The Other McCain

Conservative Girl With A Voice Is A Bristol Palin Fan

by Smitty We’ll see if it’s still rattling around the TiVo when we get home, but CGWAV likes Bristol on the Jay Leno show. My question is how she’d fare in a celebrity cage match with ol’ Dirty Sexy Politics. I’m guessing that M&M’s candy butt wouldna do so weel.

Palin Derangement Syndrome Outbreak: There Are Still Five A’s in Raaaaacism

“With enough courage, you can do without a reputation.” — Rhett Butler, Gone With the Wind Some things are predictable — i.e., that the Palin-haters would decide it was a good time to recycle the old SPLC/LGF attacks on me in order to exploit my interview with Todd Palin for a guilt-by-association smear. When Rachel […]

Ladd Ehlinger WSJ Making-Of Clip

by Smitty Ladd Ehlinger tweets that the WSJ has finally posted the behind-the-scenes look at the filming of his now-viral Jane Harman ad: It appears that, for reasons of good taste, the Stacy McCain covered-in-pudding moment was edited out, leading to outbursts of hate in the Haight.

The rest of us in the blogosphere are now jealous of Dan. What do we have to do to get our own ilks? Is supporting Christine O’Donnell sufficient to qualify […]

Baldilocks Misunderstands The Narrative

by Smitty Here she is again, arguing in favor of some historically accurate view of the scourge of the slave trade. Historical ignorance is a key tool of the Raaaaacism Industrial Complex. A handy airbrushing of the facts supports important Guilt Distribution Policies that are used to control vast swaths of people and influence events, […]

Flying Miles Journeyed Render Awesomeness

by Smitty Nothing like the joy of answering the critics in a positive way, like Stacy scoring an exclusive with Todd Palin during the recent Alaska trip. Tip jar hitters are welcome to bask in the glow. If this blog’s tip jar excites you not, *sniff*, then do consider this week’s Ten Buck Fridays winner, […]

Never Question The Magnitude Of The Patriotism Of Howard Dean

by Smitty (h/t The Lonely Conservative) This is nine months old, but the most important thing to do is savor the matchless patriotism on display: International greetings : Greetings from Howard Dean from PES_Party of European Socialists on Vimeo. Additionally convenient: don’t ask toward which country Howard Dean is patriotic. It might not be the […]
