Emmett Says “Vote! Because I Can’t!”

Tomorrow’s the big day! And so, we thought we check in one last time with Schadenfreude’s (now 4 year old) political pundit, Emmett James. Emmett, seen here with his Obama puppet that he made at the Library, has had some strong and accurate predictions in the past. We caught up with Emmett in his post [...]
The most liberal senator ever again

I can’t prove this, nor do I have any interest in looking for proof. I am not a lawyer, I’m a bullshitter. But I just heard a speech from John McCain (the Senator not the guy who invented the dehumidifier) where he called Barack Obama: “The most liberal Senator ever to run for office.” Now, [...]
Cut to November 5th. What do we do with all of these McCain cups?
7-11 is starting it’s informal (yet creepily accurate) coffee/election poll. You pick a McCain cup if you like coffee. And you pick an Obama cup if you like your coffee black — or something like that — I get confused. In a city like Chicago, this poll is pretty hilarious. Did they even send McCain [...]

Joe The Plumber-sploitation

As of 10:30pm, there are 80 references to “Joe The Plumber” on youtube. I’m real curious what 24 hours of a nation full of videocameras brings. I have no need to post this clip, I’ll be tagging all my posts with “Joe The Plumber” anyway, but, like you, I didn’t know what the hell John [...]

Enough with the “there’s just too many questions” bit

My least-favorite political tactic is being warmed up. The Republicans and anybody in fax range raise inconclusive “concerns” for a year straight and then wrap it all up at the end by saying: “I’m not saying John Kerry Barack Obama wants to destroy the country, I’m just saying there are simply too many questions.” – which only [...]

On the verge of the Vice Presidential Debate it’s important to remember the true meaning of Schadenfreude

How sick is everyone about hearing how awesome Godzilla Phantom Menace this debate will be? I don’t think any amount of fuckupery or bullying can actually make a Vice Presidential debate interesting. And how many interviews did Katie Couric do with her last week?There was the fuckup one, the walk and talk, the one with McCain [...]
In case you missed the debate.

Republicans think John McCain won and Democrats think Barack Obama won.
Now you’re up to date.
And now a special preview of next weeks debate.
Democrats think Joe Biden won and Republicans think that Sarah Palin “held her own and showed them that she’s (words you would use to describe Reese Witherspoon in Election)”
The timing of when Republicans would like to put politics aside is always interesting.

Quite a chess game isn’t it? If you agree to hold the debate it’s because you’re partisan and aren’t willing to put the country above politics. They found a way to make him lose the debate two days before they could have it. They’ve got lots of little tricks don’t they? So fascinated was I by [...]
Plenty of stickers equating Obama to a Palestinian Organization available at the Redstate.com store

I’m shocked at how little merchandise there is making clear to me the dangerousness of Obama’s middle name and how much there is reminding me that Barack’s name has three of the five letters necessary to spell a terrorist organization’s name (tied with John McCain)
An Open letter to every dick I’ve ever had a free-market argument with

What I meant to say is that at a certain point open markets turn into Socialism anyway. So why not have Socialism by Regulatory Committee with comsumer protection as opposed to Socialism by the Government Owning the company? That’s what I meant to say. And when did having Regulations become socialist anyway? …I’m going to [...]
Obama calls Palin a Fatty!

So I guess what we’re to assume is that one of the smartest and likeable politicians in recent memory just came out and called McCain’s VP a fatty? Is that what they’re saying? He’s that stupid? Really? Just like Gore and Kerry, Obama is so cautious to state the color of the sky for fear [...]
So what was with the greenscreen?

I caught just enough of McCain’s speech to miss the John McCain from 2000 and ask everybody in the room why he’s performing in front of a greenscreen ten times. Nobody knew. All I could think of was how much hay Stephen Colbert made of McCain accepting the nomination previously in front of a green-ish [...]
