What They Said

About “GOP in Ruins” by Richard Cohen:

“By the way, Democrats need folks like Bush, John McCain, and Sarah Palin like we need door mats … only to clean our boots on as we walk into the White House.” —The_Unicorn_of_Memphis

About “More Straight Talk,” a YouTube video of a McCain campaign speech, in which he inadvertently insults voters in Pennsylvania:

“Palin ain’t that stupid — she’s gotten almost $150,000 worth of fashion for just a couple months work, not to mention the deduction she’ll undoubtedly take when she gives the scraps to the Wasilla Goodwill.” — sbanbury

About “For the Kiddies’ Sake, Pitching National Baseball Day (Again)” by Frank Murtaugh:

“Baseball dead? Methinks not. Life support? Not really. Just a few blows that have left bruises and black eyes that will heal over time. All of our sports (and is horse racing a sport?) have become a slave to the almighty dollar. Sponsorship and salaries are woven into the fabric of uniforms our heroes wear.” — FlyGuy

Comment of the Week:

About “On Palin’s Wardrobe Malfunction” by Marty Aussenberg:

“McSame and Palin thought they could play a game of political Punk’d and get away with it. They thought they could wrap a big, shining, sparkling $150,000 bow around a box of sh*t and voters would buy it, just like they did with Dubya.” — rantboy
