Stop smirking, smirky.
Joe Biden called Sarah Palin’s much-needed attacks on Barack Obama’s ties to Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers “malarkey.”
Yeah, “malarkey.”
Tell it to John Murtagh, Greasy Joe:
Today, John M. Murtagh made the following statement on Barack Obama’s relationship with William Ayers:
“When I was 9 years-old the Weather Underground, the terrorist group founded by Barack Obama’s [...]

Greg Ransom e-mailed me the answer:
“The Obama plant was Tom Brokaw.”
Har. Indeed. From my liveblogging last night:

“The first part of McCain’s answer should have been: ‘Well one thing I don’t know is what the hell he just said and frankly, I’m OK with that…’”

I don’t have any prizes to give away, but you get Special MM.com Bonus Points if your insipid question suggestion gets asked tonight.

For your amusement, here’s the Youth Marchers for Obama video everyone’s buzzing about:

And here’s the vid of pitbull Sarah taking on Obama’s William Ayers’ connection:

Change it. Rearrange it.

Change…the channel.

Baggage.

Plus: More voter fraud advisories.

“Breakthrough.”

Prepare yourselves for a shocking confession.
The ogling, ooh-ing, aah-ing media in the tank for Obama?
You don’t say!

Sour notes.

Easy there, buddy.
Maybe he should read that Independent column to bring his ego down to size.

Smirky.

This explains this.
