In an interview with Larry King, Chris Rock said:”It’s simple, vote for the guy with one house.” I really want to see his HBO special, “Kill the Messenger,” tomorrow.

McCain decided to go to the debate. Damn, I have to go see Kevin Mahogany tonight. I’ll have to watch in online then.

McCain already ran the “McCain Wins Debate!” ad even though the debate hasn’t started yet. What an egoistic freak.

From Big Eddie:

Capitol Hill sources are telling me that senior McCain people
are more than concerned about Palin. The campaign has held
a mock debate and a mock press conference; both are being described as “disastrous.” One senior McCain aide was quoted as saying, “What are we going to do?” The McCain people want to move this first debate to some later, undetermined date, possibly never. People on the inside are saying the Alaska Governor is “clueless.”

The McCain campaign is fucked and they know it.

Good point, HmL and I like your formal boss’s comment: “McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory.” Being an opportunist he is, who knows if McCain is going to throw Palin off the bus once she is no good anymore, which is pretty soon, and bring someone else on board. He has been doing the unthinkable day by day.

The sky was rainy and gloomy and the traffic was jammed so we turned around to Ted’s Montana Grill for dinner. I had the burger and the beer deal and Dana had the sliders. The bison was not bad, but we didn’t like the kaiser bun. It was too soft and pasty. We split the burger and the sliders, but I ended up with three sliders and she had one. The sliders weren’t as tasty as Tonic‘s. We should have waited patiently through the traffic and went to Five Guys instead. At least we tried and I won’t want another burger for at least a month.

AP:

A West Virginia man who police said passed gas and fanned it toward a patrolman has been charged with battery on a police officer.

Oh man, that is so funny (Thanks Pho Lover).

Palin once again amazes me with her foreign policy credentials. If Putin strikes us, Alaska will keep on eye on him.

David Letterman busted McCain’s lie right on TV.

Josh Marshall:

He can’t debate Barack Obama because he’s got to go to Washington and save the economy? It’s like the biggest ‘dog at my homework’ in history.

McCain is trying to postpone Palin’s debate by delaying his debate to take over her spot. He knows damn well Palin is an idiot. The CBS interview is a proof.

McCain seeks to delay Friday’s debate using the economic crisis as an excuse. Obama doesn’t back down and the University of Mississippi wants to go forward. If McCain wants to “solve” the economic crisis, let him do it. Meanwhile, let Palin substitutes him.
