John McCain Brings Us Good News & Bad News

Pundit of the Month # 2

The Rules:

Nominate/predict/guesstimate up to 19 Members of POTUS #44's Cabinet. Just name the names. You do not have to identify which Department each will head. If your selections are nominated by POTUS #44 to fill some of the following positions, you will score the designated number of points. The Departments are listed in order of the number points to be awards:

5-State = Clinton
5-Defense = Gates
5-Attorney General = Holder
5-Treasury = Geithner
4-Director of National Security = Jones
4-President's Chief-of-Staff = Emanuel
3-Ambassador to the United Nations = Rice
3-Homeland Security = Napolitano
3-Environmental Protection Agency
3-Energy
2-Veterans Affairs
2-Labor
2-Interior
2-Commerce = Richardson
1-Transportation
1-Housing and Urban Development,
1-Health and Human Services = Daschle
1-Education
1-Agriculture

Therefore if you happen to name the all people selected for these 19 positions (in whatever combination) you would score 53 points.

Here are some additional technical rules:

1. This is open to all who have a registered blogging name. OpenID's are permitted; anonymous nominations are not.
2. Nominating ballots can be either public or secret: they can be publicly submitted in comments below, or secretly submitted to me by email. (The subject line should be Cabinet Nominations'.)

4. In the event of a tie, the entry with the earlier date, wins.
   
5. The deadline will be midnight, November 5th, 2008.
6. Contest will be scored as soon as POTUS #44 has nominated someone to each of the 16 posts or 30 November, whichever comes first.
7. Winner's name will be posted on this blog in perpetuity for Forever Bragging Rights. His blog will also be linked. (Note: The first Blogger-of-the-Month is posted in the upper right-hand corner.)

Letterman-McCain feud enters second hilarious day

Let's see how far Dave is willing to take this. Judging from his remarks last night, this could go on for a while. Letterman, last night:

Here's how it works. You don't come to see me? You don't come to see me? Well, we might not see you on Inauguration Day.

Suspend the Elections

Memo from McCain to Obama:

A McCain campaign spokesperson had the following statement on wanting to suspend the elections:

We are formally asking the Obama campaign if it is OK to get Bush to temporarily suspend the elections.

It will just be until John McCain is ready to start a running a real campaign.

Interpretation:

• At first we thought rigor mortis was setting in.
  
• His doe has been caught in the headlights from the recent economic news.
  
• Palin nearly shot him.
• Did we mention McCain was a POW?
• This is a time for Democrats and Republicans to come together and put the country first!
• What else?

Speaking in Tongues

Bipartisan Memo

Subject: Upcoming Election

There are fewer than two months until the election, an election that will decide the next President of the United States. The person elected will be the president of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans.

To show our solidarity as Americans, let's all get together and show our support for the candidate of our choice. It's time that we all came together, Democrats and Republicans alike.

If you plan to vote for Barack Obama, please drive with your headlights on during the day.

If you plan to vote for John McCain, please drive with your headlights off at night!!!!!!!

Even John McCain Can't Say What Sarah Palin Brings to the Table

In the area of national security:
In an interview done by a local reporter in Maine on free TV, John McCain couldn't even give one example of Sara Palin's experience on foreign affairs, and looks foolish as a result.

How does one qualify the unqualified?

Deja Vue-Bush III-All Over Again:

Direct from the New York Times:

It's Game Time, Obama!

It's time to get down, get dirty, and roll in the mud. Presidential politics is not bean bags, it's a blood sport. Any thing goes. It's not a question of the size of the bitch, but the size of the fight in the bitch. Who wants this more? Barack or the Babe? Get mean and nasty, Barack.

Just in case anyone doesn't get my point, I voted yes in this poll!
