Comment: John McCain is a cantankerous and sorry-azz bassterd. As I watched the debate I was literally yelling at the TV because that pompous and pale-faced relic deliberately ignored Barack Obama because he knows that, when it comes to class, dignity, intelligence and poise, that black man stands shoulders above him and his air-head, wanna-be VP, combined. For him to take his cryptkeeper-looking azz on "This Week" with George Stephanoupolis and deny that he was being disrespectful to Barack Obama is some BS that he ought to try to sell along with Ms. PWT's Alaskan "Bridge to Nowhere." His excuse: he was looking at the Narrator and taking notes is straight up BS. He couldn't even look at Obama when he extended his hand to him before the debate began. Just days earlier, one of McCain's campaign aides told CNN that he did not like Senator Obama and that he had made it well-known to his political team and supporters. Therefore, if John McCain has such disdain for this brilliant (young) black warrior, who clearly deserves to be the next president of the United States, hands down, what respect could he possibly have for the rest of us? John McCain and Sarah Palin can kiss my azz!!!!

George was looking at him like "I can't believe this %*$!( is lying right in my face" LOL Katie Couric had the SAME look last night when palin and mccain were on again last night trying to explain how her answer on pakistan in that restaraunt was "Gotcha politics" LOL I was SCREAMING!!!! Katie asked palin if she regretted saying it and mccain o jump on her...his redneckedness (my new word) showing big time LOL Not to mention he and his campaign releasing an add and doing interviews congratulating him on helping the bailout bill to pass...then the %*$! BLOWS UP!!!! This man is an idiot and if I were a republican, I would be outside scraping that damn bumper sticker off my car LOL

Comment: ^^^infofan1960^^^ Obama is not running to be loved by his people. He knows the so-called "self-hate" came with the territory. Kudos to Ebert for speaking on Barack's behalf, I wish more supporting black men and women in "prominent positions" would stick their necks out for Barack. No matter how educated, articulate, and courtesy Barack presents himself, he has emotions like the average person and would benefit from sideline cheering. ^^^But of course black people done fugged up so much they can't dare show their face without tainting the ticket. ^^^On second thought, keep your black as&ses where you're at. Barack's got this! ^^^LOL^^^

Comment: javone77 --> The Katie interview with both McCain and Palin was so disrespectful to women. McCain was feeding Couric with "gotcha questions" and Katie was like, "Dude, he's a VOTER". Then she asked Palin directly forher thoughts and with Palin's mouth wide open to answer, McCain cut her off to answer for her. May I ask - in the history of modern US politics, since when does a VP candidate need to be spoken for by anyone else in an interview. He is clowning Palin something terrible.

Comment: That was McShame's way of saying Obama was not his equal but like everything else, including the outright lies, Obama put that down too. He didn't give McShame the respect his position and years afforded - Obama kept referring to him by his first name. Brought pasty faced mcshame down where he belongs cause at one point his face turned really red. Point gotten! The flip side is that McShame knew he was gonna have to tell some lies and I don't care how good you lie - you don't establish eye contact - you can't! Truth ain't in him and his feet ain't mates!

Comment: The Republicans will have a harder time stealing the vote in Ohio this time around. “Two courts today upheld Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner's interpretation of law regarding the start of early absentee voting Tuesday… Bottom line: Ohioans who sign up to vote starting Tuesday can also cast an absentee ballot through next Monday's registration deadline at least until another court ruling…. Republicans argue that voters must be registered for at least 30 days before they are eligible to vote to prevent fraud.” http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/storie s/2008/09/29/copy2/earlyvote_ruling.html?type=rss&cat= &sid=101 They also won’t be able to use the Diebold machines as effectively to rig the votes: “In the key presidential battleground of Ohio, the switch away from touch-screens came after Secretary of State Jennifer Bruner took office last year and commissioned a top-to-bottom review of the Diebold machines used in 53 of Ohio's 88 counties…. Last week Brunner sued the manufacturer, now known as Premier Election Systems, for breach of contract, citing recent elections where votes were dropped when memory cards were uploaded.” http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/08/16/eveningnews/ main4355733.shtml?source=related_story “Ohio's elections chief says she won't allow poll workers to take voting machines home for safekeeping in the days before the November presidential election.

Comment: But with the progress made in Ohio, is the fraud contained elsewhere? What about Republican controlled Florida? Are the Democrats taking enough action to stop it? “Bobby: “No, the democrats are doing nothing to stop it…. There are about 30 scams the republicans are deliberately using, particularly in the swing states to get democratic voters off the rolls. These scams originate in the so-called Help America Vote Act which was passed after the Florida debacle in the year 2000. It was originally suggested by democrats and republicans but it was passed by a republican congress with a republican senate and a republican president. And instead of reforming what happened in Florida it basically institutionalized all the problems that happened in Florida. And institutionalized a series of impediments that make it very difficult for democrats to register, for democrats to vote and then for democrats to have their vote counted….” RFK Jr and Pap: "Is Your Vote Safe?" http://airamerica.com/ringoffire/blog/2008/sep/22/rfk- jr-and-pap-your-vote-safe

Latest Palin Gaffe: Can't Name Supreme Court Case Other Than Roe V. Wade
Today, the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz reported on potentially embarrassing clips of Sarah Palin being interviewed by Katie Couric that haven't yet been aired. The Politico has more information on one in particular:
Of concern to McCain's campaign, however, is a remaining and still-undisclosed clip from Palin's interview with Couric last week that has the political world buzzing.
The Palin aide, after first noting how "infuriating" it was for CBS to purportedly leak word about the gaffe, revealed that it came in response to a question about Supreme Court decisions.
After noting Roe vs. Wade, Palin was apparently unable to discuss any major court cases.
There was no verbal fumbling with this particular question as there was with some others, the aide said, but rather silence.

Comment: When THE COLOR PURPLE won all those Oscar nominations (11), Roger Ebert said: The 1st award of the night is BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS. He said if OPRAH WINFREY wins, watch for T.C.P. to sweep the awards. If she don't win, T.C.P. will not win ANY awards..TRUE TO HIS WORDS, T.C.P. didnt win any.

Comment: “According to a Sept. 26-27 USA Today/Gallup poll, just 27% of Americans approve of the job George W. Bush is doing as president, the lowest rating of his presidency. …The all-time low rating for any president is 22%, for Harry Truman in February 1952. Bush now joins Truman and Richard Nixon as the only presidents who have had approval ratings of 27% or lower in Gallup Polls. Low approval ratings have become routine for Bush. He has not had an approval rating above 40% for over two years, and only a handful of ratings at or above 50% his entire second term in office.” http://www.gallup.com/poll/110806/Bushs-Approval-Ratin g-Drops-New-Low-27.aspx.

Comment: I said it before and I'll say it again, I'm gonna be in front of my TV on Thursday night at 9pm with popcorn, lemonade and Twizzlers. I was watching CNN and MSNBC while working out last evening and all they kept saying about the debate was that Biden should just let Palin talk. Just let her talk and bury herself - that he didn't have to do anything. He didn't have to be rude. He didn't have to blow her away with all of his knowledge/experience. All he had to do was let her run her mouth and she'd do herself in. I CAN'T WAIT! Do ya hear me?! As for McCain, I said what Ebert said yesterday. McCain's utter and total disrespect was mentioned every time they talked about the debate this past weekend. Another thing they kept doing last night was replaying Tina Fey's parody against the real interview and all the people on the shows kept saying that it was terrifying to imagine Palin getting in office. Even the black Republican chick couldn't defend that interview. She kept saying "They need to let Sarah Palin be Sarah Palin." And the other lady was like - yeah, that's exactly what they need to do and Biden will win the debate! LOL Man but this is the most exciting election ever. I'm a historian so I have some knowledge about all of the elections dating back to George Washington and I have to say that this one is THE election of them all. I think that because everyone can vote and because we have minute to minute coverage on Blackberry phones and on the internet that it makes it more exciting.

LOLOL...anyway, TGen - there are so many people saying that he should just let her hang herself that I'm sure he's heard that and that it's been discussed. He's taking it seriously and even having mock debates. One thing he has to be careful of is her "cute factor". One person said that people love her spunkiness and he will have to play it careful because she does have charisma. Let's be real. She does have "something" that appeals to people. It's not her intelligence for sure but she has some appeal. The key for Biden is to stay on point and stay on McCain's policies and to stay with the facts. If he does that, she won't be able to keep up. I mean look at her interview with Couric. Katie was looking at her like she just sprouted moose antlers. Katie's look was like, "WTF did she just say? Is she for real??!" I keep referring back to Tina Fey but it's because Tina Fey pretty much did a lot of Palin's answers verbatim and people howled. She only went off when she mentioned McDonald's happy meals. I think I'm gonna watch it again right now. Man that is funny!

One other thing to consider too, this debate will not be like the others (Musb) because he and Moose don't know each other. It might be hard to get a rhythm going with (or against) somone you don't know. He doesn't know her tick, she doesn't know his. They will be feeling each other out in the first few minutes.

Comment: Right on Roger. You stole the words from my mouth... But on the Palin. The greatest trouble that I have with Palin is that I'm appalled that someone her age hasn't even developed a basic worldview to even be conversant about domestic and foreign policy issues. Sure, I don't agree with her politics (what little she's actually told us about her politics). And after her interviews with Charlie Gibson and the twofer with Katie Couric I believe she's a dunce. But that's not the issue for me. ANY Vice Presidential candidate should be conversant on the basics of any of these issues. The Repubs and their pundits are trying to phrase this as she's new to the national stage and is studying on these issues. WTH? Even if she's studying about the details, it's troubling that she can even be mildly conversant on these. What it suggests is that she hasn't picked up a newspaper in ... like ever. And that's troubling to think that this dunce could be meeting heads of state and presiding over the Senate. Republicans ought to be ashamed to have a dunce like Palin representing the party. A-damn-shamed.

I said the same thing yesterday. You nailed it. Fareed Zakaria said something interesting, he said "it's not that she doesn't know the answers, it's that she doesn't seem to even understand the questions." I found that very insightful. Bill Maher said, "she doesn't even know how to b.s. like most politicians." Exactly. She seems to have been living in a box or something for the past decade. She's a very bizarre lady.

Comment: Queenie...had we not seen how she's handled her "cuteness" in these interviews, I would be inclined to agree w/you. However, she was being cute when after Gibson asked her whether she agreed w/the Bush doctrine and she said "in what respect charlie?" When asked to talk about how being close to alaska gave her foreign policy experience, her cuteness said "when putin rears his ugly head"...*as she mimes a plane w/her hands* When asked to name when McCain showed his maverick, she said "I'll get back to ya." All of those were cute and based on what we've seen..they all have fallen flat. I think her cuteness works when she has a teleprompter or is knowledgeable about the subject. She can't cute her way out of talking about the anbar awakening..especially standing next to Biden. TGEN..yeah I agree w/that. But, this debate will be about performance/grasp of the issues. Biden does well w/both. Palin..well...she just has shown a complete detachment from issues on a national scale. IF and I will say IF she comes back w/the bullshyt about her foreign policy credentials is that she can throw a boomerang to Russia..it's a done deal. BTW, someone could've read your "weird" statement as a backhanded insult..sorta like "how the hell u ain't seen the debate yet when that's all you have to do is go to youtube!"....lol

Comment: cosign Exmun, Obviously the Repubs are not thinking rationally or they believe we aren't. I have a real problem with having to lock someone down and stuff, the very knowledge she should have had prior to this appointment, down her throat. She is not prepared or equipped to answer basic questions in regards to foreign policy and economics. The job of Presidency is not on the job training, WTF.

Comment: >Exmun - Funny thing is I don't really pick up newspapers that much. I read them online occasionally but for the most part, I read news magazines and watch news programs and interviews and I read stories on the internet. And even I could debate her azz under the table and make her azz cry like a little girl and run off the stage in a tizzy. I say all of that to say that you don't even have to read a newspaper cover to cover every day to know enough about the world. Yet she don't know nathan about nuthin. I'm with you. I'm scratching my head about her. She thinks she can BS her way to the top but we are in such dire straights as a country that it isn't flying anymore. People grasp that McCain, though he presents himself as robust, is freakin' old. According to the CDC, the life expectancy of a white male born in 1936 is 58 yrs. He's 72. He's on borrowed time, y'all. That being said, this crazy heifa could become president. I can just imagine her in talks with other world leaders and it just scares me. See this table if you don't believe me...http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/dvs/nvsr52_14t12.pdf ... this man's clock is ticking...

(CNN) – Sarah Palin may just be the next Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton — two previous governors underestimated by the national media who went on to win the White House, John McCain said Monday.
Appearing alongside Palin in an interview on CBS, McCain reiterated his confidence in the Alaska governor, even as several conservatives suggested she is unqualified for the No. 2 spot on a national ticket.
"This is not the first time that I've seen a governor being questioned by some quote, 'expert,' " McCain told CBS' Katie Couric as Palin looked on. "I remember that Ronald Reagan was a 'cowboy.' President Clinton was a governor of a very small state that had 'no experience' either. I remember how easy it was going to be for Bush I to defeat

Comment: "But the point is I've seen underestimation before," McCain added. "I'm very proud of the excitement that Gov. Palin has ignited with our party and around this country. It is a level of excitement and enthusiasm, frankly, that I haven't seen before. And I'd like to attribute it to me. But the fact is that she has done incredible job. And I'm so proud of the work that she's doing."
The comments come after Palin's widely panned interview with Couric last week during which the Republican VP candidate struggled through several answers on her foreign policy credentials and the proposed economic bailout. The comments instantly became fodder for late-night comedians and prompted criticism from several conservative corners that Palin appeared to be in over her head. But a counter-chorus has also emerged, as supporters have publicly urged the campaign not to keep Palin so isolated from the media and to allow her unfiltered audience interaction.
“Holding Sarah Palin to just three interviews and microscopically focusing on each interview I think has been a mistake,” former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney told MSNBC’s "Morning Joe" on Monday. “I think they'd be a lot wiser to let Sarah Palin be Sarah Palin. Let her talk to the media, let her talk to people."
But also in the interview with Couric on Monday, McCain decried "gotcha" journalism as he sought to downplay Palin's recent comments that suggested she would support crossing into Pakistan from the Afghanistan to root out terrorists.

Comment: "I understand this day and age of "gotcha" journalism, was that a pizza place?" McCain said regarding where Palin made the comments. "In a conversation with someone who you didn't hear … the question very well, you don't know the context of the conversation, grab a phrase. Gov. Palin and I agree that you don't announce that you're going to attack another country."
The comments came during Palin's visit to a cheesesteak restaurant in Philadelphia on Saturday night, when a voter asked if she supported a cross-border attack on Pakistan
"If that's what we have to do stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should," Palin responded, in comments that contradict McCain's long-standing position of consulting with Pakistan before carrying out attacks on terrorists within its borders.

Comment: Exmun, it's being reported on huffingtonpost that the only major Supreme Court case that Palin can name is Roe v Wade . . . . . Howard Kurtz from the Washington Post is trying to get CBS to air more of the Couric interview including Palin's silent response to the Supreme Court question so that we can know more fully how badly Palin performed and the fuller extent to which she is not suited to be vice president or, in the worse case, president . . . . . I don't think of Palin as stupid because I have family members who are like Palin: they don't know shyt from shinola in terms of world view with the difference that none of those people in my family have aspirations to the highest political office in the US

Comment: Javone, thanks for the article. TGen, I saw the clip of Fareed Zakaria talking about Palin and he's spot on. Queenie, I totally feel you. The Palin dunce factor is about a basic level of inquisitiveness that ANY 44 year old breathing human should have about the world around them. And it's not this woman was a housewife all this time (or hockey mom as she wants to shove down our throats). For the past 10+ years she has been in elected office and is currently the governor of a state in the union. It's foolishness to think that she isn't even conversant on the basic issues and yet we are suppposed to suspend belief that she's going to advise the President on our foreign policy strategy and other important domestic matters? McCain must think I'm some kind of fool. And call me elitist, but I DO believe that our President and VP should be highly intelligent people (or at least pass a certain baseline of knowledge). It's foolishness to say you want the No. 2 job, but have not even an inch deep of knowledge about even the most basic national issue. If any ordinary voter doesn't find her troubling then America gets what it gets.

Comment: I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna speak about the big white elephant in the room with all of us. It's like this. The Republicans are counting on racism to slide their slimy azzes into 1600 Penn Ave. They know they could have Bozo the clown and Raggedy Ann on their ticket and they might get in because of the racism that is alive and well in this country. That's truth. Everyone in this country knows d*mned good and well that if Barack Obama was John Smith from Iowa, this would not even be a contest. But they are counting on racism. They are counting on white people not being able to pull the lever/push the button for a black man. They are counting on that. A white guy on the Today Show said what I've been knowing all along. They don't care who the VP running mate is. They are counting on racism to get them in. If that happens, this country is doomed and I want to turn in my citizenship because I will be so disgusted with being here that I won't be able to stay. And that's truth. I already feel like Michelle when she said, "for the first time, I'm proud to be an American". That woman spoke the truth I am sure we all feel. Racism is alive and kicking in this country and everybody knows it but only a few people will say it aloud. At this point nothing surprises me. Nothing. That's why I keep falling back on God because He is the one really running things. When George W. got in 8 yrs ago, I was like WTF? I was like, um, uh, God, I know you know what you're doing and all but uh, you sure about this?...then Obama came along and it made sense. God made it clear that a black man has to get in. He set it up that even with free will white racist idiots have to vote for a black man to save themselves. I am just waiting and cringing to see what they will do. We aren't supposed to have fear but I'd be lying if I said I didn't fear the outcome of Nov 4th. I'd be lying and I try not to lie.

I, too, have family members who only appear to see what's in front of them and haven't developed a basic world view or a since of inquisitiveness about the world around them. And all 'em would be laughed off stage if anyone were to mention their name as a possible candidate. The problem here is that McCain, the maverick, did the unthinkable and actually picked her... and none of her tawdry stories that came out immediately was enough to dissuade him. He wanted that puzz... I mean he still let her accept the nomination. Now that she's the formal candidate we have to take the laughable serious, and if that ain't enough to make you question McCain's judgment nothin' will. The guy's an idiot and she's a dunce.

Comment: Bipartisanship anyone????
(CNN) – Barack Obama called President Bush Tuesday morning to discuss the economic bailout bill, campaign advisor Robert Gibbs said.
The two spoke about the need to push for a package that Congress can agree on, Gibbs also said.
Obama also raised his proposal to raise the amount of money the government insures in bank accounts from $100,000 to $250,000.
Obama believes "that such a proposal can broaden the coalition supporting the package," Gibb said.
At his economic roundtable Tuesday morning, McCain also said he had spoken to the president Tuesday morning.

Comment: Sam Stein on huffingtonpost is reporting:
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was working aggressively behind the scenes to defeat the Wall Street rescue plan minutes before he himself released a public statement in support of the package, NBC's Andrea Mitchell reported on Tuesday. ___
Gingrich was whipping up votes for the opposition, Mitchell said, apparently without the knowledge of the current GOP leader, John Boehner, who was responsible for recruiting enough support from his caucus to help ensure the bill's passage. Ultimately, the GOP was only able to rally roughly a third of its members. ___
"Newt Gingrich," she said on MSNBC, "I am told reliably by leading Republicans who are close to him, he was whipping against this up until the last minute, when he issued that face-saving statement. Newt Gingrich was telling people in the strongest possible language that this was a terrible deal, not only that it was a terrible deal, it was a disaster, it was the end of democracy as we know, it was socialism -- and then at the last minute [he] comes out with a statement when the vote is already in place." ____ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/30/report-gingri ch-stabbed-b_n_130487.html

Comment: Palin, on Thursday: 1) use the same quips she used in the RNC acceptance speech, 2) attack Obama with the many times he said he "agreed" with McCain last Friday night, 3) say maverick about 10 times, 4) allow the Republican spin machine to vociferously tell us what we didn't see and try to spin a lackluster performance into a "win." Whether it will be enough for the Republicans is one thing, but the debates are not about people who are in your camp. The debates are about undecided/uncommitted voters. And 'they' won't be fooled. So in the end, she will probably do harm to the ticket with the key people she and McCain are trying to sway... and she'll prove my point that she's a dunce who's no better than a trained monkey in her ability to repeat lines that someone else told her.

McCain: Palin the next Clinton or Reagan
Posted: 11:32 AM ET

Comment: McCain May Suspend Campaign Again
------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
Kurtz at TPM writes, "John McCain made the morning show rounds today. On Fox they were virtually begging him to 'suspend' his campaign again in the wake of the bailout failure yesterday on the Hill. You know, since it worked out so well the first time. McCain's answer: He just might suspend again."
McCain's comments follow a blog post by William Kristol yesterday arguing, "if this is really 'a national economic crisis,' and others have failed to lead, then McCain should lead--by re-suspending his campaign (fine, let observers mock him when he announces this), and leading his party and the Congress towards a solution. They won't mock if he can pull this off."...
Hmmm.... Would this mean no VP debate?

Comment: Tuesday's New York Times features a profile of Tom Brokaw ahead of the October 7 presidential debate being hosted by the veteran NBC newsman. The Times reveals that Brokaw has "played a pivotal role out of public view, both within NBC and in its dealings with the campaign of John McCain in particular."
Mr. Brokaw said that over the summer he had "advocated" within the executive suite of NBC News to modify the anchor duties of the MSNBC hosts Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews on election night and on nights when there were presidential debates. Their expressions of strong political opinions from the MSNBC anchor desk has run counter to the more traditional role Mr. Brokaw played on "NBC Nightly News" for more than two decades. NBC said earlier this month that the two hosts would mostly relinquish their anchor duties to Mr. Gregory, while being present as analysts.
"Keith is an articulate guy who writes well and doesn't make his arguments in a 'So's your old mother' kind of way," Mr. Brokaw said. "The mistake was to think he could fill both roles. The other mistake was to think he wouldn't be tempted to use the anchor position to engage in commentary. That's who he is."
Brokaw said he has also conducted some "shuttle diplomacy in recent weeks" between NBC and the McCain campaign.
His mission, he said, was to assure the candidate's aides that -- despite some negative on-air commentary by Mr. Olbermann in particular -- Mr. McCain could still get a fair shake from NBC News. Mr. Brokaw said he had been told by a senior McCain aide, whom he did not name, that the campaign had been reluctant to accept an NBC representative as one of the moderators of the three presidential debates -- until his name was invoked.
"One of the things I was told by this person was that they were so irritated, they said, 'If it's an NBC moderator, for any of these debates, we won't go,' " Mr. Brokaw said. "My name came up, and they said, 'Oh, hell, we have to do it, because it's going to be Brokaw.' "
The article led off with the news that NBC is considering an ensemble of hosts for "Meet the Press," led by Chuck Todd:
[The network] is leaning toward an ensemble of hosts that would be led by Chuck Todd, NBC's political director, and include David Gregory, a correspondent and MSNBC anchor, according to a person who had been briefed on the proposal but was not authorized to comment, partly because the plans were not set. Like the turnover of anchors at all three network newscasts, the process of choosing a successor for Mr. Russert has been closely watched in media and political circles.

Brokaw is more dangerous than those like on FauxNews because he wears the mask of objectivity, average viewers will trust him to be fair and may not notice when he starts doing his slanted "journalism" in Mac's favor as he's done for weeks now. We REALLY need to sound the alarm. I hope the BO camp is prepared. This is really bothering me.

Comment: >Deb70- I can see the situation from a neutral standpoint. MSNBC is clearly the more liberal of the news stations as Fox News is the more conservative. Brokaw has a pristine reputation in the field of journalism. It is clear the two mentioned are biased and for Obama. I can understand the dilemma. If McCain and his camp won't play, there's a problem. I think it would be the same issue if Fox News were going to be a part of it. Obama would have the same valid issue. I plead ignorance of who will ask the questions but if it were a panel of journalists, it would be fair to have one from Fox, one from MSNBC and one from CNN to balance it out. That's just my take on it.

He said, "The Republicans have been running wild these past 8 years. It's time for us to have some adult supervision in the White House." I was like DAYUM.

Comment: Queenie, I agree, he's grown a lot. But though I didn't see it (that was the one debate I missed during the primaries) that ABC "debate" is now infamous for its insulting ("flag pin"), distorting ("relationship with Ayers), "gotcha" atmosphere, and it almost brought down BO's nomination. It was horrible, and was moderated by supposedly "fair" journalists. Just like Brokaw. I just see the handwriting on the wall, there's not too much more dangerous that mainstream journalists with an agenda (Reference lead-up to Iraq war). I have no doubt in my mind Brokaw has an agenda, he has obvious disdain for Obama, and a clear bias towards McCain, and extra motive to coddle McCain in that he wants to appear "fair" against Keith Olbermann. If you want to see how subtle yet dangerous he is, pull up his interview of David Axelrod and Steve Schmidt from Sunday. Notice the subtle dig at the end. Dude is something else.

Comment: We interrupt this blog for a special update*************************An open message to Michelle Obama:*************Forgive me, Mrs. Obama, but your husband is so da@n sexy. There is something about an intelligent man with power that makes me weak at the knees. I just saw you and he on The Insider this morning and the way he stutters and smiles and looks down as he does it just makes me want to jump on my tv. Since it looks like you two are tight, tight, tight, I guess I'll just have to find my own sexy, dark-lipped intelligent honey. To be honest, I usually like them dark with a little more meat, but as I said before, there's something about him.

Comment: T-Gen/queeniebunz--
T-Gen, it bothers me too. Queenie, I understand what you're saying, and Barack will definitely handle things, as he always has. Shoot. If he got through that April 16 debate with Hillary where Charles Gibson and George Stephanopolus dogged him out, he can get through anything.
But the fact remains that Brokaw has mad pull at NBC and he needs to be reprimanded for what he's been doing and saying in the media. MoveOn.Org has called him out about his polling comment at the end of Meet the Press on Sunday:On last Sunday's Meet The Press, Tom Brokaw closed down the show's Battle of the Campaign Flacks by deflecting the crux of David Axelrod's Iraq-judgement argument with poll numbers that he had at the ready:
MR. AXELROD: What has happened is, as Senator Obama predicted from the beginning, that we got distracted in Iraq and now Osama bin Laden, who was the person who attacked the United States, killed 3,000 American citizens, is now resurgent. He is stronger. And that's the result of the misbegotten decision of John McCain. And he stubbornly wants to continue, even as the Iraqis won't take responsibility, sitting on $79 billion of their own surplus while we spend $10 billion a month. It doesn't make sense. We can't take more of the same, Steve.
MR. BROKAW: In fairness to everybody here, I'm just going to end on one note, and that is that we continue to poll on who's best equipped to be commander in chief, and John McCain continues to lead in that category despite the criticism from Barack Obama by a factor of 53 to 42 percent in our latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
MoveOn.org researched the matter, and found the polling numbers Brokaw was citing. They weren't in any recent poll conducted by NBC/WSJ. In fact, the recent NBC News/WSJ poll does not even include a question on "who's best equipped to be commander-in-chief." To get those 53-42 numbers, you have got to dial it back to the poll taken September 6-8 - significantly, the poll done after the Republican National Convention - to find those numbers sitting at question 14. The larger picture, of course, is that in head-to-head matchups - in NBC/WSJ now, NBC/WSJ then, all these polls from Sunday - is that those polled prefer Obama.
MoveOn has, naturally, asked Brokaw to apologize.

Comment: But...whose to say Brokow won't pass a list of possible questions to the McCains campaign before the Oct 7 debate? The only reason why I bring this up is bc during that individual interview of both parties approx. one month ago, it was said that McCain was sequestered back stage while Obama was having his Q&A only to discover this was not the case. It later came out that McCain was outside sitting in his limosine listening to the entire Obama Q&A thus giving McCain a leg up on what was being asked how to answer the questions before his Q&A and, leading to McCain supposedly winning the Q&A hands down. @ this point I trust no one in the media.

Comment: >TGen - you sure have a way of being condescending, don't you? It's your gift. LOL...I read the exchange and I still stand by what I said. Journalists are biased. They are. That's life. I get that. And Brokaw is one of them. No brainer. I still say that Obama is intelligent enough to know what and who he's dealing with. Brokaw can end on whatever note he wants to and Obama will still be okay. In the end, it's not the end note of someone like Brokaw. The endless commentary/analysis that each news station offers tends to even things out.

Comment: the key point that I get from today's NY Times profile on Brokaw is this: If the way he presided over the Axelrod-Schmidt joint interview is any indication, Mr. Brokaw will pick his shots at the debate on next Tuesday. He is often a lenient moderator, who prefers to let the participants fight things out. At times he also seems reluctant to ask a second follow-up question, to say nothing of a third or fourth, when he does not get an answer.

Comment: Ex...i was bout to say..WTH! This election has gotten you talking like AL..lol I'm glad somebody is at least responding to Brokaw's very strange comment following Axelrod's body slamming of Schmidt. It really came out of nowhere and even now I can't think what relevance the polls have to do w/what they had been discussing. Besides, McCain will always win a commander in chief test if for no other reason his POW/26-yr senatorial experience. That's as obvious as asking who's more experienced...Biden or Palin. The reason you haven't heard about it is the same reason not one journalist/pundit on MS/NBC never called Pat Buchanan out on his "Brief foe Whitey." He's one of their own on the NBC side and he said what those @Fox would have been crucified for saying. That's why we need to stop giving "liberal" junkits a pazz when they do stupid shyt. My draw dropped last week w/Matthews went on and on talking about how it was surprising that Obama was so "unethnic" at the debate as if he was supposed to be up there in a fkng throwback jersey and timbs talking like lil "who dat sey dey go beat lil wayne" carter. Fk outta here Chris Matthews. But, it feel on def ears. Then again, this is the same network who never attempted to put Wright's comments in context and played them over..and over..and over again while the best Sarah "witchdoctor" Palin's church could get is a mention on Olbermann/Maddow. Yep, they are our friends..when they wanna be.

Comment: HT..that's why I thought the segment w/Axel/Schmidt was awful. As a respected journalist, I would expect Brokaw to moderate a discussion that benefits average americans..not political parties. He let both of them (moreso Schmidt) hurl scurrilous charges and rarely challenged them on it. I don't wanna see either side just spin..spin..spin on MTP. If I wanted that, I could watch Hannity. IMO, that's not a gud look at all. Just let the dogs go out and run wild, while he sits backs and gets his rocks off.

I see it totally different. Brokaw comes from the age of media where there was a lot more journalism and a hell of a lot less opinion. Today, most of what passes as news is entertainment disguesed as news (punditry), where the "news host" brings in two or more diverse opinions and has them argue. Sometimes we the viewers get some facts out of it, but mostly what we hear is opinion. Regardless of his political leanings (and I don't know what they are), I believe Tom wants to preserve NBC (as opposed to MSNBC) as a news outfit that is "perceived" as being objective and having no political slant. And honestly, I think he has a good point. Brokaw is perceived as having no political affiliation. He's not partisan. I live MSNBC, but it is slanted politically progressive/liberal/Democratic and is a balance to Faux News being Republican. Big picture, it's important to preserve the NBC brand and being nonpartisan, so I get what Brokaw is saying.

BHO is just going to have to overcome the circumstances . . . . . the rules of the game aren't changed but the playing field sure as hell ain't level

I was just trying to point out to you specifically where Deb70 and I were coming from because your initial post left the impression you had not seen that exchange. But exxcuuuse me for responding to you. Dang... Exmun: "Brokaw is perceived as having no political affiliation. He's not partisan." THAT'S MY POINT. That's why dude is so dangerous imo. It's clear his motive--to overcome the image ONE show, Countdown, has [erroneously] created about NBC. But in doing so, he is going too far. It is NOT his job to play "makeup" for people who can't seem to see the difference between opinion shows and information shows. It IS his job, however, to just be fair. He has CLEARLY been anything but. He is NOT an adequate replacement for Tim Russert. Tim was hard, but he was fair. There was rarely suspicion he was slanting things for people to "make up" for other people. Imo, NBC would do well to go with a Schuster or someone. Next time you see David Schuster, notice how he takes everyone to task. I think he'd be a great replacement. But now I'm rambling, lol. Back to the subject... IndependentThnkr, you raise a great point. And honestly, I wouldn't put it past him. That NYT article said he has a "friendly" relatinoship with Mac but does not know BO socially, and he's visited personally with people from Mac's camp, not so for BO. It wouldn't surprise me at all, if on one of his visits, Mac was "accidentally" slipped the questions before Oct 7, wouldn't surprise me at all. *sigh*

Funny thing to me is that I watch Obama and he has all kinds of "ethnic" mannorisms. Even his vernacular isn't taht of a white man. It just isn't. People may jump on me for saying that but even though black folk speak correct English regularly, we still throw in some things that make it a just a lil different. Example: "We go way back!" Correct English but not something you'd hear Brad or Becky say. Example: "Don't go there!" That was ours before it got taken by Becky and Brad...

Comment: To me?...J Mac's not looking at Obama was just a weak as-s way to try to wreck Obie's flow! Like...yall remember when yo mama use to say..."look at me when I'm talkin to you"!?? See, "that' was a sign of respect! Now with J Mac "doing that"!??..He was showing disrespect, but with the intention of fukkin with Obie's head!! but like I said..."That" shyt was weeeeeeeeeak! And when people do stuff like that, it REALLY only reveals how WEAK THEY FEEL to try to get your attention....LIKE THAT!! In a word?..."INSECURITY"!! One!

Comment: I watched last Friday's debate and was so proud of Obama. He made John McCain look like a total fool. It was truly hilarious. McCain was supposed to have the most experience at Foreign Affairs and couldn't remember the names of Foreign Leaders. Our Stallion(Obama) kicked that Maverick's butt and showed the world what he truly is: A War-Monging-Grumpy-Old-Man! Obama Rocks!!!

Comment: In light of what Ebert wrote, this is off the cuff here, but since I'm a creative writer I ought to be able to do this...Poem, "Obama to McCain" by Princene (www.princene.blogspot.com) You may ignore my face, but I applaud your grace, not! You may ignore my smile but I've got you on my style, Yes, you may ignore my wits, but I admit, I embrace your fits, In fact, You, John, may ignore my talk, but I will always take my walk, into the White House I must go, ignore this, but the votes, oh my, make me the winner! Spinner! Go away, but for now who will be ignored?
