It’s Smarmy and Smirky ‘08!

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 23, 2008 09:20 AM

Scroll for updates…3:03pm Eastern Obama takes the stage in Springfield IL as U2’s “Oh, You Look So Beautiful” plays…so humble…Obama: “Joe Biden is that rare mix. He has brought change to Washington, but Washington hasn’t changed him…He’s stared down dictators…He is uniquely suited to be my partner as we work to put our country back on track…He is one of the finest public servants of our time.” Obama touts Biden’s blue-collar background, Catholic background, his stutter, his family tragedy (the car accident that killed his wife and daughter), brain aneurysm…(Obama neglects to mention his two losing presidential bids)…Biden will deliver “straight talk.” Heh. That’s the danger, isn’t it?

And now, let me introduce to you…snort: First gaffe of Obama-Biden ‘08!

He said he “wasn’t the guy.” Starting his VP candidacy off with a lie.

Let the fun begin.

The Springfield, IL announcement takes place at 3pm EST. Video clips and any gaffes from the gaffe-tastic duo will be here.

The McCain camp was ready.

Oh, and so much for the Magic Text Message, which, as Ed Morrissey points out, arrived at 4:50am Eastern. Now, we know what the text message sign-up was really about. Not about being all-inclusive and galvanizing the hip kids with cool technology. It’s a mega-fund-raising call list, as commenter Gwillie points out.

Head fake.

Question from the McCain camp: Why 3 am?

Bob Owens has the new Obama-Biden campaign poster. Har.

    According to the DemocRATS, if I don’t vote for BO, the only reason is racism and this will result in the UN nations fearing America.
    The Liberals DemocRATS have stated 100X times already that I am a racist because: I am not one of them: I support the actual Constitution; I believe in judging a man on the content of his character and not the color of his skin; I believe we should ask what we can do for our country and not what our country can do for us; I believe in facts, reason, and direct observation and have seen what computer simulations can do – I loved playing a computer simulation called “DOOM;” I believe in God, I believe the all men and women, being created equal, are not capable of handling the excessive power the Federal Government has accumulated and are corrupted by it – just as did the Founding Fathers, and that lower taxes is the best medicine for a critically corrupt government; I believe salvation and hope come not from any man or group of men but from God alone.
    BO is not an honorable man, is not the brightest person in the world, is not a source of hope or redemption, is not capable of “bringing our Nation together,” is not infallible and capable of “multi-tasking” – this was the same BS the Clintons put out in the 90’s. BO is a typical Chicago politician with close personal and political ties to felons, America haters, who uses “science” not to advance civilization but to gain personal power and lower the quality of life for millions, who has lost track of when he is lying. That the liberal media is in love with him is a very bad sign – the media being infested with the dumbest, least educated, unpatriotic, democracy hating, 100% atheist, sleaziest bunch of liers and sociopaths one can imagine.
    BO stinks, Biden is a azzhole, the Clintons are crooks, their supporters are a collection of the mindless, the criminal, the ultra-rich, atheists, socialist/communists, mafia, and the unpatriotic. I want nothing to do with them and I hope they either gain redemption or drop dead.

    Palin comes across as friendly and competent – good traits for debating.

    Agreed! Plus the Hillary backers would love it – the honest ones, not those liars like Steinem.

    She’ll make Biden look like a blowhard sourpuss.

    No need, he does quite well in that area all by himself.

    Bachmann could pull MN for McCain. Norm Coleman could also pull MN and he is a bit more exciting than Pawlenty. I like Palin but AK is not a swing state and she is in the middle of a “contraversy” right now.

    By the time the Autumn of 1,000 cuts is over BHO will be bleeding votes from all over. I only see him getting votes on the left coast and the New England states. Other than that he’s doomed. The more we know about McC the more we like him. The more we know about BHO the less so. Barry is a little boy in a man’s world.

    Listening to what the leftist media is saying about Biden. Is this the same guy who got his butt kicked twice on the national stage and copied stuff word for word and was so “smart” about it he got caught? Gotta wonder.

    I really think Edwards was BHO’s first choice but something went wrong in the basement bathroom of the Beverly Hilton. I mean, who in their right mind would make Biden their first choice? Oh wait, that’s also true …

    Yes, but now the media has the usual case of amnesia and will brush all that aside as the MSM props up “St. Joseph of Delaware” to be the main apostle of the Obamessiah. The remaining11 apostles to be names later

    Caption to the photo of Michelle & Biden on Drudge- they appear to be locked in an embrace- smiling hard like idiots-
    Michelle;
    “Better not f*** this up for me, whitey”

    Biden:
    “Take your hand off my nuts, Sister, my plugs are popping”!

    Excellent! Hey, Michelle, why not start a daily captioning contest? It sounds like great fun.

    Biden is the new “Cheney”?  So says Goodwin of NY Daily News.

    I have not yet spotted any flying pigs.   But of course, THE Obama could always command that occur.

    Biden as the new “Cheney light” is ludicrous …. and describing Biden as such is oxymoron.  From my perspective that insults the word oxymoron.

    Gosh, if ole Joe is elected just what will the Senate do when they lose 3/4 ths of their brain power?

    Just who will take over his doublespeak generator duties?

    Just wait’n for ole Joe’s shallow veneer to wear thin and his loose canon motormouth to engage!
