The Veepstakes

Conspiracy theorists believe John McCain's announcing his running mate is being delayed so as to steal thunder from the Democratic Chosen One's masterpiece of oratory tonight.

According to Drudge, McCain's pick will be notified today, and the decision may be leaked at around 6 o'clock tonight, with official confirmation at 8 (both EDT).

I Hate

to tell the reporters at the Times of London, but the picture on the Drudge Report of Hillary Clinton's face is clearly Photoshopped.

I've seen the woman as close up as possible and in very recent weeks, and she looks nowhere near haggard.

From the November town hall in Fernley, Nevada:




And another one, where she is just a few feet away from me:




And here is the bogus picture:



People ought to be ashamed for falling for that crap.

Leave It

to the Drudge Report to come up with this:

CNN debate moderator Wolf Blitzer did an 'outstanding' job in Vegas, a senior adviser to the Hillary campaign said early Friday. 'He was outstanding, and did not gang up like Russert did in Philadelphia. He avoided the personal attacks, remained professional and ran the best debate so far. Voters were the big winners last night.'

A rival campaign insider charges: 'Wolf turned into a lamb. No follow-up question on Clinton's huge flip on drivers licenses?'


First of all, Wolf is the worst possible moderator because he does not have it "upstairs" to ASK follow-up questions. Not to mention the Hillary people have a short memory: I remember vividly when Bill Clinton as president (following the bogus Monica "scandal") had former British PM Tony Blair in the White House, and moron Blitzer tried to ask a question about Monica and being "aroused." Clinton cut him off.

Wolf Blitzer has been on my shitlist ever since.

The report is probably true, and no doubt the campaign put pressure on CNN and UNLV to stack the crowd with Hillary supporters when it is clear other candidates have many supporters as well, having paid close attention. They also put pressure on CNN to allow the audience to cheer and boo--totally uncalled for, and could have presented some kind of security risk.
