Daffy, Broke, Twice-Wifeless Joe Rages at Obama for Proposing to Tax Him When He Becomes a Billionaire

Joe the Plumber, the twice divorced babbling twit from Ohio that the Psychogeezer campaign has adopted as a combination demented house pet, economic advisor and spokesperson apparently keeps his head shaved because it makes it real easy to slick it up with transmission fluid and shove it up his own ass when he speaks, making him the perfect guest for Fox News.

I’m sure more than a few wingers will claim the campaign timed it.

Barack Obama’s Grandmother Dies [BBC]

Colorado US Attorney Troy Eid Thinks Neo-Nazi Assassins Are Just People With a Drug Problem. Guy's either a dolt or a sympathizer to the white supremacist cause. Or Both.

US Attorney for Colorado Troy Eid earlier this year decided that the white supremacists arrested this summer packing scoped rifles, body armor and ammo while traveling out to Denver to shoot Barack Obama were really just fun-loving kids with a drug problem.

Sure. And, hey, gosh, there are all the First Amendment issues to respect here as well. What American doesn’t have the right to rave on and on about blowing away a Democratic presidential candidates and arming himself to do the deed, without harassment from an oppressive Nanny State?

Apparently, this kind of legal logic only works if you are a grinning fuckwit appointee of the Bush Justice Department who thinks Democrats are things you can get hunting licenses to kill. Shockingly, for Eid, no doubt, there are a bunch of legal experts whining away that those neo-Nazis should be put on trial for conspiracy to murder a presidential candidate in interviews conducted by the people from Raw Story.

Now that you mention it, it does feel like we’ve been trapped in a tin can underwater the past couple of months. However, given our choice of reference, we’re not sure we want to know how it ends.

from the Christian Science Monitor:

Vice President Cheney was in Laramie, Wyoming over the weekend (where his approval rating is still above freezing) stumping for Republican candidates when he announced his support for McCain.

That’s right – Dick Cheney.  The old curmudgeon surprised us again!  One day he’s shouting obscenities on the Senate floor, the next he’s running the country even though we never elected him president, and now he’s endorsing people who probably want nothing to do with him. With both the President and the Vice-President behind him, McCain cannot lose.  The amazing thing is that Obama then ran a negative ad about it that mocked the event.  He’s disparaging a sitting Veep because he hates America with the passion of a thousand French waiters.

As John McCain wanders around the country trying to find a Reverend Wright that will work, the wingnuts are freaking (and yes, one is verbatim – speculate in comments, and no peeking):

Ace of Spades – Missouri will go for McCain because negroes standing in front of Greek columns make them nervous.

American Thinker – a careful review of selected bits of scripture reveals that not only would Jesus have been for the Bush tax cuts, he would have benefitted from them.

Atlas Shrugs – my knee-jerk racism has even destroyed my relationship with those liberals over at Little Green Footballs … oh well.

You want the wingnuts? You can’t handle the wingnuts!
