The Waiting Is The Hardest Part
It’s like you’re sitting at the bus stop and you notice a big mound of dog poop on the sidewalk, and then you see Ace all like “O! Solo Mio!” — stage-walking down the street with his arms in declamatory parentheses…

But now the rumours have resurfaced, suggesting that they may be coming from elements in the Republican Party.
Ya think?

Ace: “Not sure if this makes it more suspicious or if I’m now just being silly.”
Let me help ya out there, Ace.
You’re not being silly. You’re being fucking stupid.

Hmmm… Ace claims to have the inside scoop and detailed information on this rumor. I’m going to go with… Ace is a liar.
Did I win?

Is it at all possible that this woman’s name is “Whitey”?? I think that would explain a lot.

Remember no matter what isn’t found on Barack’s credit card receipt, in this woman’s underwear drawer, etc. Ace is the “man” who said the following:
“So while my facts may be off, my conclusions still stand, obviously. If anything, my conclusions are stronger now.”
Like it’s gonna matter in Upper Wingtardia.

My favorite part is Ace’s discovery of the Caribbean connection. She currently lives on an island in the Caribbean. Obama recently vacationed on another island in the Caribbean. Therefore, something or other that’s obvious to Ace.
Dude needs to familiarize himself with a map and some basic information on current patterns of air travel in the hemisphere.

Even the Daily Mail are skeptical.
That’s a pretty huge warning sign that this might be a huge pile of crap. I mean, geeze, thats one step off of Douglas Feith backing the story as true, given the fact-checking abilities and general hatred of Obama the Mail has.

It seems Ace is starting to have some misgivings about spreading this particular rumor if I deciphered this post correctly. It’s hard to say because frankly he really is a rather crappy blogger who makes little to no sense…

That would be the FSCKING tide, wouldn’t it?
Man, I can’t wait for McCain’s economic plan later today. Will he play toward the base, cutting the top tax rate, or will he do something with some populism. Which McCain will we have today?

It’s impossible to say – even he and his campaign staff may not know yet, and once they decide on something, it’s even money that McWorse will have some kind of misfire and bark out something totally different once he’s in front of the mike.

A guy who claims to have knowledge of one liaison has talked, and is willing to talk to media, and in fact has been put in touch with media.
It’s always possible he’ll get cold feet.
I should say: He does not have direct or hearsay evidence, just direct observation of circumstantial evidence.
Umm, the source of the rumor is a guy who saw something that might have been evidence. And he’s willing to talk to the media!

What’s especially amazing is that they seem to think continuing to slime and fling made-up shit is a good tactic. They just got absolutely nothin’ left to do.

I have a friend who saw Ace blowing a goat. But I don’t want to release the goat’s name cause I don’t have enough information to verify it on my own. (but it’s Ann Althouse)

Or perhaps it’s Vicki Iseman.
This is the real problem with the McCain campaign: no matter how hard they try to fuck the rats, they always leave themselves open for a counter-ratfuck.

Eh. A white girlfriend would fire up the base like crazy. This one’s black, so not so much I’m thinking. If he’s got a black girlfriend or three, the racists will be have a harder time making themselves afraid that he’s out to steal their white wimmenfolk.

Yeah, really. Andy McCarthy was reduced to plugging the whole Ayers-ghostwriting flimflam the other day. The entire argument is based on (1) both Ayers and Obama have used water imagery in their books; (2) they both write in a way that one could generally describe as “fierce, succinct, and tightly coiled,” and (3) a misuse of textual analysis tools.

And they seem to think that if they can just find the right piece of feces, it will, like kryptonite, render Obama powerless.
It’s like they get their political theory from Jack Bauer on 24 or something…

From today’s speech on his new economic proposals:
“Investors are always responsible for their investment decisions, but the hard earned savings of Americans should not be penalized by the erratic behavior of politicians.”

Didn’t Obama spend the after-the-primaries in Hawaii? Which is not in the Caribbean? And wasn’t Easter sorta early this year, and even so, wasn’t the last Primary in June, long after Easter?
And, umm… WTF, man, ‘raised millions’? According to even the rag Gavin linked to, she was just a staffer.

Ace and the rest of the wing nut clown show need to find a new dumpster to dive in. All they keep finding is useless turd balls that didn’t stick the first three times they were flung.

It’s like that “Mr Bean” episode where Mr Bean has decided to paint his apartment… and he is holding the tin of paint and the giant firecracker, and smirking at the camera… and we are all shouting at the TV screen, “Don’t do it Mr Bean!!”… but he does it anyway.

So, after reading this and laughing so hard that I’m choking and tears are rolling down my cheeks, the significant other walks by and comments that I must’ve been reading something rather sad. And, in a way, she’s right.

Hmm, sounds like someone is in serious danger of getting a clue:
- but still way more fun than it’ll be the first week of November. Then we’ll all get to see just how chronically turbo-emo Ace & his fellow memetic ticks can be, with Teh Enemy in power.
A comment left for Acey-poo, regurgitated here to make birds sing & babies smile:
This “scandal” proves only one thing.
Desperation is steroids for stupidity.
