Interesting – I’ve been thinking of this similarly, but as an exorcism; see the little devils spitting and cussing and thrashing and throwing up split pea soup as they are driven out.

Incidentally, what is the deal with this PUMA crap about conservatives not talking to pollsters?

I refuse to hit Limbaugh’s site, but I suspect it’s an artifact of cognitive dissonance. The wingnut mind cannot accept the reality that they are not the “mainstream” and that their failed ideology is being repudiated by the electorate; they have to create a reason for what they see but cannot accept.

This is where we get all of the goofy wingnut beliefs like “conservatives won’t tall to pollsters”, “Obama hypnotizes his audience”, “ACORN is stealing the election” etc.

I usually don’t click on the links but I did this time because I foolishly doubted the accuracy of TBogg’s shorter. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! grumpyforester, send over that bleach when you’re done cleansing your ‘puter, thanx.

Schiffren flatters herself. She looks like something scraped off the floor of the fridge, in a suit and pearls.

unfortunately, nothing in the Constitution disallows angry, addle-brained jerkoffs form holding the highest office in the land(cf Bush, GW). It may be that the Founders lacked the foresight to make laws suitable to an idiocracy, but Rather still is correct.

This is all about lancing a boil, everyone. It’s been repressed rather than dealt with, and so been getting bigger and nastier under the surface. Now it’s being popped, the poisons will flow out of it, and it’ll be hit with the nice cleansing antiseptic called reality.

Rachel Maddow had Dan Rather on her show Thursday night (after Rachel had interviewed Obama), and Rather, in his comments, said something that threw me: he said that both Obama or McCain are qualified to be President.

Maybe it’s just Partisan Me, fed up with years of Repugnican campaign tactics, and sick of the tire-swinging (Thanks, TPM!) media…but I no longer think John McCain is, in fact, qualified to be President. Quite apart from the fact that I don’t agree with his political views, I think this campaign has clearly revealed McCain to be unprincipled, hot-headed, and impulsive beyond reason. To paraphrase Oliver Wendell Holmes, he has a second-class intellect and a third-class temperament. If the first doesn’t disqualify him from the Presidency, the second clearly should.

Or, as Lt. Worf would say: He has no honor!

(I couldn’t resist referring to both O.W. Holmes and Star Trek: TNG in the same comment.)

So it feels really, really good to be a blatant racist? And since this is a “typical” Krusty supporter, this will help to unite the country? Once again, McGrampy supporters are Obama’s best advocates!

So McCain is an honorable man, and as such I should have faith that after elected he will behave a whole lot better than he has up to now?

Lesley, that was one helluva post.
