CLOWN CAR DELIVERS

60 MINUTES - PAY ATTENTION THIS TIME

Pelley: You and Senator Obama propose cutting taxes in different ways. But in the last few days the federal deficit broke all records.

McCain: Yes.

Pelley: It's now $400 billion that the federal government is in the red. Is it smart to cut taxes for anyone in this economic emergency with that kind of a deficit?

McCain: Well, number one, Scott, the worst thing you could do is raise taxes on anybody. And I don't know which iteration we are talking about of Senator Obama's. He's had four or five different positions on which taxes he would increase, which ones he wouldn't. I think the major point here is that spending got out of control. How many Americans know that the size of government increased by 40 percent in the last seven years? We Republicans for six of the eight years presided over the greatest increase in government since the Great Society. Republicans came to power to change Washington. And Washington changed us.

Pelley: But how do you cut the budget?

McCain: Oh, easy. Look

Pelley: That much.

McCain: Look, if you were able to increase the budget and the size of government by 40 percent, don't you think you could cut some of it?

Pelley: What are you gonna cut?

McCain: I think we'll frankly, you can eliminate so many agencies of government that are outmoded. Obviously I would scrub defense spending. Obviously we would look at every institution of government. I would stop these protectionist tariffs. I would stop subsidizing sugar.

Pelley: Did I just hear you say you’re gonna cut the defense budget?

McCain: I think there's areas in defense where we can save a lot of money in cost over runs.

PALIN PREGNANCY PICTURES

I guess some women just learn how to be pregnant and not look it as they get older. Sarah is quite the mother. I heard her water broke while in a conference with Rick Perry then gave a speech and flew to Anchorage to have her baby because “You can’t have a fish picker from Texas”.

Who would let a woman who's in labor on a 8+ hour flight?
Why does Sarah Palin hate Texas so much that she can't have her baby in a city with more prenatal and downs syndrome centers than all of Alaska?

UPDATE:

Today on Daily KOS, The-Red-Pen attempted to beat down and debunk the Palin birth rumors. Although the post looks convincing, I'm still skeptical. Here is why:

1) Consider The-Red-Pen's other posts, he even pushed the "Michelle Tape/No Quarter Tape Rumor".
2) The picture was uploaded AFTER the rumor broke onto the national blog scene on Aug 31, 2008.
3) The battery was recently replaced on the FujiFilm FinePix S9000 camera that took the picture so the actual date is unknown although it is supposed to be March 13th, 2008, the last Legislative day of the year but is time stamped 2005.
4) The DKOS picture (linked but not shown) shows a CBS reporter interviewing Sarah but there are no articles of it if you search Google for "CBS news Juneau Alaska March 13 2008". There is just not enough going on in Juneau for it to not be in the news if it actually happened.
5) The new picture is supposed to be eight days after the picture above. How did she get that much bigger in eight days? I call bull shit!

I just can't give any Republican the benefit of the doubt. They have proved they are better at cover ups than telling the truth.

Update II:

ABC NEWS now reporting that Bristol is pregnant and unmarried. Clearly, she's been involved in premarital sex and doesn't believe in family planning.

LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!

DID EDWARDS GET THE HOPE VIRUS?

WHERE'S MY SHOES?

Like the day after the infamous Woodstock concert, I'm wondering how many want to know what happened last night? Was it the Bradley effect? Apparently the polls were spot on everywhere but on HRC's numbers. That combined with the fact that she only won in counties using Diebold machines instead of hand counts is making people wonder.

IOWA CUTS THE CAUCUS TONIGHT

Have you made up your mind? I know I'm voting Dodd if I can. Wapo has a nice piece out to help you decide. The Times does too. My guess is that one of the two on the board will be crowned. But which? Tune in at 7pm Eastern here.

RUDOLPH GIULIANI - THE HIT MAN REINDEER

BREAKING: Air America is about to be or has been sold to Stephen Green. Mr. Green manages a $12b Realestate Market fund. This confirmed by Sam Seder 1/29/2007 at 11:52am. Annoncement to post at HuffingtonPost shortly. This should get Air America out of Chapter 11.

I guess the mean little man in the pink dress believes our President is going to be assassinated, and is fearing for Bush's unpopular position. Cliff's got the good's.

Basically, Giuliani says Bush is like Lincoln. He feels the unpopular war has ruined Bush's presidency.

Now as we all know, Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth over the bitterness of the day. John wrote "This country was formed for the white not for the black man."  John couldn't stand that Lincoln was backing the abolitionists in an effort to keep the country from disintegrating. So John, who was believed to be a spy from the south, shot the President!  Here's a picture of John for ya, - he's the guy in the dress on the left pretending to be Marc Anthony.  John was in the theatre.  Nice legs sunshine...

How is Bush like Lincoln again? Just cause he's unpopular?  I think George Bush is more like John Wilkes Booth than Lincoln.  Both are southern, neither seems to like black people, both pretend they are like emperors, both wear dress', here Bush in his dress:

And both kill people. 
Finally, neither John nor Bush are popular figures in history.

Making comparisons like Rudolph's is just plain irresponsible. What else would one expect thou?  Giuliani was the guy who "fled" to the World Trade Center 7 building and assumed emergency control of the city after New York was attacked.  Consider what happened to that building - and it wasn't even hit by a plane!  Coincidence?  I'm starting to wonder.

Rudolph Giuliani is the hit man of reindeer it seems. He's bad luck. Don't let him kiss you.
