Comment: Hasselbeck is putting in Major work for the Republican party. She might be working directly with the Mccain campaign. She knows all the RNC talking points and hits them hard every chance she get. Hasselbeck becoming a star because she is taking on 4 left-wings liberals, according to foxnews.

Comment: i have never seen someone with so many excuses to defend McSame and Fake-lin. if someone bought up the past on either one of them, she would say what does it have to do with anything, at the same time talking about Obamas past..i like it when they say..WHAT HAS HE DONE? meaning, WE CANT FIND ANYTHING BAD ABOUT HIM, SO LETS GET GET IT PEOPLE'S HEAD, THAT THERE IS SOMETHING OUT THERE!...McCain & Palin; THE STRAIGHT-TALK EXPRESS, MISSING A FEW WHEELS, ON A BRIDGE TO NO-WHERE.

Comment: i watched the clip of this exchange and i think that it is safe to say that her tenure with this show should be up. she has crossed the line and resorted to instituting the same type of swiftboating rhetoric that her republican friends are guilty of and if the viewers of that show had any balls they would ask that she be removed. this last exchange crossed the line from freedom of speech and opinion to outright slander and i think its time for walters to step and in remove this chick. she has gotten and bad a rosie odonell was when she left and i can see now why she left. this chick is venomous and has the outward apperance of a racist. its time for her to go.

Comment: Maybe they should ask Elizabeth Hasselbeck about McCain's behavior as documented in this article in yesterday's Washington Post. This article talks about how 43 year old John McCain got a marriage license to marry 25 year old Cindy Helmsley while he was still married to his 42 year old wife - the woman who had raised his kids alone while he was in Vietnam - while she was hospitalized from a near-fatal car accident. I wonder what character questions this would raise if this was Obama?

Comment: i agree w/ MAS, she's being paid to do it, and everyone's tuning in to watch it, which equals ratings and advertising revenue..... it's a set up. now maybe she does feel this way, and it's her right too, but let's not forget that this is about business first and foremost.

Comment: I wish someone would point out this fact to Sean Hannity and Elizabeth and everyone else who keeps spreading this lie that Bill Ayers gave a fundraiser for Obama to start his political career. I even heard this said on CNN last night.>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>> LIE: In 1995, Ayers and Dohrn "hosted a political coming out party for a young Barack Obama."(Sean Hannity, Hannity's America, October 5, 2008, "Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism") TRUTH: This was an event for Alice Palmer, not a "coming-out party" for Obama. Obama was invited by Palmer to the event.

Comment: Didn't see the clip, don't care to, same old, same old. I have no idea who this Hasselback lady is and why she's famous, but apparently someone cares about her because every time I look up, there's a story on yet another stupid thing she's said, lol. Imo, there were real grounds for getting rid of her when she very publcly and unprofessionally threw a guest under the bus (Michelle Obama) after smiling in her face and making nice, showing a very low level of character and making a mockery of the show she's supposed to represent. But oh well. *Shrug* Jazzfan, re your post. That story is old, but I'm always amazed at how many people I meet who don't know it. Since you say it was in the Post yesterday, perhaps the msm will take hold of it now that "character" is at the fore per Cain and Moose, but it's curious that heretofore, McCain's shady doings re his marriage have not made front page news for some reason. Hmmmm It's so funny when you think how two people with as bizarre and dark histories as Cain and Moose (adultery, shady dealings with lobbyists, excorism by witch-hunters, pregnant teen daughters, exploiting special needs children, etc.) could even possibly want to bring up the subject of "character," lol. You have to admire on some level their unmitigated gall, apparently brazen idiocy has no bounds, ha.

Comment: More from the Huffington Post:>>>>>>> Tonight's Hannity's America featured more of these absurd lies about Obama and Ayers in Hannity's infomercial for idiocy, including an amazing interview with legendary anti-Semitic crackpot Andy Martin: LIE: "My view is that the community organizer was really a sham event. Bill Ayers was testing him."(Andy Martin, Hannity's America, October 5, 2008, "Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism") TRUTH: Bill Ayers had nothing to do with Obama's community organizing job. It's pure lunacy to imagine that Ayers was "testing" Obama. LIE: Obama's "community organizing is a grand scheme perpetuated by none other than William Ayers."(Sean Hannity, Hannity's America, October 5, 2008, "Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism") TRUTH: Obama's community organizing was not a vast conspiracy for revolution devised by Bill Ayers. LIE: "They live half a mile from William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist" and "Just a half a mile from those homes is Louis Farrakhan."(Hannity's America, October 5, 2008, "Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism") TRUTH: It's true, of course, that Obama lives in this same neighborhood, as do tens of thousands of other people who presumably are also guilty by geographical association. The logic of this argument would be, if you live half a mile from a sex offender, then you agree with child molesters. LIE: Obama and Ayers "appeared together at various public engagements...it would seem that they are more than just a little bit friendly."(Sean Hannity, Hannity's America, October 5, 2008, "Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism") TRUTH: Appearing on a speaking panel is not a sign of friendship. There is no evidence that Obama had any role in ever inviting Ayers to speak.

Comment: JGGirl, I'm surprised Hannity has been getting a lot more attention these days than previously. In truth, he's been doing a hatchet job on Obama for over a year now. I think most of his shows are geared toward defaming him, and he even calls his radio show the "Stop Obama Express." But while I think it's absurd this bigot has so much air time with two national TV shows and a national radio show, in a way I'm glad he's gettting more exposure now. I have a feeling the more he's exposed, the more transparent he will be. I've also been hoping for a long time that BO would sue him for defamation. I thought this was a far-fetched idea til I read someone else say that yesterday, so I'm thinking it could be a real possibility. It's time to shut these anti-American bigots (and that's what Hannity, Limbaugh, et al are) down once and for all. They should not be allowed to lie and distort and never suffer for it. Enough is enough, imo.
Name: JGGIRL
Comment: But long before tonight's Hannity, the right-wing has been spreading a series of lies about Obama and Ayers. LIE: "Bill Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist." TRUTH: Bill Ayers is not, and apparently never was, a terrorist. The conventional definition of a terrorist is someone who tries to kill innocent people for political purposes. As Factcheck.org noted, In fact, nobody died as a result of bombings in which Ayers said he participated as part of the Weather Underground. (Factcheck.org) LIE: "I'm sure he's very patriotic, but his relationship with Mr. Ayers is open to question....Because, if you're going to associate and have as a friend and serve on a board and have a guy kick off your campaign that says he's unrepentant, that he wished he'd bombed more. And then, the worst thing of all, that I think really indicates Senator Obama's attitude, is he had the incredible statement that he compared Mr. Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist -- an unrepentant terrorist, with Senator Tom Coburn. Senator Coburn, a physician who goes to Oklahoma on the weekends and brings babies into life.' (John McCain, April 20, 2008, ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos) TRUTH: Obama was not friends with Ayers. Ayers did not kick off Obama's campaign. And Obama was not comparing Ayers' actions with Coburn. Obama was pointing out that he works with people even when he disagrees with them. LIE: "Obama's oldest friend in politics is a murderer and unrepentant terrorist. Why are they friends?"(ExposeObama.com email, Sept. 7, 2008) TRUTH: Ayers isn't Obama's oldest friend in politics. LIE: Ayers was "Obama's boss."(Jerome Corsi, p. 147) TRUTH: The chair of a foundation board is not the boss of the members. LIE: Jerome Corsi claimed Alice "Palmer would never have introduced Obama to the Hyde Park political community at the Ayres-Dohrn home unless she saw an affinity between Ayers and Dohrn's radical leftist history, her own history of far-leftist politics, and the politics of Barack Obama."(p. 137) TRUTH: The event wasn't held primarily for Obama. It was Palmer's own announcement that she would run for Congress. Obama was there as Palmer's endorsed successor for her Senate seat, but there's no evidence that he had any role in deciding to hold it at Ayers' home. >>>>>To read more go to >>>>>>>>> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-k-wilson/30-lies-re futed-about-aye_b_132109.html

Comment: Obama Hatred At McCain-Palin Rallies: "Terrorist!" "Kill Him!" (VIDEO) The Huffington Post | Rachel Weiner | October 6, 2008 04:39 PM ------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------- McCain was speaking today in New Mexico, doing his usual personal attack on Barack Obama, as the stock market plummeted (you can see the ticker next to McCain on the screen, an apt reminder of what McCain and his fellow Republicans represent), and McCain asked the crowd "who is Barack Obama?" Immediately you hear someone yell "terrorist." McCain pauses, the audience laughs, and McCain continues on, not acknowledging, not chastising, not correcting. Oh, but McCain does say in the next sentence that he's upset about all the "angry barrage of insults." Marc Ambinder notes that the shouter advances McCain's Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright attacks, while Jonathan Martin suggested the campaign would need a third party to do it: Judging by McCain's slightly startled reaction, he clearly didn't anticipate that reaction, and McCain's in no way responsible for the utterances of anybody in his audience. But he must have some idea of how deeply this fear/outsider/other meme has spread. A tripartite strategy isn't needed. UPDATE: The Washington Post reports on a similar moment at a Palin rally today: "Now it turns out, one of his earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers," Palin said. "Boooo!" said the crowd. "And, according to the New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, 'launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol,'" she continued. "Boooo!" the crowd repeated. "Kill him!" proposed one man in the audience.

Comment: It seems that most white women, particularly most republican white women don't have an original thought when it comes to politics. Thay tend to follow behind whatever the crowd says or what the conservative blowhard talking heads spout out. Then they go out in public and vomit that same mess almost word for word. Either that, or they blindly follow the same line their idiot husbands have followed. It usually isn't until they get to be 60 or 65 when they realize that their husbands were idiots.

Comment: I am sorry to say that the events that McCrazy and Palin hold seem to me more like Klan meetings. Nothing seems political about it, it seems like a bunch of folks gathered in a backyard to plan to terroize. Listen to how it sounded when McCrazy said "do we know the real OBAMA" the audeience sounds crazy with hatred. No linking OBAMA with terroists is the lowest of Low. Palin as a christain needs to step back and take a look at all the lies she is spreading and ask herself "WHAT WOULD JESUS DO"

Comment: Whenever you hear the words "unrepentent terrorist" just know that phrase comes directly from Sean Hannity. He invented that word and has been using it for this entire campaign. He took words from that interview Ayers did for the NY Times and twisted them into his own reality ("I don't regret setting bombs. We didn't do enough"). Never mind that Ayers actually said "I regret that we didn't do enough to stop the war in Vietnam.") The author of the article took words out of context just like most of them do and Sean ran with it and now the talking heads and idiot followers of the Rethugs have taken the words to mean the gospel. Do you all know that neither Rush Limbaugh nor Sean Hannity have college degrees? Yet people follow their every word as if they are the most knowldegeable people in the world. It astounds me. BTW, Hillary Clinton though Palin did a great job at the Debate.

Comment: That's what happens when you give an airhead the mic! I can't, in my wildest imagination, connect Obama to anyone at 8 years old. Just like the gubment didn't convict or sanction mcshame, they didn't arrest ayers - even though there is more evidence of wrongdoing on mcshames part. Hasselbeck has outlived her usefulness and the 'shrooms she's been consuming have finally burned whats left of that pea brain of hers.

Comment: So now we see exactly what the McCain/Palin plan is for the next 28 days: take the conversation off the Bush/McCain approach to economics (letting business greed run wild, e.g., allowing Wall Street to operate unregulated; large companies merging and remerging to develop monopolies; letting health insurance firms raise premiums every year, but reduce coverage further and further, etc., etc., all of which has resulted in a Dow that is at a lower level now than when Bush first became President eight years ago), and fixate it on Obama's character. "Obama was associated with a 60's radical..." "Barack Hussein Obama had a crazy preacher..." "And he's a...he's a...a n*gger." Seems to be all McCain/Palin have left. So far, Obama is again fighting back at just the right tenor: keep the focus on the collapsing economy, and let surrogates attack McCain directly, e.g., highlighting McCain's association with Keating via a YouTube video currently making the rounds.

Comment: >musb - Everyone said Palin did a good job. BUT you have to remember - and I'm sure you do - that the bar set for her was very low. If you saw SNL the other night, Latifah as Gwen Iffel (sp?) even said in the spoof that if she didn't vomit, run from the stage crying, etc. then she didn't lose the debate. As for Hillary, well, I think we can all agree that she is pretty much setting herself up for the next election. No matter what happens - she is going to challenge whoever for the Dem nomination next election. She is setting herself up for that. Even WHEN Obama wins, she is still planning to challenge him. I know that like I know my name. She is saying that strategically to woo the Palin voters to her side so she has them in 4 years. That's my take on it.
Name: queeniebunz
Comment: >bigchassie - we all understand that. The real issue is that he probably won't make it to 80. He gets all red in the face, he had cancer and he doesn't look to be all that robust despite what he says. The presidency ages anybody. Clinton went in with brown hair w/a little gray and came out completely white, with a wrinkled face. Reagan came out with freakin' alzheimers. Bush Jr only seems to not have aged because of all the d*mned vacation time he took while in office. So I say all of that to say that McCain will probably kick the bucket in office and God forbid, Palin the b*tch in lipstick would be our president. I cringe at the thought.

Comment: "food for thought"-by huey... when bed-rock gets into office, he does his first four years, america likes the job he has done, re-elects him for another four years. he does his four years (in the interim, promotes hillary to supreme court, this is important to my logic, ride with me)..michelle obama decides she wants to run for president (she's qualified, ivy league grad, we all know this, every bit as qualified as hillary who is now a supreme court justice who wont be running)...she runs for potus, wins, (what do u have? enter your first female potus who also happens to be african american)..she does fours years, america likes the job she did, re-elects her, she does four more years, that = 16 years of obama leadership, during her tenure as potus, she promotes an african american to lets say, secretary of state, this african american secretary of state runs for potus, wins, does a good job, america re-elects them to potus, they do another four years...this equals 24 years (nearly 1/4 century of african american leadership in america). isnt it beautiful? and its possible!!! yes, life through huey's rose colored star shaped sunglasses...i luv u c.c. and your vanilla suburbs...

Comment: I'll say this about Hasselbeck - I don't understand her or anyone else like her who actually can fix their mouths to say what she's saying. It's so totally out of my frame of reference that I cannot in any way comprehend how they can defend McCain. I don't understand why they defend someone who has no real plan for being president. I don't understand how they can continue this spin knowing he has no plans and that because he has no plan they will suffer economically. The only issue that McCain beats Obama at is the Iraq war. And I don't even understand that. He's brash and impulsive and really aggressive. He will be worse than Bush because he acts first and then thinks later. There was an article in Newsweek last week that spoke of McCain and his POW experience. It said that he actually was somewhat at fault for getting caught. In other words, he did something while flying that he shouldn't have done and as a result, his plane went down. I say this because he makes bad decisions. That one affected his life for 5 years. This time his bad decisions will affect all of America. That scares me.

Comment: WARREN VALENTINE IS PLAYING THE INFO ON THE "KEATING 5" AND MCSLAIN'S INVOLVEMENT ON IT.
Name: queeniebunz
Comment: This was in Newsweek - "In his most recent book, "Hard Choices," McCain describes how, on his last bombing mission over Hanoi, he heard the warning tone of an enemy SAM missile locking on to his plane. Bravely, or rashly, McCain did not take evasive maneuvers but rather kept on flying straight in an attempt to deliver his bombs on target. The missile blew off his right wing, and he spent the next five years in captivity." The article can be found at http://www.newsweek.com/id/161325 ...if you can't find it that way, it is called "The Vices of their Virtues".

She's a personality/non-issue debater...not a substantive one. Not being a fan, I was just not ready to admit that Hillary is preparing for an '08. I didn't think she would risk her political future on yet another gamble. But..thinking about how absent she's been publicly on the campaign trail...maybe she really is. Either way, Obama will do fine and if she decided to run..she'll be handily defeated. Her argument will have to be that the country needs to move in another direction. That's a hard sell.

Comment: What gets me is they have these Rethug talking points and they repeat them almost verbatim as if people are stupid enough to think they are their own thoughts. Even our boy Joseph Phillips on this site has them down pat - "They have also noticed that Barack Obama has a paper thin resume, distinguished himself in the Illinois state senate by opposing legislation that would protect children born alive following a botched abortion and associated with a man that brags about his hey day as a domestic terrorist. No doubt they have also noticed that for all his pretty talk of change and bi-partisanship as a United States senator, he has never opposed his own party on an issue, never reached across the aisle, and has offered few policy prescriptions that are not right out of the new deal play book." I frankly get tired of hearing the same old spiel.

The more I think about it, the more I'm starting to believe 9/11 was an inside job to give AmeriKKKa an excuse to invade Iraq. There is ABSOLUTELY no way, they can't find somebody in the hills of Afganistan with all the counter intelligence the average person DOESN'T even know about. People are more concerned about the economy and McCain would be more of George Bush and even the rich folks are saying, FOCK THAT. Our medical director of Infectious Diseases here at the University is a die hard Obama supporter. OMG...he has an "Impeach Bush" on his Lexus big as day! LOL

Comment: MsFresno...old boy ain't voting for Obama because he's black. Just like the clip of the AFL-CIO president EURWEB posted yesterday when he described a conversation he had with a family friend from his hometown...that's what it boils down --race. Ain't no way he's a democrat or believes in democratic principles if he can't pull the lever in November 4 for Obama. Some YT folks would rather go to hell in a handbasket with a YT commander-in-chief, who had a hand in the current state of the economy, instead of a black man who is trying to help bring this country back on course. Back to Hasselbeck...it's amazing that she is so blindsided by Republican ideology that she refuses to think before she commits her mouth to making these statements. As Whoopi said to her -- if she's going to indict Obama for a superficial association with Ayers then she's indicting his current students, their parents and the faculty of the University of Illinois at Chicago and labeling them as terrorist sympathizers as well. No one is responsible for what their friends do and the beliefs they hold. Her twisted logic in holding Obama accountable for things his 'supposed' friends did/do and NOT McCain/Palin is another example of this woman's blind allegiance to all things Republican. I heard she may get her own show on FOX News, so maybe someone is paying her to make these comments to drum up some notoriety for her and the show.

Comment: Every time she speaks about Obama you'd think she knows him personally and he did her wrong...IMO it absolutely sounds like she can't stand his guts! Why in the world does she expect Obama to take responsibility for something someone did when he was EIGHT...but on the other hand she clearly wants to dismiss the shady dealings McCain himself was involved in??? This trick talks out both sides of her face every chance she gets. She is so closed minded, she won't even except or acknowledge the facts. She finds one negative comment and holds on to it for dear life. I wish Joy was on the set that day, I have a feeling she would have smacked Elisabeth upside her head for her dumb remarks.

Comment: “Since Sunday, Democrats have been buzzing about the re-revelation that during the 1980s, Sen. John McCain served on the board of a far-right conservative organization that had supplied arms and funds to paramilitary organizations in Latin America….But McCain's involvement in the U.S. Council for World Freedom, which extended from 1981 through, possibly, 1986 is significant -- not merely because it ties him to unsavory characters but because it firmly associates him with a foreign policy that was, at the time and still, controversial. …Often the people were tied to the military and they saw the world in black and white terms... My impression is [McCain] still sees the world in back and white." …. The group was, from the onset, saddled with the disreputable reputation of its parent group. The WACL had ties to ultra-right figures and Latin American death squads. Roger Pearson, the chairman of the WACL, was expelled from the group in 1980 under allegations that he was a member of a neo-Nazi organization…. But McCain's association with a group that reportedly circumvented law, financed right-wing military institutions, and engaged in sometimes brutal anti-communist tactics, could be telling for some voters. At the very least his time on the board of the U.S. Council of World Freedom provides a window of sorts into the foreign policy vision that he held back in the 1980s and one that he still seemingly holds today.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/06/why-mccains-t ime-with-cou_n_132470.html

Comment: FYI: Friday , October 03, 2008. Elisabeth Hasselbeck is not leaving "The View" despite the rumors, her agent said in a statement released Thursday afternoon. "Elisabeth is passionate in her beliefs and enjoys being a part of this dynamic group of women and engaging in daily conversations," her agent, Babette Perry, said. Karl Nilsson, executive publicity director for "The View," added: "Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie, executive producers of 'The View,' consider Elisabeth to be vital to the program." Earlier this week, a longtime staff member of the show reportedly told the Chicago Sun-Times that Hasselbeck is ''really upset'' with her "View" co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar about the presidential election. ''It's not as bad as during the Rosie [O'Donnell] era,'' the source added, but said it's bad enough that ''View'' creator Barbara Walters has called a ''cooling off'' meeting between the conservative Hasselbeck and the more liberal Goldberg and Behar. In July, Hasselbeck was in tears after a discussion about the use of the n-word, in which Goldberg told her the two "don't live in the same world."

Comment: >HarrisThomas - Ifill played herself when she didn't step down. She should've stepped down. She couldn't go after Palin without appearing biased. A judge will step down in court over the APPEARANCE of impartiality even if it's not really the case. It's the appearance of bias that matters in situations like this. It is only my opinion but she should've stepped down. I thought about it and I think she should've because she wasn't able to really do her job. She HAD to let stuff go when Palin refused to answer because she is publishing that book. I understand that the book was not a secret but for the sake of the debate, she should've stepped down and let someone else do it so he/she could do a more thorough job of forcing both candidates to answer the questions more completely.

Comment: Let's not forget tonight's debate, the second of three, all of which are critical. The concensus of the last debate was that Obama pulled out a marginal win, even though the topic of foreign affairs was supposedly a McCain strong point. And frankly I think it was in that debate that many Obama skeptics (white folk) first saw him as someone with the stature to be a president, and it solidified his numbers. As far as tonight's debate goes, pundits are saying that the town hall format is a McCain strength, so hopefully Obama can outdo him again. But any slip up by Barack will be magnified, so while his overall support is stronger, any little misstep can cause rapid deteriation to the outer fringes of that support. In short, Barack has got to be on his game tonight.

Comment: >Taurusingr - 2 things - 1) If Ifill had stepped down, someone else would've been able to go at Palin but it was Ifill's decision to do the debate knowing she couldn't be as effective given her book. It was a difficult choice. Had she stepped down, it would've looked like somewhat of a victory for the Republicans and their bullying and spinning of a situation. In that sense, I understand her not stepping down. BUT she had a choice and ultimately, I think she made the wrong one. But it was her choice. There really is no conspiracy to that. Her book was no secret. She chose to do the debate knowing she was being attacked = no conspiracy, just a bad decision that negatively affected the outcome of the debate. 2) Regarding the sub par black programs, I look at it like this. If black actors didn't sell their souls to the all mighty buck, those shows couldn't get made. The argument of "better something than nothing doesn't hold water for me. It's about having integrity. The same thing holds true for women feeling forced to do nude scenes they may not want to do. The problem lies in the fact that if Joe Blackman refuses the part, Tom Sellout will take it. Just like Tina No-nuditu refusing a part w/nudity. Jane Get-nekked will come right on in and take off her clothes. If people stood up and didn't sell their souls to the devil for money. I understand the whole starving artist thing but at some point people need to stand up and say 'enough' to foolishness. The same could be said for the whole rap movement and how people say the market is manipulated by white people who correctly think that spitting rhymes about misogyny, curse words and violence over music is rap and will sell. If black artists would stand up and say, "enough" and not let themselves be manipulated, none of these things would happen. But black actors don't. Women in Hollywood don't. And aspiring rappers don't. That is not a conspiracy. That is people selling themselves out for money. Nobody can make anybody act in a bad show, take off their clothes for a role or create a bad rap song. It's all choice.

Comment: Tonight’s debate will be very interesting, because the Dow is already down another 500 points. So how will McCain pull it off, i.e. continue to distract attention from the economy with personal attacks on Obama? This I got to see. But be careful what you ask for, because it’s moderated by Brokaw, a suspected McCain hack. And that town hall format? Hmmm… Could Obama be in for another Gibson/Stephanopoulos beat down?
Name: queeniebunz
Comment: >Reds - I think he'll be prepared. One thing I like about Obama is that he learns from his mistakes/experiences. Just as Biden did in his debate, Obama will take his criticism and make the changes. They're from the same camp and have the same advisors telling them what they did wrong and how to make the changes to be successful. I am not worried. Obama has been called cold and aloof. I'm sure he's been coached to be more personable. He has a great sense of humor and he chooses his words carefully so I think he'll be fine. Funny thing about McCain - I saw a clip of him in a town hall meeting and he actually called an audience member a jerk when the guy asked him if he thought he was too old and would die in office. Granted the comment was smart-azzed and stupid but he should've handled it with the grace to laugh and say something like, "I'm sure I'll be fine. Cindy takes good care of me" or something like that. Instead he called dude a jerk. If people can rile up McCain like that, Obama will be fine.

Comment: QB...thanks for posting the link. I'll check it out. Regarding Ifill stepping down, I disagree with you on that. There was no need for her to step down. As you stated, her book that includes a chapter on Obama was announced back in July. Both camps had to agree to the moderators prior to the debates, so this whole mess was trivial at best. A week or so before the debate, McCain initially said he didn't think Ifill would be biased toward Obama/Biden and believed Ifill would moderate the debate like the professional she is. Then a day or two before the debate, he flip flops and questions her objectivity. Toward the beginning of the VP debate, Gwen got on both candidates by telling them that neither specifically addressed a question she asked. I would have liked if she followed up with both candidates on questions they evaded or half-way addressed through sound bites, moreso Palin who went off topic and talked about whatever she wanted. But, other than something of that nature, there is nothing a moderator, Gwen or anyone else, can do without appearing to badger and harass a debater after they announce they aren't going to answer questions. Now your answer to Taurusinger regarding Hollywood was on point -- ITA!

Comment: ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A legislative committee investigating Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has found she unlawfully abused her authority in firing the state's public safety commissioner. The investigative report concludes that a family grudge wasn't the sole reason for firing Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan but says it likely was a contributing factor. The Republican vice presidential nominee has been accused of firing a commissioner to settle a family dispute. Palin supporters have called the investigation politically motivated. Monegan says he was dismissed as retribution for resisting pressure to fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce with the governor's sister. Palin says Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below. ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaska lawmakers have emerged from a private session in Anchorage where they spent more than six hours discussing a politically charged ethics report into Gov. Sarah Palin's firing of her state public safety commissioner. The legislative panel began its public session by discussing whether to release the report's findings. The investigation was examining whether Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, fired a state commissioner to settle a family dispute. The report was also expected to touch on whether Palin's husband meddled in state affairs and whether her administration inappropriately accessed employee medical records. Critics claim Palin fired Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan after months of pressure on him to fire Mike Wooten, a state trooper involved in a nasty divorce and custody dispute with the governor's sister. Lawmakers indicated they planned to release the report even though there was disagreement about its findings. "I think there are some problems in this report," Republican state Sen. Gary Stevens. "I would encourage people to be very cautious, to look at this with a jaundiced eye."
