Viagra Over Birth Control?
Published 7/17/2008 at The Zaz
When asked by a reporter why he voted to support insurance companies to cover Viagra and not birth control medication, McCain shoots blanks. This is some of the worst question dodging that I’ve ever seen here. How can an elected official with his years of experience swing and miss this badly? This is an entry level political dodge job - hell I could have done better avoiding this question. “Insurance companies have long had their hands in our politicians pockets, and our health care system is in shambles….blah blah”. You get the point. Anything but “I don’t wanna talk about this. Uhhhh.”. This is comedy, so take a look and see if his head explodes: ...

McCain, Viagra, and Birth Control

This is old news by now, but I still think it's a pretty remarkable bit of video, especially because it shows John McCain squirming (check out what he does at 0:52, it's hilarious and tragic) in a way that none of the other major political figures out there would do - Obama and Hillary Clinton have been preternaturally composed in the last few months, tears aside, while Mitt Romney and Bush typically maintain a stubborn lunkheadedness in the face of conflicting ideas in their minds. Really, what this does is make me feel sorry for John McCain - I think he's a genuinely good guy who just happens to be on the wrong side of most of the issues out ...

One freaking dollar??

Damn, Obama's kind of a cheapass! Barack and his wife gave an interview to PEOPLE where they talk about their family and life at home with their two daughters, 10-year old Malia and Sasha, 7. In the interview, Barack reveals that Malia's allowance is only $1.00 a week. And he's past due on payments! Here's the excerpt: Do you give your girls an allowance? Michelle: Sorta, kinda. [Laughs] Barack: I'm out of town all the time, so Malia will say, "Hey, you owe me 10 weeks!" ... Originally, we were ...

Logan Nakyanzi Pollard: Those McCain Houses... Why They Don't Matter
Published 8/23/2008 by Logan Nakyanzi Pollard at Huffington Post Entertainment Blog
The problem with John McCain and his houses is not that he has them or doesn't know how many he has. It's that most Americans aspire to be so lucky, to have his wealth. So to belabor the point that McCain doesn't know how many houses he has - while it's witty and cute for the moment - shows a misunderstanding of 'the psychology' of how many Americans think. Americans want to be rich, they want to be so fortunate that they don't know how many houses they have. A good example of the gap between how Democrats think and the reality of our culture is this exchange from "The Larry King Live" show, ...

On Board the No-Comment Express

On insurance coverage of Viagra (covered) vs. birth control (not), McCain: "I certainly do not want to discuss that issue." Love the body language; it's like his hands are trying to swallow his face. His hands are smarter than he is.
