		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;…are on an endless quest to destroy their enemies with a venomous brew of hate and intolerance.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is this anything like a really good cabernet? Because normally I don’t approve of blogging under the influence; but if it really pisses Donny Douglas and his wingnut friends off, I could be persuaded to change my position.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I read somewhere that the McCain campaign gurus had restricted the old fool’s telephone privileges because he’s constantly calling people on his cellphone and talking to people they don’t want him to talk to, saying things they don’t want him to say.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is probably a major clue why most elected officials in Washington don’t answer their own e-mail–aside from the fact that they can afford to pay peons to do it for them. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The e-mails and memory on government computers are dumped every 90 days and stored. NOT the sort of situation that campaign managers want to deal with if their candidate is one of the “brazillian” government employees who likes to download “teh pr0n,” gamble offshore while online, or spend most of his time as a civil servant exchanging barbs with other concerned citizens on sites like Powerline or Althouse’s blog when they are supposed to be working for you and me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course when your candidate is known for his lack of patience and temper, this raises the additional spectre of him “giving people a piece of his mind” when he has so little to spare, by sending his most recent rant to everyone on his mailing list–which, depending on how his e-mail box is configured–could concevably include everyone who ever e-mailed him. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And the last thing  the paid political “minders” from K Street want to see is an e-mail like this from someone they’ve bought and paid for:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Karl, Alberto:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I shredded that document you didn’t want them to subpoena.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;John&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“demonic conservative ridicule-machine”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now I know what I’m going to name the Prius! (Yes, I name my vehicles. So sue me!) God, I hope they have a blue one!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Wasn’t &lt;i&gt;Demonic Conservative Ridicule Machine&lt;/i&gt; that “experimental” album John Ashcroft did with Orrin Hatch and Pat Boone?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Let the eeeeagle soooooaaar….&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More seriously, I think they’re just pissed because we’re relying on “hate” and “intolerance” instead of, you know, just making shit up about our opponents. Although I have it on reliable sourcing (Novak and Drudge, of course) that few conservatards can molest a ball-gagged farm animal like Duh Pantload. Rove taught him everything he knows.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Tbogg, I think Donnie Douglas likes you:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;But it’s demonstrably clear that folks from top bloggers like Markos Moulitsas and Andrew Sullivan to the nihilists at Sadly No! to TBogg’s demonic conservative ridicule-machine are on an endless quest to destroy their enemies with a venomous brew of hate and intolerance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just love demonic conservative ridicule machine. I’d still rather have a big bright green pleasure machine but you take what you can get. He did forget to mention that you’re somewhat popular.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hey, I took typing in junior high and was abysmal at it—but I love to email. Part of what makes computers so fabulous is that “office stuff” that slow typists used to not be able to handle is no longer an issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s just another example of how incredibly reactionary McGrampy is. As for trailing in the polls, again, let’s stop throwing in the towel with a month and half to go. Palin has now proven that her mad political skillz consist of smirking and reading teleprompters (and that she is utterly graceless under any kind of fire), McCrabby is humiliated on talk shows and Obama isn’t being a pussy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead of bemoaning the loss before it happens, go volunteer at your local campaign headquarters.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;McCain can manipulate a keyboard if he can manipulate a clitoris. Or perhaps that’s one other hot button (t)issue he knows nothing about.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;John Cole points to a campaign quote that says, “McCain travels with a laptop, neener, neener.” Admittedly, that doesn’t mean he uses it. But, still. There’s like a bazillion HCI devices designed to help people of limited mobility and vision use a computer. Computers are one of the great breakthroughs for the disabled, in fact. A revolution. We’ve come a long way since archie the roach, Jonah. And, you know that was a REAL character, right? archie? I knew that you did.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
