Heart Pissed at RNC For Using ‘Barracuda’
Female rock group Heart is pissed off about the Republicans using their song “Barracuda” last night as Sarah ‘Barracuda’ Palin and her family joined Republican presidential nominee John McCain on stage after his acceptance speech. Nancy Wilson, of Heart, had this to say in response to their song being used by the elephants last night: “I feel completely f—ed over.” She and sister Ann Wilson then e-mailed the following exclusive statement: “Sarah Palin’

Hello??? Is this mic on???!! duh!
Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan and former John McCain adviser, Time columnist, and MSNBC contributor Mike Murphy were caught on tape disparaging John McCain’s selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate. “It’s over,” Noonan said. When Chuck Todd asked her if this was the most qualified woman the Republicans could nominate, Noonan responded, “The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse

McCain, Obama, job-losses: 'Tough times'
"These are tough times... tough times,'' Republican John McCain said on the campaign trail in Wisconsin today, relaunching his bid for the White House with Sarah Palin by his side. Democrat Barack Obama, waging his own campaign for the White House, maintained today that McCain is insensitive to the current turmoil of the American economy. "I don't think this is because John McCain is a bad person,'' Obama told his campaign audience today. "I just think he doesn't get it.' Not only getting it, but also

Monkey Menace Panders to McCain/Palin Crowd [FNFF]
The damned moneys. Despite the warnings, the hundreds and hundreds of warnings, everyone insists on treating these near-human masterminds of evil as being just like us! After all, they can handle firearms, but they are also breeding with our innocent pigs. Now that John McCain and scandal-bot Sarah Palin are wooing the family values crowd—while forcing that crowd to disown everything they every said—the monkeys have found a way into the heart of the Christian Right. The little wicked creatures are MARRY

‘Thrown Away Flags’ Story False, Dem Convention Official Says
Days before September 11, on the same morning that John McCain and Barack Obama released a joint statement pledging to avoid politics in light of the anniversary of the terrorist attacks, McCain’s campaign accused Democrats of throwing away 12,000 American flags. "The campaign says the flags were recovered from Invesco Field after the Democrats concluded their convention there," Fox News reported, "and they are going to be used as part of the warm-up ceremonies before McCain takes the stage" for a

No Title
GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. PAUL: “The Republican convention was a neat, quaint operation. Nobody expected anything flashy or fun or interesting, and nobody expected any answer to America’s economic and military collapse beyond an oft-told 40-year-old shaggy dog tale of an old man who crashed a plane into the village he was bombing, back when he was young, and his brave story of personal redemption as his father continued mercilessly killing the Vietnamese children for another five-and-a-half years.

John McCain: Democrats in Cabinet
And McCain, who courted the idea of tapping a former Democrat for his running mate, friend Joe Lieberman, says he can promise that, as president, he will have some Democrats working in his Cabinet. That's not the sort of talk his party wanted to hear, necessarily, at its convention. He told fellow Republicans that he is a "maverick,'' and that is not always a compliment. But it could be the sort of thing that independent voters - and Democrats still smarting over the loss of Hillary Clinton in the Democr

Cross country criticism for McCain, Obama
TERRE HAUTE, Ind.--Barack Obama turned up the heat on John McCain and Sarah Palin at a rally here Saturday, accusing McCain of hijacking his campaign theme and being surrounded by lobbyists, and he charged that Palin, as governor of Alaska, accepted federal pork "when it's convenient." In Colorado Springs, McCain and Palin launched a Western swing aimed at pumping up Evangelical voters and veterans that make up so much of the electorate in this evenly divided state. Taking the podium, Palin went after Oba

Diddy Says McCain is Buggin’ Out

The Band of Band That's Rejected McCain
For the third time this election season, a band has asked the Republican party to not use one of its songs to introduce the party's presidential and vice-presidential nominees, John McCain and Sarah Palin. Much like Bruce Springsteen, who in 1984 asked Ronald Reagan to stop using "Born in the USA" on his reelection campaign trail, the artists say their politics don't jibe with those of the GOP candidates. After the jump, the artists and the songs to which they've asserted control.

Philip DeFranco ‘I Picked A Girl’ Video
YouTube personality Philip DeFranco is out with a political parody to Katy Perry's hit single 'I Kissed A Girl'. The 'I Picked A Girl' track makes light of Republican presidential nominee John McCain selecting the little known Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his runningmate.

Sloppy Seconds: Palin on Oprah, Will She or Won't She?
 Mary Nancy Wilson of Heart feels "completely fucked over" after the Republicans used the band's Barracuda as a theme song for Sarah Palin during the RNC. Wilson's sister and bandmate, Ann, chimed in: "Sarah Palin’s views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song ‘Barracuda’ no longer be used to promote her image. The song ‘Barracuda’ was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music busine

RNC Day Three: Sarah Palin Makes Dick Cheney Look Like Al Gore
 Last night, we were sitting in the press section at the Excel Center in Minneapolis, wondering if the woman sleeping next to us had been flopped out in that chair since the night before. A woman with a large cup of coffee greeted us while jerking her head up and down. On stage, a droning religious figure mumbled through some sort of sermon. The general vibe on the floor was, "How soon will this be over?"That all changed when Sarah Palin took the stage. All of a sudden, the arena was jam-pack

Sarah Palin Is "Trailer Trash" - Photo Proof!

Sarah Palin Wanted Shotgun Wedding For Pregnant Teen Daughter. Who Will Babysit Now?
Look at those guns!Which means she can't be trusted. I am no political pundit. I am a gossipist. So any factual inaccuracies laid out here can be can be blamed on the fact that I prefer the salacious to the sartorial. I'm not big on John McCain. I think he's a nasty, angry old man. And I think the Republican machine is just out to keep the Oval Office at all costs, and thought they could win Hillary Clinton's lost flock by choosing a running mate by gender rather than qualifications. I don't know squat ab
