Olbermann’s Special Comment on 9/11 (TM)

Posted (seano) in Election, Video on September-11-2008

Once again, Keith Olbermann knocks one into the upper deck with this Special Comment. He calls out the Republican Presidential campaign for exploiting 9/11 (despite being the party in charge at every level at the time of the attack) and John McCain for claiming to know how to catch Osama Bin Laden, but only at the end of next January, if he is elected president.

A personal note: watching the “tribute” videos at the RNC, Cindy & John McCain bragged about how they told each other they were older and younger than they were, respectively, when they met.  Tee hee!  Oh… wait… this is the party of FAMILY VALUES.  And they’re telling the entire world on the teevee that their relationship began with lies from each side.  The affair that began while John McCain was still married to his first wife.

The sheer hypocrisy, double-speak, fear-mongering, misdirection and outright lies of the Republican party and John McCain during this campaign are purely reprehensible.  And the white-hot focus on, and airtime devoted to, this superficial bullshit like “flag pins” and “lipstick” (and boy, what an ignorant, pandering oaf this Jane Swift is, eh?) only serve to insult and enrage every half-intelligent person in the country.

Do you agree?

As for the video, Take 8 and observe, this is a must-watch.

Forget What I Said Before. No, Really

Posted (seano) in Election, Funny, Video on September-4-2008

The writers at the Daily Show must have a massive database of video clips and their textual annotations to be able to parse them all to find gems like this.  Watch Karl Rove as he heaps praise upon Sarah Palin for her governing experience in the fine metropolis of Wasilla, Alaska.  This after, oh wait, Karl Rove trashed Virginia governor Tim Kaine for only running the town of Richmond, Virginia.  Other flip-flops are featured in the clip.

Surely all politicians are adept at saying what’s right for the moment, but the Republicans are making history (re-writing it?) doing so in this 2008 Presidential election.

Experience Matters! Well, For The Other Guys Anyway

Posted (seano) in Election, Video on September-3-2008

Great clip of CNN’s Campbell Brown trying to get a single straight answer about Sarah Palin‘s executive experience. It quickly becomes obvious that McCain aide Tucker Bounds has no response, and instead resorts to continually regurgitating party talking points.

The Republicans have clearly decimated their own best argument against “lack of experience.”

John McCain’s Lack of Intellectual Curiosity

Posted (seano) in Election on August-20-2008

Jack Cafferty ponders John McCain and his similarities to George W. Bush. His conclusion? That McCain is “intellectually shallow”, citing his often terse and bumbling answers to substantive questions.

I am sick and tired of the president of the United States embarrassing me.

894th in His Class… Out of 899

Posted (seano) in Election, Video on July-18-2008


At least John McCain is brave enough to admit it…
But do we want a President, in the Information Economy Age, who can’t even work a computer?!

Black Man Asks For Change

Posted (seano) in Election, Funny on March-23-2008

The Onion has been a little stale as of late, but they struck gold with this headline:

Black Man Asks Nation for Change

“The time for change is now,” said the black guy, yelling at everyone within earshot for 20 straight minutes, practically begging America for change.

His Onion profile page lists him as “Pro-hopes, also supports dreams” LOL
