Joe Biden gets the zinger of the night. Responding to John McCain’s listing of all of the places he’d been and people he’s met, Biden pointed out that he’d been to all of the same places and met all of the same people. He added: “Just because I was there doesn’t make me right.” [...]

Daily Show: Bush on the Bailout Meets Bush on Iraq
I still think Bush’s urgent demand for action on the bailout is more like his post 9/11 push for the Patriot Act than his rush to war against Iraq. Either way, this is freakin hilarious:
Bitch Slaps of the Night (Updated)
Two Three, actually (so far — and paraphrasing):
1. Obama: ‘He [McCain] talked about how liberal I am, but maybe it just seems that way because I was so opposed to the policies of George W. Bush.’
2. Obama in response to McCain’s proposal for a spending freeze: ‘The problem with that is that it’s taking a [...]
It’s a Race to the Bottom and We’re Winning
Or maybe it’s a quest for mediocrity. Either way, we’re ahead. Some thoughts on Sarah Palin:
Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.
No one hates saying that more than I do. Like so many women, I’ve [...]
Check Out the Caboose on that Vice Presidential Candidate
They say it’s real, and God knows the comparison to Caitlin Upton is apt. Via HuffPo — judge for yourself:
Mazal Tov, John McCain
Via Janice:
Chris Cillizza reports that Capitan America’s “inactive” campaign’s been placing ads on the internet declaring him the winner of a debate he claimed he wasn’t going to attend. Patriotic and prophetic. Here’s the ad:
Stunning Turnaround: John McCain to Attend Debate
Wow, who could have predicted that John McCain would attend tonight’s debate? I guess Captain America’s job is done in Washington, making him available to participate in a debate he’d previously agreed to, then backed out of. From CNN:
McCain said earlier this week he would not attend the debate if an agreement had not been reached [...]
Sarah Palin: More Israeli Than the Israelis
In another clip from her fingernails-on-a-chalkboard interview with Katie Couric, Sarah Palin yesterday promised never to second guess “Israel’s security efforts.”
Palin’s comments put her in direct conflict with just about everybody in Israel. Anyone who’s spent any time there (and I have) knows that Israelis are rarely of a single mind on any issue, particularly [...]
Will Sarah Palin Deliver Maps to the Iraq Everywhere Like Such as?
COURIC: Why isn’t it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries? … Instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?
…
PALIN: Ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that [...]
Forget Andrew Sullivan: What’s up With Bill Clinton?
Allah can certainly be forgiven for asking the question: Is Bill Clinton voting Republican this year?
And by the way, isn’t it odd that Clinton concludes that McCain “isn’t acting in bad faith” in “suspending” his campaign and canceling his debate appearance simply because he believes McCain isn’t “scared?” Isn’t “suspending” and cancelling in order to change the [...]
