1 Excellent, excellent snark.

Well done, sir.

Turn the page . . .

SEGER!!!!!!!

2 No doubt the NYT headlines acknowledge this duplicity. You know these dis-invitations when Dems chicken out are becoming a pattern.

3

You know who this benefits?

 

Mitt Romney.

4 McCain called the bluff and the Dems, well, go into default lying mode as always. the O does not even feel the need to be there to vote "present". What a cocksucker.

5 Right on, Ace.

6 What a great day for comedy. Barney Frank is calling McCain's unilateral "suspension" move a Hail Mary. Barney is calling it a Hailier Mary than any in the history of football, and his Frank is calling the Maryest Football in the entire history of hail. I just hope they can all come together and sing a couple of choruses of Kumbayah while the balls still in the air or at least before McCain arrives in the nick of time to vote on closure motion. And here I'd always assumed it was dumb to throw Hail Mary passes except at the end of the half and the end of the game. Turns out the Hail Mary is McCain's version of the ground game.

7 Are there Republicans in Congress who actually come to McCain's defense? Or are they ignored by the media?

NY Times headline

"McCain attempts to back out of debate"

"Campaign in disarray over new poll number at Daily Kos"

9 Leadership.

10 Republicans don't enter into the media's narrative.

11 Ohhhh...fundraising. Awesome. Word of any more $35,800-a-plate dinners leaks out -- in the middle of THIS shitstorm -- and people will be after Hopichangelo with pitchforks and torches. Me first!

12 I'm thinking the best thing about this keystone kop political theatre is that it strengthens the possibility that nothing gets done.  Keep the factions divided, and we just might get out of this fiscal nightmare with it just sucking hugely.  If congress gets its act together and does something, the catastrophic collapse just moves a little further, and ends up hitting harder.

13 The funny thing is that if Barry wasn't the nominee and was missing in the Senate, no one would even notice. He's so unimportant even his own leaders don't know what committee assignments he has.

14 And here's the latest one from the Obama spokesweasels.

Really, what this whole campaign is doing is making it clear that the Democrat Party believes that literally everything you do or say is correct as long as you are black.

15 what a dumbass.....does he know what the word, LEAD means

16 Ace, I just heard that the House passed some bullshit bill/compromise that limits drilling to certain areas and will not allow new leases untill 2011.

17 Comedy - WAPO

"But Democratic leaders, who said they hope to approve the bailout plan by the end of the week, were having their own trouble rallying the rank and file. House Democrats summoned to a lunchtime meeting to discuss the proposal yesterday received a glossary of financial terms, such as "credit default swap" and "illiquid assets."

18

>people will be after Hopichangelo with pitchforks and torches. Me first!

they'll have to fight thru a phalanx of NYTimes reporters to get to The One

19 >>>Ace, I just heard that the House passed some bullshit bill/compromise that limits drilling to certain areas and will not allow new leases untill 2011.

Wow... I hadn't heard that.  will search.

20 Yeah, UB, I just caught a piece of a news story on the radio.

21 What a fucking liar Harry Reid is.

He's now blabbing about how he and his fellow Democrats don't want presidential politics to get involved with this.

Yet just yesterday, guess who said guess what:

(Barney) Frank said he spoke with Obama on Sunday and has "talked to people on his economic team. They've been talking to the speaker" too, he said. Congressional aides said Democrats want to "stay on the same page" with the Obama campaign.

Somebody needs to grab Nancy Pelosi by Dingy Harry's balls and ask them to both explain that one.

22

I can't go to the Senate and help solve the financial crisis, "that's above my paygrade"

-Barry Obamuh

23 hey listen uuum umm umm i can do ahh ahh ah umm umm do at once 2 things i ah have things going on....thats what ahh i said and ahh ahh umm umm um thats me being presidential.

24

McCain: Barry, we should go to Washington and come up with a solution to the current financial crisis and do our duty to the American people.

Barry: Let them eat cake.

25

DD, would that be this Barney Frank:

I want to begin by saying that I am glad to consider the legislation, but I do not think we are facing any kind of a crisis. That is, in my view, the two government sponsored enterprises we are talking about here, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not in a crisis. We have recently had an accounting problem with Freddie Mac that has led to people being dismissed, as appears to be appropriate. I do not think at this point there is a problem with a threat to the Treasury.

I must say we have an interesting example of self-fulfilling prophecy. Some of the critics of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac say that the problem is that the Federal Government is obligated to bail out people who might lose money in connection with them. I do not believe that we have any such obligation. And as I said, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy by some people.

So let me make it clear, I am a strong supporter of the role that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac play in housing, but nobody who invests in them should come looking to me for a nickel--nor anybody else in the Federal Government. And if investors take some comfort and want to lend them a little money and less interest rates, because they like this set of affiliations, good, because housing will benefit. But there is no guarantee, there is no explicit guarantee, there is no implicit guarantee, there is no wink-and-nod guarantee. Invest, and you are on your own.

Now, we have got a system that I think has worked very well to help housing. The high cost of housing is one of the great social bombs of this country. I would rank it second to the inadequacy of our health delivery system as a problem that afflicts many, many Americans. We have gotten recent reports about the difficulty here.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have played a very useful role in helping make housing more affordable, both in general through leveraging the mortgage market, and in particular, they have a mission that this Congress has given them in return for some of the arrangements which are of some benefit to them to focus on affordable housing, and that is what I am concerned about here. I believe that we, as the Federal Government, have probably done too little rather than too much to push them to meet the goals of affordable housing and to set reasonable goals. I worry frankly that there is a tension here.

The more people, in my judgment, exaggerate a threat of safety and soundness, the more people conjure up the possibility of serious financial losses to the Treasury, which I do not see. I think we see entities that are fundamentally sound financially and withstand some of the disastrous scenarios. And even if there were a problem, the Federal Government doesn't bail them out. But the more pressure there is there, then the less I think we see in terms of affordable housing.

26 Long links will be deleted. I'm tired of this. USE TINYURL FOR CHRIST'S SAKES! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT?!

27 "closure motion" (?) "cloture" perhaps?

28 #26 I view that article as a hit of morphine for the disappointed econazis.

29 BTW, I understand that Presidents have to be able to do more than one thing at a time, but what about Senators? AFAIK, Obama is still a US Senator, and not the current sitting President. Isn't this another case of him promoting himself a paygrade or two before the election?

30

"What a clusterfuck it is going to be if the Dem's get all three gov't branches."

That is pretty much the talking point I have used today with people.

No one I know has any coherent response.  The Ozombies at work were aimless with random almost half-hearted attacks (Coward! Showboating! Old! Palin's something bad!).

I have no idea of what the news is right now so I am going to go catch up.

I am pleased to see that is the normal gaggle of morons flailing about Ace's place.  All is normal.

 

 

 

31 Reid is just carrying water for the Chosen One. One phone call and Harry finds that Obama says "Stall, I got nuthin. Let McCain make the first move." So McCain says he's coming back to Washington. Team Obama is in "WTF! mode". Another quick call to Harry. "Tell McCain he's not needed. Ya dumb shit, who told you to call him back to Washington?" Barry Obama....LEADERSHIP you can count on. Barry's ducking Washington because he knows they're not allowed to vote "present".

32

Snort!!!  Teh Messiah objetced to McCain going to DC and asking for a delay in debate by saying presidents ought to be able to do more than one thing at a time, from more than one place

And what has B. Hussein actually DONE one at a time, from any single place?

And where was this attitude when the Moore-ons jeered that Boooosh should have immediately flown back to D.C. on 9/11?

Fuck'em all.  Ace's masthead is starting to look like a call to action.

33 Harry, are you an American or a Democrat?

34 Look we all know McCain is being responsible, and Obama is free riding on that. So what?

NO ONE will hear this stuff. No one is going to ever know that Reid yesterday said McCain was vital to passage, and today irrelevant and harmful. Already, Letterman is mocking McCain and calling him old and feeble, unable to "multitask" ala "the One" and it's working.

People are laughing at McCain and praising "the One" who will not be held accountable for any of the inevitably messy compromises in the bill. Who probably won't even vote on it. Will be protected by the media.

McCain does not know how to win against Obama, the polls are all consistent and have Obama up by either 9 or 6 or 5 or 4 points. Depending on which poll you look at.

Obama is winning, he's winning big, because people blame Bush and McCain. It's not accurate, it's not fair, it's not realistic but the Media is in the tank so heavily that no one will ever know about Obama being paid by Freddie and Fannie to the tunes of hundreds of thousands.

Obama, at this point, is going to win not by ten but by fifteen points or more. Landslide. He can use the crisis too to suspend great whacking parts of the Constitution and make himself President for Life. With the landslide in Congress he'll get it done too, with the cheerleading of the Media.

We need a game changer. McCain has lost whatever skills his staff had, they are clueless and idiotic. Obama gets the entire debate to himself, and makes McCain even more responsible to voters for the whole mess. While Obama's campaign goes unanswered for weeks. Meanwhile, where the heck is Mitt, Rudy, Fred, and Huck? Why aren't they being sent out to attack?

All you morons, we need a big defensive play. Not a stop but a turnover. No one is ever going to see or read Newt's points. No one is going to see this blog. We need a viral video, up on Youtube, that mocks the "One" and his run away from responsibility. His lack of leadership. His inability to put country first. Something to end  run around Letterman and Leno and the rest.

We need to drag Maverick over the finish line the way the Giants D dragged their offense the last five games or so. Including the Superbowl.

No one is going to know about Reid's ever changing positions. Unless WE tell them.

Short, sweet, 30 seconds. I'd do it but I lack even minimal skills.

35

If substantial progress on a bail out isn't made tomorrow (and I mean real serious progress), Friday will be a very bad day on Wall Street. 

Prepare yourselves.

I'm not sure what preparation is best, though.  Maybe stock up on your favorite booze, clean out the bong and lay in some good weed.  I dunno.

Here's one tip:  if you're heavily invested in the market, stay away from high windows.

I'm not usually this pessimistic, and predicting the future is always stupid.  So, now that I've predicted the doom on Friday, everything will probably be O.K.

You can thank me later.  Just my way of taking one for the team.

36 "We need the Republican nominee for President to let us know WHERE HE STANDS, and WHAT WE SHOULD DO." After the whole Larry Craig thing, McCain has to be soooo tempted to actually answer that. I sometimes wish he wasn't such a class act.

37 "Clean out the bong and lay in some good weed." Umm, yeah. You're talking a Friday, right? Here's some advice for Monday: "Set your alarm for a full hour before you actually have to be at work." You're welcome.

38 Obama is fundraising?  I thought he was learning his lines for the debate.

39 But the houses has passed that kind of drilling bill already.  It's the Senate that isn't making any movement on this, permitting the ban to sunset.

40 Obama dare not miss his dinner date with Gwen Ifill Thursday night.

41

#34 Whiskey: We need a viral video, up on Youtube, that mocks the "One"

Well, being a moron you could try to rough out an inital storyboard, then maybe do public searches to locate video clips that fit your points, work on a dialogue for voice over.

Then maybe email it to say, Ace, to see if he likes the concept & is willing to forward your email to any production mided morons he might know.

Or you could depend on the Hope that someone else will solve that problem you identify.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On a different note I have learned a new word while reading news:

Warmonglers  Yep, that be McCain and Palin.  Who knew?

43 Just as a point of order, I didn't see where Dingy Harry told McLame to "come back to Washington".  He said that he needed "to know where McLame stands".

BTW, dick move, Greg.

44 Look, greg has been dropping his turds in every comment thread, basically. Just to fuck with Ace. (and us) Anyway, whatever. Obama hasn't done anything useful in the Senate as of yet (hmmm, neither has Biden), so why start now? I agree, Obama doesn't need to be in DC. He has nothing to add to the discussion.

45 How's this for a theme: "When the political leadership and finest economic mindsof America were gathered with John McCain in Washington to fix the mortgage scandal, Barak Obama was in... (fill in the state)." ?

46 You people are just messing with me.  Harry Reid isn't alive.  When's the last time anyone saw him actually do anything?

Obama's tough though.  When the going gets tough, the tough get going.  He's already gone, and not coming back.  That, I submit, is tough.

47 ...I think the congressional approval rating of 17% is looking too high right about now

48 To fill in the blank of andy randy's comment:when the politcial leadership and great minds of america were in washington with mccain and freinds obama was busy whispering sweet nothings in joe biden's ear

49 I'm very very puzzled by post #6.
Where's the frothing lunacy, the deep ignorance, the sheer hatred? 
It was re-edited, wasn't it?
