Better Latent Than Never

He also could have beaten Hustler to the punch if he only added NailinPalin.com or VPILF.com

For once, the world benefits from a Billie Kristol cockup instead of the usual cleaning up a mountain of shit. Thanks to him, the Repub party is on the verge of an implosion and the Jeebus Taliban is crippled for a while.

I wonder if Kristol docked his ship in the Palin port.

Rethuglicans and snakehandlers now threatening to “out” every business or business leader giving money to Equality California or any other No on Prop. 8 effort.
@rptrcub: Like Rich Lowry, I think he only dreams of doing that.

Today could be a big day for Alaska – we can only hope that the Ted Stevens jury comes in with a guilty verdict. That would, of course, be overshadowed by the worldwide stock collapse, but it wouldn’t be any less sweet.

@blogenfreude: My money, such as it is, is on a mistrial.

Dow just opened.

Oops.

@ManchuCandidate: Awesome haiku there.

Cold wind on Wall Street
Bloomberg may get a third term
McCain-Palin none?

@nabisco: Keith O. did a good job of stating the obvious last night: If Bloomberg cares so much, and this isn’t just a power grab, why doesn’t he offer to stay on as an unpaid advisor to his successor? It’s not as though he can’t afford it. All this hemming and hawing about it isn’t fooling anyone.

@mellbell: Did you see his face at the Al Smith dinner when Obama was joking about the 3rd term? More pissed than Bush listening to Colbert.

@nabisco:
I didn’t realize that till you pointed that out.

@nabisco: gee, it turns out Rudy and Mike were more alike than we all suspected. Something about NYC mayors — egotistical enough to believe that their worlds can’t go on without them if major disasters happen.

From today’s NYT:
Who was the highest paid individual in Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign during the first half of October as it headed down the homestretch?

Not Randy Scheunemann, Mr. McCain’s chief foreign policy adviser; not Nicolle Wallace, his senior communications staff member. It was Amy Strozzi, who was identified by the Washington Post this week as Gov. Sarah Palin’s traveling makeup artist, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday night.

Oh hai: Pa. GOP volunteer made up getting beat up. Charges pending. Kthxbai.

@chicago bureau: “Police investigating the alleged attack, however, began to notice some inconsistencies in her story and administered a polygraph test. Authorities, however, declined to release the results of that test.”

I hope it’s like the test in The Wire, where they faked it with a Xerox machine.

@chicago bureau: That story has had me giggling for 30 hours; and McCain called her! Gave the story to Drudge, too, odds are. Dumbass, and dumber-ass.

Alaska Republicans (“Vigilant, Dedicated, Victorious”) or should it be (“Vicious, Vindictive, Bent as a dog’s hind leg” ).

@CheapBoy: Veni, Vidi, Vicious.
