, this teenager (Palin's daughter) is pretty much an adult, and can make conscious choices about things.

Interesting. Children are now fair game to score political points. This is not "change" I can believe in.

Both parties have and will do it, when they deem it necessary. If you believed "change", you were just as gullible as the rest who did.

Still waiting on the actual proof that its the actual campaigns behind such ridiculous tactics.

Call the NSA and AT&T, maybe they'll let you listen into certain conversations.

Karl Rove must be thinking Christmas came early

EXACTLY. This is precisely what he (and people like him) want since they know all this attention undercuts all those issues that would keep McCain out of the White House.

Well...

There's an idea!

I *did* work for AT&T for a bit...

Yes that seems to be the case.

Obama still has a shot at making political gains by putting those cavemen back in the GEICO commercials.

Sexist cavemen? How did we arrive at that label? Weighing the professed stance of candidates on family values and their pursuit of a seemingly morally superior crowd against the personal realities of these candidates makes one a sexist caveman now? That is interesting indeed. Carry on!

To give her credit I don't think she was referring to many actual Democrat bloggers out there.

HEY!!! Why are you calling the GEICO cavemen names?????????? Not cool

...not sure if anyone posted this here already and I personally don't think this should even be an issue, but I thought this is worth pointing out - the sentiment from one of the loudest political pundits of the Right:

“On the pinhead front, 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant. The sister of Britney says she is shocked. I bet. Now most teens are pinheads in some ways. But here the blame falls primarily on the parents of the girl, who obviously have little control over her or even over Britney Spears. Look at the way she behaves.” -Bill O’Reilly

[Teacher Mark 53]

Well, at least it would make others laugh, rather than have their panties twisted over it. Learn to take a friggen joke.

Do you think the "jokes" about Chelsea Clinton made by Rush Limbaugh were funny? We are talking about a teenaged girl here, not a politician.

Let's not forget this jewel:

John McCain made this odious joke about Chelsea Clinton back in ‘98.

Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno.”

– Sen. John McCain, speaking to a Republican dinner, June 1998.

Ironic. Call him a Democrat!
