MoDo:‘Barbies for War!’ (smackdown by Dowd lol)
Carly Fiorina, the woman John McCain sent out to defend Sarah Palin and rip anyone who calls her a tabula rasa on foreign policy and the economy, admitted Tuesday that Palin was not capable of running Hewlett-Packard.

That’s pretty damning coming from Fiorina, who also was not capable of running Hewlett-Packard.

Carly helpfully added that McCain (not to mention Obama and Biden) couldn’t run a major corporation. He couldn’t get his immigration bill passed either, but now he’s promising to eliminate centuries of greed on Wall Street.

The Wall Street Journal reported that McCain was thinking about taking Palin to the U.N. General Assembly next week so she can shake hands with some heads of state. You can’t contract foreign policy experience like a rhinovirus. To paraphrase the sniffly Adelaide in “Guys and Dolls,” a poy-son could develop a cold war.

And I feel for you all down there - looks like you may have to sink further before the right wing nuts die without health care, and you come to power.

3. This had some brilliant moments
I love the quote from the retired principal at the end:

“It’s taking us back to junior high school. She’s one of the popular girls, but one of the mean girls."

Barbies for War. :rofl:

4. The saddest part
****** I talked to a Wal-Mart mom, Betty Necas, 39, wearing sweatpants and tattoos on her wrists.

She said she’s never voted, and was a teenage mom “like Bristol.” She likes Sarah because she’s “down home” but said Obama “gives me the creeps. Nothing to do with the fact that he’s black. He just seems snotty, and he looks weaselly.”

Ten Obama supporters in Wasilla braved taunts and drizzle to stand on a corner between McDonald’s and Pizza Hut. They complained that Sarah runs government like a vengeful fiefdom and held up signs. A guy with a bullhorn yelled out of a passing red car: “Go back to the city, you liberal communists!"

A local conservative radio personality, Eddie Burke, who had lambasted the organizers as “a bunch of socialist, baby-killing maggots,” was on hand with a sign reading “Alaska is not Frisco.”

Makes me just wanta move to Alaska. Maybe Wasilla will make the ten best towns in America this year.
Maureen must be having a swell time.

5. "She is seductive, but she is invented."
Chilling. In the Olberman clip, The Nation editor defined her as a "narrative piece." Just when I think it cannot get More surreal, it does.
McCain and Palin need to be filmed interacting, maybe in an interview about the issues that make up their ticket platform. I get the feeling that wouldn't go very well.

6. MoDo vs. Sarah, it's like a sequel to the movie Heathers
Veronica Sawyer: You're a rebel? You think you're a rebel? You're not a rebel you're fucking psychotic!
