Liveblogging Prime Time

I know it’s not on yet, but anyone else here an AC360 fan? I have been getting into that show a lot–I love Erica Hill. Hate Candy Crowley–she personifies the BBQ media. It’s actually one of the few shows on cable that does actual “reporting”–rather than regurgitating the daily meme’s which is what most of cable news does.

Arrgh, CNN cooking the falsehoods in both campaigns!Suffice it to say there’s a huge difference between fundamental and fundamentally!Two fucking letters!OTOH, they don’t dare point to the race-baiting in Senator BBQ’s ad!Disgraceful! Shitheads!

I love how the BBQ media has mocked, ridiculed, and criticized the Clintons for years–and now they have almost all become Clinton concern trolls–pathetic.

JG,How else could Candy Crowley get any giggles? Go to a bar at closing time?

kansasdem — re Candy — PRICELESS!As for CNN, I think Jack Cafferty is the only “anchor” there that consistently speaks the truth.

I’m with you on Jack Cafferty–love that guy–used to watch him every day after school on Live At Five on NBC in NYC in the 80′s.

Frank Schaeffer’s blog entry on HuffPo today. Read it!http://www.huffingtonpost.com/frank-schaeffer/an-open-letter-to-all-rep_b_127709.htmlHere's a little taste:Now you belligerent asses are supporting the same idiot (McCain) that helped bring us Iraq. He is now champing at the bit to revive the cold, and maybe a hot war with Russia! Have you gone mad? Can’t you see you have an old foolish semi-senile man mired in the bathos of post-Vietnam “we were denied victory” psychosis for a candidate?

O/T but I’m lonely.Just got back from an Obama voter registration drive at the local high school. We got one! We got one!Okay, it was only one. But it was a nice night. And it appears I live in a very civic-minded community so I guess that’s good. Canvassing tomorrow and running a canvas on Sunday should be more profitable

erza klien has a good point…http://www.prospect.org/csnc/blogs/ezraklein_archive?month=09&year=2008&base_name=mccain_lies_about_the_cause_ofdid anyone else go “wha….huh???” at the assertion that fannie and freddie are the root of all evil according to mcpain?i idid, but then…thats a phrase im used to uttering, usually due to flares of my own ignorance.but….this time it seems i might actually have had a flash of informed!”Folks might recall the words “subprime loans” being bandied about rather frequently during this crisis. A subprime loan, in essence, is a loan that doesn’t meet requirements for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They were totally separate from the subprime market.”someone needs to get on this, as its yet ANOTHER clue that mcpain is losing it…and that his speech writers are just as clueless as he is….

damnit…letter transposition…. erza klein.

Yes! KO’s gonna cover Palin’s preacher “who makes Jeremiah Wright look like Father Flanagan of Boys Town”. About time!

psst….where is everyone?!?!?

Okay, everyone… get ready for complete and utter shock:Sarah Palin is going to meet with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai!Gotta get them foreign relation creds somewhere.I’d like to be a fly on the wall to see his face when he realizes she knows fuck all.Yikes!http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/19/palin-to-meet-with-karzai/

Thank God they are playing those pro surge ads during Countdown….they totally change my way of thinking! Lets stay in Iraq for a zillion more years!

I hear ya, cminri. It’s like – ohhh…Petraeus says it’s been a phenomenal success? Then it must be! That silly Obama, wanting to bring our troops home….what’s he thinking?

Woo hoo! Look at KO losing all that money! By November, he’ll be asking Rachel for a loan to buy lunch.

Yeah, Caroline. Who thought that was a good idea? Do they think people that watch MSNBC are rubes like the Fox viewers? Ridiculous waste of money.

I just look it this way..let them waste their money running these ads on programs like Countdown etc…better than influencing those people who are watching..oh I dont…Dancing with the Stars…

and speaking of the Surge(TM), have you guys seen this??http://news.yahoo.com/story//nm/20080919/sc_nm/iraq_lights_dc_2“By the launch of the surge, many of the targets of conflict had either been killed or fled the country, and they turned off the lights when they left,” geography professor John Agnew of the University of California Los Angeles, who led the study, said in a statement. …”Our findings suggest that the surge has had no observable effect, except insofar as it has helped to provide a seal of approval for a process of ethno-sectarian neighborhood homogenization that is now largely achieved,” Agnew’s team wrote in their report.I imagine that if this report gets any media play, the McWar campaign will say that the Surge (TM) that ethnic-cleansing is irrelevant.

Ooops – meant to add that the emphasis was mine.

Ooooooh…we’re going to be looking back at John McCain’s less than stellar week!!! Get the popcorn..this is gonna be good!

Make sure it’s an extra large bag of popcorn. It was quite a week.

Sarah Palin talks like a snotty teenager sometimes.

I think I like Ana Marie Cox…

The rundown of McSurge’s very bad week was pretty enjoyable. It’s schadenfreude, I know, but I can’t help it.

The Cheney/Palin comparison was spot on…and absolutely chilling.

Dammit I thought the debate was tonight. It’s next week (duh). Please please please let there be blood!
