It's a happy day for MoDo

Now she doesn't have to be nice to Barack Obama anymore:
On 9/11, President Bush learned of disaster while reading “The Pet Goat” to grade-school kids. On Tuesday, President Obama escaped from disaster by reading “The Moon Over Star” to grade-school kids.

“We were just tired of being in the White House,” the two-week-old president, with Michelle at his side, explained to students at a public charter school near the White House.

Even as he told the children his favorite superheroes were Batman and Spider-Man, his own dream of being the superhero who swoops in to swiftly save America was going SPLAT!

It just ain’t that easy.

Unlike W. and Dick Cheney, who heroically resisted acknowledging their historically boneheaded mistakes, President Obama summoned a conga line of Anderson, Katie, Brian, Chris and Charlie to the Oval Office to do penance, over and over.

“I think I messed up. I screwed up,” he confessed to Couric.

He told the anchors that the man who helped make him president, Tom Daschle, had made “a serious mistake” by not paying taxes on a car and driver. (It should have been a harbinger of doom when Daschle began sporting those determined-to-be-hip round red glasses.)

Mr. Obama admitted that “ultimately it’s important for this administration to send a message that there aren’t two sets of rules. You know, one for prominent people and one for ordinary folks who have to pay their taxes.”

It took Daschle’s resignation to shake the president out of his arrogant attitude that his charmed circle doesn’t have to abide by the lofty standards he lectured the rest of us about for two years.


Because after all, sitting dumbfounded in a third-grade classroom while over 2500 people burn to death or jump out of 100-story windows is EXACTLY THE SAME as just wanting a taste of the real world that doesn't have anything to do with people like.....Maureen Dowd.

Well at least now we know for certain what makes the Beltway gasbags tick -- they're still the dumbass jocks and cheerleaders who think the smart kids with good grades are just a bunch of wussy-ass goody two-shoes.

Excuse me, Senator McCain, but the nomination isn't for auditioning your next wife

Jed again:





Talk about pictures being worth a thousand words. Note how Palin doesn't want to get too close to Old Granddad. Note how he keeps sneaking peeks at her chest. Note also how he plays with his wedding ring through the whole thing, while Cindy gazes on in the background.

I don't think a whole lot of women have much sympathy for Cindy McCain. After all, payback's a bitch, isn't it? And I don't think Palin is at all dazzled by John McCain, but she's a shrewd operator who'd be a damn fool to turn down an opportunity like this. Still...it'll be interesting to see what people who spent eight years blasting Bill Clinton for thinking with his dick think as they watch John McCain do the same thing. Only don't you think that the entire country is a bit extravagant as a gift to a hottie you're obsessed with?

And you're not exactly being subtle about it, either.

Ew.
