I think the satire works for Obama since many people still think he is a muslim. I think they should have left it at that.

I think the depiction of Michelle Obama as the gun toting chick with the afro was in poor taste.

Well, you just knew that the New Yorker/Obama thing would create an equal time thingy and here it is.

http://blorts.cutaia.net/2008/the-new-yorker-does-john-mccain/

On a completely serious note on this issue, IMO the New Yorker is a worthless rag and not worth the time to consider but thanks to so many, the New Yorker has gotten tons of free advertising so from the standpoint of the normal output of this "leftist rag" if you will and most likely from your normal perspective, the next time they publish an article that socially or politically you find completely tasteless and off the reservation, you might look in the mirror and see if you see someone who in the arena of ideas and thought posted things to make them of some relevance! By placing this issue in the public discourse and thus making it a news item so to speak, you've brought good, free attention to this publication that they can capitialize on and turn into $$$$$$. Mindless masses of leemings.

Just a thought!


Yeah the McCain thing above is completely tasteless too and I don't even like the guy politically speaking but you guys have helped to create this monster so there you go!

LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN! Here comes the "OH SO TYPICAL MNDLESS" response.

How about the possibility of having a V.P. that would so compliment the ticket??

John Edwards, who made a big deal about his loyalty to his cancer-stricken wife during his failed presidential campaign, was actually cheating on her and presiding over an elaborate cover-up. He even has a love child with the radiant Rielle Hunter:

Now there is a real catch.
What woman in her right mind could get turned on by a man who is cheating on his wife? Especially a sick wife?

If the source is from The National Enquirer and Fox news.....it must be true......and, if it is true, at least Dem's get caught with their pants down with women, unlike their Rep counter parts.

Hey Dez,

You can make fun & laugh at rags like the Enquirer & The Globe, but I've read things in there I thought were ridiculous and the very next week the major networks are reporting the exact same thing.
They have been accurate too many times to ignore them totally.

The sad part in all of this is while the politicos of Washington play "gotcha" Elizabeth Edwards is the real victim. The lady is battling cancer and now whether it's true or not, has to face this crap.

Hey, FVCK THE ISSUES!
More wine and circus Right!

I hate spoiling a party (not really) so I'll leave ya with a bit of kid's humor as it concerns Obama.


3 Kids Fishing

Barak Obama was out jogging one morning along the
parkway when he tripped, fell over the bridge railing and
landed in the creek below.

Before the Secret Service guys could get to him, 3
kids who were fishing pulled him out of the water.
He was so grateful he offered the kids whatever they

wanted.

The first kid said, 'I want to go to Disneyland '

Barak said, 'No problem, I'll take you there on my
special Senator's airplane.'

The second kid said, 'I want a new pair of Nike Air
Jordan's shoes.'

Barak said, 'I'll get them for you and even
have Michael Jordan sign them!'

The third kid said, ' I want a motorized wheelchair with a
built in TV and stereo headset!'

Barak was a little perplexed by this and said,
'But you don't look like you're handicapped.'



The kid said, 'I will be after my dad finds out
I saved you from drownin'!'

John Edwards was caught by the National Enquirer at the Beverly Hilton Monday seeing his mistress and their infant love child. So that's it. All last year when he campaigned against premature withdrawal everybody assumed he was talking about Iraq.

Now wait, was it CNN or was it National Enquirer? Or was it CNN reporting from the National Enquirer? Have you guys not learned anything about the MSM in this country yet!

No wonder our choices are between 2 losers like Obama and McCain. The American voter has no capacity of deeper thought or anything beyond the 30 second soundbite or Fox News pop up otherwise known as "Talking Points!"

Leprachaun! Works for me!


Hey More, you should watch the movie Fahrenheit 451, you'd love that society I'm sure.

Yep, the so called "liberal media" left behind the JV squad due to Obama's world tour, so they have to chase around the poparazzi for stories, right?

First the McCain camp calls for Obama to travel the Middle East and Europe, but then they complain he's having such a great reception and acting to presidential. He can't win with you guys know matter what.
