peaceful_fox to the Guardian and so onward
NYT on McCain's non-campaigning campaign stops
TPM on McCain's advisors campaigning for him
Andrew Sullivan's readers on McCain's continuing campaign
And what is it that McCain is going to do when he gets to Washington, given that he doesn't sit on the Senate banking committee, the finance committee, the budget committee, or the appropriations committee? or the subcommittees on Financial Services and General Government; Economic Policy; Financial Institutions; Securities, Insurance and Investment; or Security and International Trade and Finance?

Sep. 12th, 2008 02:27 pmI see Andrew Sulivan has already picked up on this one.
"I have had a strong and a long relationship on national security, I've been involved in every national crisis that this nation has faced since Beirut, I understand the issues, I understand and appreciate the enormity of the challenge we face from radical Islamic extremism," the Senator declared. "I am prepared. I am prepared. I need no on-the-job training. I wasn't a mayor for a short period of time. I wasn't a governor for a short period of time."
Who was speaking? John McCain...

Aug. 29th, 2008 11:24 amGOP denies Monty Python connection to campaign
"Republicans spokespersons have denied that Sen McCain;s pick for running mate, AK Gov Sarah Palin, is related to British comedian and documentary filmmaler Michael Palin."
OK, so I made that quote up. But it would be about as plausible as anything else in this election. Yes, Sen McCain, you are going to draw in all those disaffected middle-of-the-road voters who were inspired by Hillary by choosing a woman as your running mate. Of course, she's anti-abortion, a life member of the NRA, is deeply conservative, has never been heard of before on the national stage, and has none of the experience that you criticised Sen Obama for not having (less, in fact). But I bet all those Hilary supporters will be flooding into your campaign. Any. Day. Now.
P.S. BTW, Sen McCain, watch your mouth around her; she's a tough Alaskan, and if you use some of the language to her that you use towards your wife and your Senate colleagues, you may be picking your teeth up off the floor...

Aug. 22nd, 2008 11:32 amI'm using the "re-defeat Bush" icon for McCain from now on, since that's pretty much what we're talking about here.
Almost as an aside, the Washington Post points out that Phil Gramm has been welcomed back to the McCain campaign team. Phil Gramm, whose banking deregulation efforts created the housing meltdown. Phil Gramm, who thinks Americans suffering from the recession are whiners who need to get a life. Nice signal to send to the average American, Senator Seven-Houses.
Of course, Sen. 7H is not quite as good at sending a clear message as he would like. He may cozy up the religious right, but I doubt that they are comfortable with his tendency to refer to his Senate peers as 'chicken sh!t', suggest they f*ck themselves, and describe his wife as a trollop or a c@nt. On the other hand, those are pretty clear messages. Just not very presidential ones... Perhaps he needs to go back to Solzhenitsen for a few more moving anecdotes...
