I don't know if I can speak to you if you're going to call yours (Mackro Mackro), Wednesday, 5 November 2008 03:21 (seventeen years ago)

As I said last time:

The youtube clips of weepy concession speeches and of flacks looking depressed, the hysterical outbursts from your off-the-deep-end blogger of choice, the explosions of ugliness in the comment boxes, the whining, the flailing.

This is not a thread to talk about someone putting up a good campaign and being gracious in defeat, and if you think someone's done just that, spare them their blushes and don't link them. This thread is about the tools who have irritated you greatly and now have nothing to show for it but their own craptasticness.

From the fr33p thread:

He's not my president. And no I don't respect the office either. So there. If he wins, I'll concede that it's God judgment on America for the sin of abortion.

I don’t believe they’re just letting all this fraud go and a socialist without a birth certificate into our white house. Thank the Lord my elders aren’t alive to see this.

haha and fuck you

Saw this (presumably un-ironically) on fr33p or somesuch. The odd thing about these people is the absolutely sincere disbelief that the media didn't run with their batshit talking points. 'why didn't the MSM call Nobama on being a Marxist' argh etc.

So much tasty Schadenfreude here: http://www.newsweek.com/id/167581

NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin's shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain's top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family—clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent "tens of thousands" more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.

A Palin aide said: "Governor Palin was not directing staffers to put anything on their personal credit cards, and anything that staffers put on their credit cards has been reimbursed, like an expense. Nasty and false accusations following a defeat say more about the person who made them than they do about Governor Palin."

McCain himself rarely spoke to Palin during the campaign, and aides kept him in the dark about the details of her spending on clothes because they were sure he would be offended. Palin asked to speak along with McCain at his Arizona concession speech Tuesday night, but campaign strategist Steve Schmidt vetoed the request.

Apologies in advance for the stereotypes, but the only people I met in my life in the U.S. who proudly admitted to never wanting to travel outside the U.S. are the suburban never-leave-home types and the ones you've seen at the Palin rallies. These are the ones who cried IRELAND the past two months.

Joe the Plumber funnies:

[The McCain campaign] is trying to throw Sarah Palin under the bus. They are trying to allude to the fact that she is the reason that John McCain might have lost this election. That does not sit well with me. John McCain has not come out and said that Sarah Palin is an honorable woman and has not protected her.
