Sunday Talk - Lazy Days of Summer

"Could I mention the presence of my friend, Congressman Steve Pearce, who I believe will be joining me in the United States Senate?"  -  John McCain in New Mexico this week.

It just gets worse and worse for John McSame and the gop.
Full lineup and other goodies below...

THE LINEUP -

Meet the Press:

"What we do know about this pervasive wiretapping virtually compels the conclusion that the president of the United States has been breaking the law, repeatedly and insistently.  A president who breaks the law is a threat to the very structure of our government. Our founding fathers were adamant that they had established a government of laws and not men."

Also, Hillary Duff fan David Gregory and Chuck Todd talk shop.

Tweety:  Dan Rather, Kelly O'Donnell, Cynthia Tucker, Howard Fineman.  Quotes here.

This Weak:

And let's not forget how boring golf is.  Have you ever watched it on television?  It's like watching flies fuck.  A completely mindless game.  I should think it takes a fairly low intellect to draw pleasure from the following activity: hitting a ball with a crooked stick...and then walking after it!  And then...hitting it again!  I say 'Pick it up, asshole, you're lucky you found the fuckin' thing.  Put it in your pocket and go the fuck home!'

I say let these rich cocksuckers play miniature golf.  Let them fuck with a windmill for an hour and a half.  I wanna see if there's any real skill among these people.

- George Carlin, RIP

Face The Nation:  Socialist corporate welfare proponent Henry Paulson.

Faux News:  Joint Chiefs Chair Mike Mullen. Senator Evan Bayh (D-Obama) and soon-to-be-irrelevant Joe Lieberman (R-McSame).

Late Edition with Wolf:  Speaker Pelosi, House Minority Whip Roy Blunt, Socialist Paulson.  Bill Schneider, Candy Crowley and Gloria Borger blab on about how McCain can pivot on any issue to his advantage.

Fareed Zakaria GPS:  The Obama World Tour '08 with Israeli ambassador to the UN, Dan Gillerman, Chief Palestinian Negotiator Saeb Erakat and Patriot Chris Dodd.  Also war crimes charges for Sudan government.  60 Min in reruns

h/t Calouste for the screen grab and it's still not changed on his website!

A Wide Stance Platform:

The gop is soliciting ideas from the peoples to remake their platform.
As you would expect, many of the propositions are beyond parody.  
Below is a small sample of actual platform suggestions from Red America.
Democracy in action.

No Same-Sex Chicken Marriage!

"One man one women, - not two men, not one man one goat , not two women, not one women and one chicken,"

Traditional, old fashioned gop values:

"Equality should not mean special or more rights for nonwhites."

"Any race-based policy in government, or support by government, is unconstitutional. Private organizations have every right to discriminate based on race and ethnicity."

"We need to end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens because it complicates the deportation of these criminals."

"Focus on borders, language , culture! You are complict in giving this country away to third world invaders."

BAN THE PIG!

"Pass legislation outlawing PORK."

"All dysfunction regulations need to be revolked,"

"Hiring the best person for the job is the thing to do. And as far as those who say Americans and whites won't do minial work (did I spell that right?)......."

The Enthusiasm Gap:

"I cannot support McCain. Is there any way he can be convinced not to accept the nomination? That would be a big boost to the party. "

And my personal favorite...

"Forget about protecting "American Values", no one will ever get elected if they try to protect American values. You want to get elected, tell the people your going to legalize prostitution, give out free beer, support their lazy self the rest of their life without them ever having to work. That'll get you #1 on the charts!

Register & submit your platform suggestions on how to make this country of whiners great once again.

The Gay Adoption FlipFlop:

Q: President Bush believes that gay couples should not be permitted to adopt children. Do you agree with that?

McCain: I think that we’ve proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no I don’t believe in gay adoption.

But he changes his tune when emailing Andrew Sullivan.

The Afghanistan FlipFlop:

"So let's all say it out loud: McCain is now copying Obama's position on Afghanistan.

And with troops that he doesn't have since he's against pulling any out of Iraq."

               

The Lap Dog media won't spend much time on his flip-flops, as expected.  We can expect them to fully swallow the McCain campaign narrative on al Maliki and his support for Obama's plan.

On the Sunday shows and in the coming week, look for them to twist themselves into a pretzel trying to explain how this is all great for the McSame campaign.
