“No way, no how, no McCain, no Palin.” - HRC

Sarah Palin. Pretty face. Neat story. Good person.

But she’s no Hillary Clinton. Hillary’s backers didn’t just vote for her because she was a woman, but instead because she was a woman who was a champion of women’s rights. Palin is nothing of the sort. That’s what makes this pick condescending to women. Hillary voters didn’t want just any woman–they wanted Hillary. I don’t think Sarah Palin will appeal to them. But I know Joe Biden–who wrote the 1994 Violence Against Women Act and has been fighting for women his entire career–will. I know Michelle Obama, a real champion of our daughters, will. I know that much.

Additionally, she has no foreign policy experience. Also, the little town she was mayor of before recently becoming Alaska’s Governor was about the same size of the crowds I played in front of as a high school football player back in the day. Is this the person we want to be a 72 year old’s heartbeat away from being Commander-in-Chief? That’s an argument that I’m sure Joe Biden is willing to have.

Yes, it is a neat story. I’ll give you that. But like Obama said last night, this isn’t about them–it is about us. Like Biden she has a neat story. Like Hillary she is a woman. Like Obama she is fresh and a dynamic speaker. But that is all she has in common with the powerhouses of the Democratic Party.

When it comes to the issues, she’s just like Bush, Cheney and McCain. Sarah Palin may look different, but in the end she is more of the same disguised as a pretty little Trojan horse. Maverick my ass.

Bill Maher is my main man. I don’t always see eye to eye with him, but I love this dude. I about shat myself on this Hillary clip…

Just effin’ hilarious stuff on the foreign policy whopper Hillary Clinton has been telling. From Huff Post:

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who has been accused in recent days of padding her foreign policy resume while First Lady, admitted today that she may have exaggerated about an encounter she said she had with al-Qaeda terror mastermind Osama bin Laden in 1998.

In an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, Sen. Clinton told host Tim Russert, “I wrestled bin Laden in his cave in 1998 and had him pinned to the ground before the bastard got away.

But a review of Sen. Clinton’s official White House schedule from that period revealed that the then-First Lady was nowhere in the vicinity of Mr. bin Laden on that day, but was instead greeting a group of honor roll students at Disney World in Orlando…

Good to see that people are starting to call her bluff. For more on the drastically underreported lies of HRC, check out these links:

Keith Olbermann was Edward R. Murrow tonight. He’s just amazing; First he’s the best sports anchor on TV, now the second coming of Murrow. What more can I say…just watch…

Yep, Horton Hears A Who hits theaters this weekend, and it’s not just me using the occasion to parody Hillary Clinton. The New Haven Advocate is also channeling Theodor Geisel, injecting a little Seuss into the situation. Here’s a snippet:

The time has come, We don’t care how.
But Hillary Rodham Clinton
Will you please GO NOW!

Your campaign is becoming
An endless charade,
So get off the trail,
Burn out now, don’t just fade.

You can swim down a river
Of crocodile tears.
You can surf on a wave
Of terrorist fears.

Enough with the red phone!
Enough with the NAFTA!
If you like,
You can go now by White Water Rafta…
