McCain to Rectify Letterman Rejection
In what was a costly PR error in someone’s strategy judgment John McCain ditched the David Letterman show last minute a few weeks ago claiming that he was on his way to sort out the country’s financial crisis.  This advice had to have come from a rookie strategist because anyone with any sense would know the outcome given that David Letterman is a very sharp comedian who isn’t that fond of the Republican party, especially its current President, as it is.  Surely someone in the McCain camp has been w

+ Young Jeezy isn’t exactly a glass-is-half-full kinda guy, (in case you couldn’t tell from his album title, The Recession).

Weekend in Review: Another Stimulus, McCain's Tone, the 'Lauder Clause'

Tina Fey On Sarah Palin: "If She Wins...I'm Leaving Earth"
Tina Fey told TVGuide she'll be "done" if John McCain and Sarah Palin win the election next month. The "SNL" veteran who has come back to play the Republican Vice Presidential candidate (and whose own show, "30 Rock," is still nowhere to be seen), said, "We're gonna take it week by week. If she wins, I'm done. I can't do that for four years. And by 'I'm done,' I mean I'm leaving Earth." Fey also said it's a busy but exciting time for "SNL." "Election time is always good for [SNL] and this is a bonkers el

YOUNG JEEZY GETTING POLITICAL…AGAIN…
There’s less than a month until Election Day, and Young Jeezy is still putting the word out for everyone to get to the polls this year.

But if something happens

Obama Noose Poster New Low In Citizen Propaganda [The Internet]
Those people making Barack Obama monkeys and booing John McCain for saying Obama is a person "you do not have to be scared of?" Some of them have blogs! Which means they are free to put all sorts of terrible things on the Web, like the virtual poster at left, the one with Obama, a noose, and the headline, "Asphyxiation/The Fucking Solution." The gent who made that lovely thing, and posted it to his website Sunday night, said he did so in retaliation for comparably nasty images of Sarah Palin (also at left),

McCain’s Tour of Contrition
As John McCain trails Obama in the polls, he’s crawling back to David Letterman to apologize for standing him up to go save the world do an interview with Katie Couric. As you’ll recall, Letterman tore him a new asshole on national television for that little stunt. McCain is scheduled to appear on the program on Thursday. Should be interesting.

John McCain’s Awesome Do-Over Speech
Walnuts is re-launching his campaign for the millionth time, hurrah! Today he unveils a new speech, full of humor and zest and “my friends” and transparent falsehoods like, “we’ve got them just where we want them,” because yes, six months ago if you had asked John McCain where he wanted to be 21 days from the election, he would have said, “Down 10 points nationally and fighting to keep Virginia and North Carolina in the red column.” A tantalizing sample of John McC

"Oh My God, I'm Watching Too Much News"
These days you may feel like Yana Collins Lehman. The Brooklyn film production accountant and mother of 5-year-old Beckett was surprised when one day Beckett said to no one in particular, "I'm John McCain, and I approved this statement." And this is New York, where there's scant political advertising compared to states like Ohio, Florida and Wisconsin. Collins Lehman was one of several news junkies featured this weekend in a New York Times Sunday Styles story by Alex Williams. Collins Lehman is watching

BREAKING: SARAH PALIN TO STOP LYING WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER, MAYBE
So here’s the thing: we have the Branchflower report.  The whole world has the Branchflower report.  The findings are spelled out as clear as can be.   How then does Gov.

Letterman/McCain Smackdown is ON, Definitely Maybe
Riff is going to the dance to make nice with Bernardo, so this Thursday America will be able to witness the ultimate mambo as John McCain makes his long-awaited appearance (probably) on The Late Show with David Letterman. Unless he backs out again, of course. The question is: Will Letterman take the Bill O'Reilly route and go all soft and sweet once he has his opponent in the chair? Or will he continue to berate McCain and hope the audience he's already lost during the debacle is less than the n
