   Oh, my! That may leave a bruise… It’s almost enough to make you feel sorry for that senile old fart. Almost, but not quite… Does wallowing in schadenfreudelicious make you gain weight? If so, I’ll probably weigh 800 pounds before Inauguration Day.

   So is this good news for John McCain? Let’s hope that Bush doesn’t come out for Obama, since that would not be helpful.

    Scott is the definition of coward. He runs to the front runner, never taking real responsibility for his previous action.

    Is this a Rovian plot to make McCain look like such a total, landslide bound loser, that he garners some sympathy votes? *snark*

• Raven October 23rd, 2008 at 5:15 pm «

  It is ALL a plot.

  What kind of a plot?

    Some endorsements Obama can do without, and that especially includes W sleazies.

  Works for me! (And I wasn’t kidding — right after Rachel is over I’m going to wallow in 10 minutes of The Doors.)

  Loves me some Doors… brings back memories of my time in Germany and everything Doors was loved by both the GIs and allthe Germans I hung out with!!

    I can’t believe so many Rethugs are endorsing Obama. Does this mean he is really a DINO?
• Marion in Savannah October 23rd, 2008 at 5:30 pm «

  Nope. It means that there may be a few sane (well, moderately sane…) Republicans who realize what a catastrophic disaster their candidate is.

22. perris October 23rd, 2008 at 5:31 pm «

    very nice elliot, a much more important and damning endorsement, ken adelman;

    Ken Adelman is a lifelong conservative Republican. Campaigned for Goldwater, was hired by Rumsfeld at the Office of Economic Opportunity under Nixon, was assistant to Defense Secretary Rumsfeld under Ford, served as Reagan’s director of arms control, and joined the Defense Policy Board for Rumsfeld’s second go-round at the Pentagon, in 2001. Adelman’s friendship with Rumsfeld, Cheney, and their wives goes back to the sixties, and he introduced Cheney to Paul Wolfowitz at a Washington brunch the day Reagan was sworn in.

    check this part out from the interview;

    The most important decision John McCain made in his long campaign was deciding on a running mate.

    I have that post up on my diary

    they are piling on indeed

    If Republicans keep endorsing Obama will we all have to unendorse him?

    The more I see of even those Republicans who endorse Obama the more I think it would be unwise to have even one R in the Obama administration. Ban the letters ‘R’ (Republicans) and ‘W’ (Dubya, Junior, Little Boots, President Bunnypants, etc.) just for safety’s sake.
25. perris October 23rd, 2008 at 5:38 pm «

    sorry to go ot on you elliot but this is the page I am on and I am STUNNED and must post before my battery goes dead;

    holy cow, I NEVER thought I would see michelle malkin’s post and say “she gets it”

    but here it is

    Why that McCain volunteer’s “mutilation” story smells awfully weird
    By Michelle Malkin • October 23, 2008 06:43 PM Throughout my career, I’ve covered dozens of fake hate crimes — campus hate crime hoaxes, Muslim hate crime hoaxes, fake noose hangings, etc., etc., etc. Most were perpetrated by liberals, but there have been some shameful ones on our side of the aisle as well.

    I’ve reported on the great lengths that warped attention-seekers have gone to in perpetrating fake hate crimes, including beating themselves up, carving swastikas on their dorm room doors and walls, locking themselves in bathroom stalls, and burning down their own houses.

    Which is why I’m not jumping up and down with outrage over Drudge-promoted story of a McCain volunteer claiming to have been attacked by a black man whom she accused of carving a “B” in her face after spotting her McCain bumper sticker.

    She refused medical treatment after reporting the incident to police. Why on earth would she do that?

    Look at her face (photo via Hot Air):

    she goes on to point out the “b” on her face is a mirror image

    the “b” looks like she did it herself!

    anyway, i don’t want to post the link and get it tracked back here but it’s up on her blog
26. neurophius October 23rd, 2008 at 5:38 pm «

    I just tuned in late to Countdown, in the middle of a story. Did someone from Arizona named Goldwater endorse Obama? Was it Barry Jr.?
• Elliott October 23rd, 2008 at 5:41 pm «

  you betcha
• Marion in Savannah October 23rd, 2008 at 5:44 pm «

  Goldwater’s granddaughter, who wrote the book about him, endorsed Obama, speaking also for her siblings. There’s a post up on HuffPost that I’ll try to find, and it was also reported in the Arizona papers.
• Marion in Savannah October 23rd, 2008 at 5:46 pm «

  Quick link from TPM Cafe. Gotta love it…
• Marion in Savannah October 23rd, 2008 at 5:50 pm «

  And here’s the HuffPost posting by CC Goldwater titled “Why McCain Has Lost Our Vote.”

30. eCAHNomics October 23rd, 2008 at 5:59 pm «

    For the life of me, I can’t see why Obama supporters are joyess about rightwingnutcases, like Adelman, McClellan, Goldwaters, endorsing him. Creeps me out.
• Marion in Savannah October 23rd, 2008 at 6:04 pm «

  It’s just amusement at watching the wheels fall off the “Straight Talk Express” shitwagon.
• eCAHNomics October 23rd, 2008 at 6:06 pm «

  That’s the first layer of the onion. I’m peeling back to the second layer.
• Marion in Savannah October 23rd, 2008 at 6:12 pm «

  I probably have a MUCH different perspective on this than you… This is the sort of thing that I torture the folks in the office who still drink the Kool-Aid with. Most particularly the ones who have let their wee little bigot flags fly in front of me… Those are the feet I hold to the fire.
• selise October 23rd, 2008 at 6:10 pm «

  me too.

  doesn’t anyone ever wonder if maybe they know something that we don’t?
• wobblybits October 23rd, 2008 at 6:38 pm «

  or it could be that given the choices, they would rather cast their lot in with Obama. maybe it is nothing sinister or nefarious
• selise October 23rd, 2008 at 6:47 pm «

  right – because obama better represents their interests. no nefarious. just worrisome. Adelman?
• wobblybits October 23rd, 2008 at 6:37 pm «

  a bit too general a statement to blanket all Obama supporters.
31. rafflaw October 23rd, 2008 at 6:00 pm «

    I am not sure that I would want McClennan’s endorsement if I was the Obama campaign. Even though Scottie finally got religion after he left the Bush regime, I am not sure I can get past his prior lies and distortions when he was the press secretary.
32. Ann in AZ October 23rd, 2008 at 6:13 pm «

    Keith said all the Goldwater progeny also going for Barack! And of course, Chris Buckley said he was going for Barack also.

    Does this endorsement actually change anyone’s minds though?
