Huffington Hates On Mac

We love on Huffington.

I've appropriated several stories on the McCain-Palin Tradition from The Huffington Post:

Menachem Rosensaft details the difference between Obama's pals and McCain's.

So Obama surrounds himself with senators, billionaires, and the former Secretary of the State. While McCain rubs elbows with bank de-regulators and lobbyists. A bunch of lobbyists. And don't forget about G. Gordon Liddy, Sarah Palin, and...uh, fuck, what was his name? Oh yeah! Current President, movie star and Chief White House Stand-up Comedian George W"hoops" Bush. Plus, there's this douche:



Who dat? Oh, that's just Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager. And apparently, he doesn't think too much of Colin Powell's judgment.

Now, to be fair, he did say about former Secretary of the State: "He is a great American and served this country with great distinction. What his views are on the political scene are completely up to him." But to also be fair, he said this too: Look, I doubt if Colin Powell is equipped to do a whole lot of political prognostication."

Parents upset their kids are being McCain Rolled.

Rick Astley hasn't been funny since before some guy took a break from WoW and decided to invent Rick Rolling. But Robo-McCains leaving illicit messages about terrorists from 40 years ago in a desperate plea to prevent himself from losing by as big of a landslide as he is going to lose by is still funny.

Palin tells The Brody File she suffers from acute hearing loss.

Palin doesn't remember hearing anti-Obama remarks at rallies? I guess this was Tina Fey at the podium then:



Help me scour the net for the few shards of decent journalism remaining. Post your favorite McCain-Palin Tradition stories. Together, we can bring up the news-media's hit count.

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.
