This Week In Politics

The biggest news is of course the release of the new smash hit: "McCain-Palin Tradition" by Hank Williams, Jr., the least-liked of the line.

Here's the Coffee Shop Cowboy himself performing the song at a Palin rally:



Check the info on the side to get a run down on the lyrics. What's great about Junior as a song writer, is his ability to really nail down the sentiments of the people through poetic and complex language.

"The bankers didn't want to make all those bad loans, Bill Clinton said 'you got to!' Now they wanna bail out; what I'm talking about is a democrat liberal hoodoo! To me and you."

Who could forget that famous speech Clinton gave mandating all bankers to practice deceptive practices and predatory loaning once he was out of office and Bush was in charge that way the Republicans would get all the blame. Genius.

Now certainly having Hank's support far outshines Obama getting support from Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Vampire Weekend, Bruce Springsteen, The Arcade Fire, Beastie Boys, Jack Johnson, Santogold, and every other band that's ever been formed, but whatever happened to good ol' Toby Keith?



Face it McCain, you were better off when you were using Foo Fighters songs without permission (one more thing he's emulating Bush on).


In presidential candidates linked to radicals news, Sarah Palin being investigated my several organizations regarding her former (and current) ties to secessionist group AIP:

Yo.

Now, commenting on Palin's negative associations is somewhat pointless to me given the slew of other reasons she should not be in any political office, but fair is fair. If you're gonna spew lies about Obama's links to former radicals, then we might as well show the truth about your links to current radicals. Plus, The Weather Underground was way cooler than the AIP.


On the economic front, Obama and McCain both outline their most recent policies:

Obama

McCain

Pick your favorite.

And finally, John McCain loses it at the final presidential debate.
