John McCain

Troopergate OK Long story short. Sarah Palin had a sister, here sister married a cop. They had a bitter divorce. Sarah Palin used her power as governor to put pressure on officials to have her brother in law fired from his position as state trooper. Then when they asked her about it she lied. But […]

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Swing Voter, What the hell is your problem?! Do you realize that the presidential campaign has now been going on for almost two years? Wait, let me guess: you’ve been standing in the cereal aisle at your local supermarket since several weeks before the Iowa Caucus, trying to decide what to […]

One of the major story lines to emerge in the presidential race over the past few days is the McCain campaign’s depth of dishonesty. Their serial lying has compelled the media (despite its longstanding affection for the GOP nominee) to raise serious questions about McCain’s and Palin’s evident contempt for the truth.

Hey, if my woman rocked $280,000 worth of jewelry, and I couldn’t remember the amount of houses I owned it’d be a strong economy for me too. All you people who just lost you jobs and homes, stop whining.

Jill Greenberg, a photographer who was paid by the Atlantic Monthly to photograph Senator John McCain, has chosen to use her photographs to make a political statement. In one picture he is depicted as a vampire; another makes reference to the time he cheated on his first wife; and, yet another that refers to the […]

Barack Obama mocks the way John McCain took his ‘Change We Need’ slogan and criticizes him for putting lobbyists in charge of his campaign. Obama also continued his attack on Mccain for his ties to Bush.

If you read my last column, that lets me know two things immediately: you’re a college student majoring in low-brow humor, and you see that I was right.

Republican Rep. Ron Paul, the libertarian-leaning Texas lawmaker who attracted a devoted following in the GOP primaries, said Wednesday he rejected an appeal to endorse John McCain’s presidential bid. Paul said the request came from Phil Gramm, the former McCain adviser and ex-senator whom the campaign jettisoned after he said the country was a “nation […]

It’s fascinating—and disturbing, and farcical—to watch the Republican lines of attack against Senator Obama proliferate. Some are sure to resonate with voters. But because the GOP and its surrogates appear unsure which, they continue to brand the senator with a variety of mutually exclusive labels.

I know the National Enquirer might not carry the same weight as the New York Times. But in terms of political sex scandals they have a good track record. Let’s remember that they broke the John Edwards Affair. They were also one of the media’s main sources for the Clinton/Lewinsky Affair According to The Enquirer, […]
