Danny Yankee supports McCain
John McCain has received an odd endorsement from reggaeton superstar Daddy Yankee. While the music world's trendsetters and heavyweights offer their support to the Republican's opponent, Barack Obama, the Puerto Rican hitmaker is urging his fans to back McCain.

Joe Biden Says “”Again And Again… John McCain Was Wrong. And Barack Obama Was Right”
Beau, I love you. I am so proud of you. Proud of the son you are. Proud of the father you’ve become. And I’m so proud of my son Hunter, my daughter Ashley, and my wife Jill, the only one who leaves me breathless and speechless at the same time. It is an honor to share this stage tonight with President Clinton. And last night, it was moving to watch Hillary, one of the great leaders of our party, a woman who has made history and will continue to make history: my colleague and my friend, Senator

CINDY MCCAIN’S FAMILY: I Would Rather Not Vote Than Vote For John McCain
Political ideas don’t always run in the family. Cindy McCain’s half sister, Kathleen Hensley Portalski, is planning on voting for Barack Obama, she tells Usmagazine.com. “I’m not voting for McCain. I have a different political standpoint. I’m voting for Obama,” she says. “I think his proposals to improve the country are more positive and I’m not a big war believer.” Cindy has previously described herself as an only child. “She’s kinda cool,

President Clinton, Vice-Presidential Nominee Joe Biden Help Heal Raw Wounds At DNC
DENVER — If there was a theme to the two major addresses on the third night of the Democratic National Convention, it was the difference between making the right choices for America and the wrong ones. On the eve of a history-making day, during which Democratic Senator Barack Obama became the first black major-party candidate for president, those choices were not just the decisions that vice-presidential nominee Senator Joseph Biden said were flawed ones made by rival presidential aspirant Republican

HILLARY CLINTON’S DNC SPEECH: How Do You Think She Did?
Critics seem to think that Hillary hit it out of the ballpark last night. Did you watch and do you agree? My favorite line was when she dubbed Michelle Obama a member of the “sisterhood of the traveling pantsuits.” Did you have a favorite?

John McCain Congratulates Barack Obama on "Job Well Done"
"Too often the achievements of our opponents go unnoticed. So I wanted to stop and say, congratulations," the Republican presidential hopeful says in a new ad released hours before Obama delivers his acceptance speech in Denver. McCain also noted that Obama's speech coincides with the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. "How perfect that your nomination would come on this historic day," McCains says (Watch above). "Tomorrow, we'll be back at it. But tonight Senator, job w

John McCain Congratulates Barack Obama on Making History
“Senator Obama, this is truly a good day for America. Too often the achievements of our opponents go unnoticed. So I wanted to stop and say, congratulations.

Radiohead to Hand Election to McCain
In an apparent show of solidarity with John McCain, Sheryl Crow, and the GOP, uppity British space-rock combo Radiohead have just announced on their blog plans to Webcast their concert in Santa Barbara tonight. The last show on their North American tour begins this evening at 10 p.m. EDT, and will likely distract millions of young, progressive voters from Barack Obama's acceptance speech for the Democratic presidential nomination, scheduled for the exact same time, thereby clinching a Republican victory thi

OBAMA CAMPAIGN TO MCCAIN: Tonight is Barack’s Night!
“Tonight would be political malpractice,” Obama communications chief Dan Pfeiffer told Politico.   “It’s one more piece of evidence that the McCain campaign is a war room masquerading as a presidential campaign.” How did this rumor get started? Matt Drudge is teasing a potential 6 PM leak of McCain’s choice on the top of his web page! Share: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.

Biden Unveils First Insane Statement As Running Mate [Gaffes]
newVideoPlayer("/biden_whoops_gawker.flv", 506, 423,""); We told you Joe Biden was going to say something inappropriate and crazy sooner or later, and he has proven us correct, spectacularly, very quickly. In his Democratic Convention address tonight, Biden almost referred to John McCain as "George W. Bush." before catching himself halfway. Not that the two men aren't politically similar, but there's not much point in taking potshots at the one who isn't running for anything. But here's what we didn't anti

Obama Picks a Running Mate
Obama will be running with Delaware Senator Joe Biden, in order to add the whole “old white dude” touch to his campaign. In light of Obama’s choice, John McCain has chosen P. Diddy as his running mate. I’m totally kidding. But how awesome would that shit be?

Obama names Joe Biden as Presidential running mate
Barack Obama picked Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden as his running mate, choosing a long-time Washington insider who could balance his thin resume on foreign policy over younger politicians who could have amplified the Democratic presidential candidate's message of change. The campaign made a formal announcement about 3 a.m., with a text message to supporters saying "Barack has chosen Senator Joe Biden to be our VP nominee" and inviting them to watch a webstream video of their first rally together Saturday af

The Week That Killed Sex [Week In Review]
Mrs. Robert Zemeckis wrote a terrible book, with terrible sex. Michael Phelps had sex with everyone in China, which is terrible. Rielle Hunter has a terrible baby! John McCain was tortured by gay sadists! Oh, and ugh, someone is maybe a sadistic gay rapist. Don't break up with Andres Martinez! And then, finally, the Mrs. Jared Paul Stern sex tape. See? No more sex for anyone, ever. It's gross. Oh, other stuff happened too! An intern shit the bed, so to speak. Where "bed" means "work." But, you know, tip of

Ed McMahon finds home buyer, avoids foreclosure
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Television celebrity Ed McMahon has finally found a buyer for his multimillion-dollar Beverly Hills mansion, avoiding a foreclosure that would have made him among the most high-profile victims of the U.S. housing slump. The buyer of the six-bedroom, five-bathroom home was not disclosed, but McMahon spokesman Howard Bragman said on Friday it was not billionaire Donald Trump. The New York developer had said last week he was in discussions to buy the house and lease it back to M

Madonna courts controversy again over McCain video
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Madonna has always reveled in controversy and with the recent launch of her concert tour, "Sticky & Sweet," the 50-year-old pop star has kicked up a new fuss by comparing John McCain to Adolf Hitler in a video. The dust-up is the latest in a career of risky moves that have paid off handsomely for Madonna, whose tours and albums have long mixed music with politics, sex and religion. While other stars rose to fame in the 1980s then faded away, "Material Girl" Madonna has be

Superdelegate Shocker: Jon Cryer Sighted at McCain Fundraiser! [Defamer Decides 2008]
As the man who brought us Pretty in Pink's Duckie, you might expect Jon Cryer to have a special affinity for those born on the wrong side of the tracks: the poor, the outcast, even the sexually ambiguous. However, it's apparently his role in Hot Shots! that Cryer identifies with most, because he turned up this week at a fundraiser for another easily downed Naval pilot: presidential candidate John McCain. In fact, according to Fox News, McCain met on Monday with a veritable Who's Who (no, seriously: who?) of

Death Cab at the DNC: John McCain Scares Chris Walla to Death
I think John McCain is losing his marbles and that he can’t be trusted. I think that his hotheaded, impulsive mentality makes him an incredibly dangerous candidate for the office of President. There, I said it. He has given to our country selflessly in uniform, risked his life for our freedoms and committed himself to a life of public service. And it’s time for him to fucking retire. Seriously. Like, I’ll totally buy the mai tais or piña coladas or whatever the fuck you want to drink, S

"The Candidate Of Change Went With The Status Quo"
What They're Saying About Obama-Biden: The Associated Press's Ron Fournier: "The Candidate Of Change Went With The Status Quo." "The candidate of change went with the status quo. ... He picked a 35-year veteran of the Senate -- the ultimate insider -- rather than a candidate from outside Washington..." (Ron Fournier, "Analysis: Biden Pick Shows Lack Of Confidence," The Associated Press, 8/23/08) Fournier: "[B]iden is anything but a change agent, having been in office longer than half of all Americans have b

Rosanne Cash Issues Statement on Use of Johnny Cash's Name
On Aug. 1, 2008, country artist John Rich, was quoted at a rally for John McCain as saying, "I'm sure Johnny Cash would have been a John McCain supporter if he was still around." The quote ran on CMT.com. Since then, Johnny Cash's daughter Rosanne Cash sent CMT.com the following statement: "It is appalling to me that people still want to invoke my father's name, five years after his death, to ascribe beliefs, ideals, values and loyalties to him that cannot possibly be determined and to try to further the

Clinton: "No Way, No How, No McCain" [Catchphrases]
newVideoPlayer("/clinton_dnc_gawker.flv", 506, 423,""); The image associated with this post is best viewed using a browser.Every convention needs a good catchphrase! Bill Clinton had "A place called Hope" in 1992. Michael Dukakis floated on the wings of Ann Richards' "Poor George" speech in 1988. And John Kerry to this day wakes up every morning in a cold sweat, screaming "Help is on the way!" Come to think of it, maybe memorable catchphrases aren't all that predictive of success. But this year's Democrati
