The gooey tub of corn syrup have any names? I recommend Al Sharpton (hold the applause I already know how brilliant this is). He gives the codger a leg up with the black vote and shows how in touch he really is.

I guess this bodes well for Liarman, who used to pretend to be a Democrat. I look forward to Joe “electrifying” his base of…one (Kristol)…should he be tapped as McCain’s running mate.

With his brilliant strategic insight, I’m really glad Jonah is working for the other side. Now maybe he can convince Lanny Davis to join him.

It is the secret plan to get all of the old Jews in Century Village.

(I agree with Jill of Brilliant at Breakfast on that story. However because people know how to get information they know that as the reporter pointed out, Obama doesn’t really have a record.)

McCain/Nader 08!

Re-branding American neo-conservatism? Talk about putting lipstick on a pig…

They really should use this as the ultimate challenge case in business school:

“take this sucky, dying, outdated brand which for decades has been mismanaged by incompetent executives and sales people, and turn it around. Mind you, there’s no change to the core concept: it’s still a crappy decrepit flawed product that has caused misery to countless consumers throughout the product cycle. All you can do is re-brand it, and even then, you can’t alienate the few remaining customers who actually like to get 3rd degree burns all over their body when they handle the lead-based toxic sludge.

Your business plan is due on Tuesday at noon…”

The gooey tub of corn syrup have any names?

Yup.

Joe Lieberman or Sam Nunn

Sam Nunn has already endorsed Obama, which might make accepting a McCain VP slot problematic.

Goldberg is yet more proof that everything a Republican touches turns to shit — and Goldberg must touch himself a lot.

Oh, please, please, PLEASE let him pick Lieberman! I won’t ask for anything for Christmas, I promise!

I’m not sure how the Republicans are going to be able to “rebuild their brand” (buzz phrase du jour) in four years by driving away the 20% of true believers that they still have left.

And they just lost John Hawkins.

That’s a brilliant idea! Mr. Old, Angry, and Out of Ideas should run with somebody older, angrier, and even more out of ideas; he can only benefit from the contrast.

Except that Lieberman is not a democrat anymore, and I couldn’t imagine Nunn taking on such a losing position.
And I agree with you, the trademark of Jonah is thoughtlessness.

You didn’t mention your opinion on my recommended veep. LOL

McCain/Sharpton is close to what the eventual ticket will be: McCain/Wright.

“Bad preacher! Bad preacher!” is all they have to run on.

McCain/Ronald Reagan’s Corpse

Reagan’s corpse will make McCain appear animated by contrast.
Republicans’ veneration of Reagan means that McCain will immediately recover the R’s base, most of whom show about the same level of brain activity as Reagan currently does.
Some may raise the 22nd Amendment as an issue but the amendment doesn’t forbid a dead president from serving a third term. Face it; the right wing would prefer a dead Reagan to a live McCain.

I’m not sure how the Republicans are going to be able to “rebuild their brand” (buzz phrase du jour) in four years by driving away the 20% of true believers that they still have left.

Perhaps ole’ Pillsbury is onto something, because as far as I can tell job one on the rebranding project is precisely to ditch the Bush dead-enders.

My college age daughter has a good friend who happens to be gay. He is also a Republican and working for a Republican Congressman.

I said “I don’t understand how anyone who is gay would be a Republican.”

My kids said “Mom, you don’t understand why anyone would be a Republican!”

After a moments thought I replied, “Not true, I can understand why a rich, white, heterosexual man might be a Republican. But why would anyone else be?”

This is actually surprisingly monumentally stupid, even by Jonah’s standards. I am certainly glad he is working for the other side and pray that they take his advice, along with that of Bloody Billy KKKristol. If they do, we are guaranteed that they shall wander in the wilderness for at least forty years. As to “rebuilding their brand,” I can but paraphrase the Bard: “An elephant turd by any other name still reeks to high heaven.”

Rebuilding their brand involves…

1. Abandoning things that don’t work?
2. New products?
3. New Ideas?

Please explain how this is going to work by:
1. Electing someone 72 years old.
2. Getting their base to change

How ever long it took you to find the Road Runner pict it was worth it. Perfect.

mcain/hillary

The only Dem that I can think of other than Lieberman is George Wallace. And I think he has the same liability that Reagan does.

Thank you TBogg! That picture is hysterical. I haven’t laughed that hard in weeks. Though discovering that you didn’t actually make up that part about a democratic vp for McCain was a bit sobering.
So Jonah wants a big tent, eh? I wonder what he’s planning to use for tent poles…

Bob Dole is still alive, sorta.

McCain/Dole: What needs changed? Depends!
