Blowhard News for Saturday.


More garbage to gasp.
McCain Predicts He'll Overtake Obama '48 Hours' Before the Election John McCain predicted the general election race would come down to the buzzer Friday, declaring himself the underdog but quipping that he’d ride to victory in the last "48 hours." The comment came as new polls show Barack Obama leading nationally and in several key swing states.

Justice Antonin Scalia: Al Gore to blame for 2000 US election mess The 2000 presidential election debacle was the fault of Al Gore, who should have followed Richard Nixon's 1960 example and conceded without legal action, according to the Supreme Court's leading conservative 'judge.' The 2000 coup d'etat, in which Mr Bush was selected, remains a potent source of discontent for Democrats. Last month, Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said that the election had been stolen by "five intellectually bankrupt judges".

Louisiana Governor Jindal Unaware Katrina Caused ‘Major’ Oil Spills In His Own State
While serving in Congress in August 2006, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) slammed the Bush administration for its response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Jindal said the state suffered “trauma” from the “widespread incompetence of the federal, state and local government response.”
But yesterday on Fox News, it was Jindal who was displaying Katrina incompetence. Making a push for expanded offshore oil drilling, Jindal repeated the myth that Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused “no major” oil spills in the state. Jindal called it a “great unwritten success story”:

Q: Real fast, Governor, the price of oil went up five bucks a barrel today. You’ve been drilling off the coast of Louisiana for a number of years. Any oil spills to worry about?

JINDAL: You know, that’s one of the great unwritten success stories, after Katrina and Rita, these awful storms, no major spills.


McCain Jokes About Beating His Wife
As the Huffington Post reported, McCain in an interview with the Las Vegas Sun headed for the gutter while trying to explain why he did not choose Republican Governor Jim Gibbons (now in the midst of a messy divorce and previously the subject of sexual assault allegations) as his Nevada campaign chair:
McCain: I appreciate his support. As you know, the lieutenant governor is our chairman.
Q: Why snub the governor?
McCain: I didn’t mean to snub him. I’ve known the lieutenant governor for 15 years and we’ve been good friends….I didn’t intend to snub him. There are other states where the governor is not the chairman.
Q: Maybe it’s the governor’s approval rating and you are running from him like you are from the president?
McCain: (Chuckling) And I stopped beating my wife just a couple of weeks ago…


Norquist describes Obama as ‘John Kerry with a tan’
Grover Norquist has quite a history of being unhinged. He’s said the Estate Tax is morally equivalent to the Nazi Holocaust; he’s called WWII veterans “anti-American,” and he’s called bipartisanship “another name for date rape.”

But this clown isn’t done pushing the envelope.

Norquist dropped by The Times’ Washington bureau today and, as part of his negative critique of Obama’s liberal stances on economic issues and other matters, he termed the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee “John Kerry with a tan.”

Since Norquist isn’t running for anything, he can get away with such remarks; we doubt McCain will be incorporating the line into his speeches anytime soon.

McCain only dreams of beating his wife now he might beat his girlfriends. McCain's possible VP doesn't know of the oil spill done by Katrina but was voted in office. Some things never change with the USA.

McCain again is forgetting to take is medication. Barr is picking up votes and now there's talk about Hagel running for President. Here in New Jersey McCain started his campaign hoping that White's will not vote for a black man. This is what my eyes have seen in both Jersey and Maryland. People of all color are suffering from the Bush policy. So if Whites want to stay the course and lost what little they have left go down the tubes they will vote for a black or green or orange man/woman to keep their jobs and homes. People of all walks of life are hurting in this recession. Middle America has problems with their kids using drugs more then the inter city.
