If you haven’t caught it yet, check out Jim Cramer explaining how “We’re all communists now.” “We’re all communists now.” If you can stick around thru the shouty parts at the beginning, the reward is the sick looks on everyone’s faces as he lays out how unbelievably shitty the Wall St. implosion is, and how the ultimate price tag is going to be at least $2.5 TRILLION.

Wondering how long it’s gonna be before McCain is going to suddenly discover his deep, obvious and longstanding love of proto-Marxist interventionist economic policy.

I prefer “person of fanciness on the inside,” per Mr. Rogers, or “Lady-parted American.”

So was Patricia Dunn, after HP's spy scandal in 2006. I was thinking that was Fiorina.

Fiorina was pushed out of HP.

Hewlitt-Packard? The company that’s just announced 25,000 job layoffs? Sounds like perhaps Ms. Fiorina didn’t really know how to run a corporation either. Apologies if someone else already pointed this out.

To be fair, I think she hasn’t been CEO of HP for awhile and isn’t responsible for the current layoffs, though HP has a history of being up and down.

MzNicky,

Apparently, HP’s stock jumped 7% on the news of her firing. Woo hoo, way to go McCain. Awesome judgment on the folks you surround yourself with.

John McCain invented the toaster, but that sonovabitch Westinghouse screwed him out of the patent. In fact, early toasters were called “McCains.” Ask your Grandpa. I bet he remembers putting bread in the ol’ McCain to make some delicious McCain Bread for breakfast before going off to the plant. (Of course, this was long before Carly Fiorina closed the plant, but that’s another story).

[...] das ist das Problem das viele Leute haben, der Zwang ans Telefon gehen zu müssen. Es könnte ja was wichtiges sein. Ich kenne ein paar Typen die würden sogar von der Mutti springen wenn das Telefon [...]

Also re: Fiorina — that’s what happens when you bring up uncomfortable realities in the McPOW campaign. She’s also the one who said the thing about Viagra being covered by insurance cos., while birth control wasn’t, about which follow-up questioning by reporters of McCain produced that embarrassing response of stumbling around and long awkward seconds of dead air.

Hey, I was a member of FFA for a year back in middle school. I guess that makes me overqualified.

Hey, I love cows too. They taste like hamburgers.

I can haz appointment as Secretary of Agriculture?

Or how about Secretary of Defense? I really enjoyed Band of Brothers!

I also enjoy taking a cruise around the countryside with the top down. Can you say Secretary of Transportation?

By: Lesley

Lesley — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 07:47:42 +0000

One of Palin’s appointments cited qualifications on application as a “childhood love for cows” before being hired to be the director of agriculture, earning over $90,000. …

Like the US needs more appointments like these in its future as if it hasn’t already suffered enough disastrous appointments.

Yeah, Carly. I sure hope that $40 million from HP keeps you warm during your next five and a half years in a bamboo cage being tortured.

Perhaps Rugged could drop by and explain how a young “R” knows if they’re gay or not. What do they teach in abstinence class? I believe this is central to my point. Carly is messing with their cognitive dissonance, what with her rather unhelpful comments about how you need people with experience in something at least vaguely related to whatever it is you're asking them to do. While McCain does have his years in the Senate, just like Biden, his legislative accomplishments seem a bit "thin on top", shall we say? So are Palin's, for that matter. Rather unhelpful. And McCain's campaign is admitting as much by getting all pissy about her comments, aren't they?

Lesley,

Doesn’t it make ya all warm and fuzzy?

Cue the McCain/Queen of Hearts photoshop.

“Carly will now disappear,” this source said. “Senator McCain was furious.”

What an ominous couple of sentences.
