Seriously, How is this not politically motivated?

Steve Schmit: "Boss, the Washington Post is about to release a poll saying 52% of Likely Voters support Obama because they trust him on the economy."

John McCain: "But don't they know that the fundamentals of our economy are strong?"

SS: "Uh, Senator... I think you got the wrong talking points... (shuffles papers) Here's the one you've been using since last Tuesday.

JMcC: "Right. Um, yes I see. What do we do now?

SS: "You need to be seen as decisive, wanting to change the economy. This past week has killed us so we need to get on top of it. How's the debate prep going Senator?"

JMcC: "The naps have been keeping me refreshed! Did you know that Czechoslovakia has democratically elected government now?"

SS: (Sighs) "Yes Senator, from 1989 until it broke up in 1993."

JMcC: "It broke up? Huh. What's that buzzing sound? Is that your Blackerberry that I helped invent?"

SS: "My Blackberry. Yes it is. (answering blackberry) Yeah.... Are you F**king kidding me? Run those number again. Our internals can't be that bad!"

JMcC: "What's going on? Someone tried to ask Sarah a question again?"

SS: "No, I just got the preliminaries on a poll we put in the field yesterday... I know it was bad, but not that bad... How can we staunch the bleeding? F**k! (Blackberry buzzes) What now?! (Checks SMS) Has been nodding off during prep... Unfocused, rambling answers...Need more time. More Time! The F**king debate's on Friday!! What the F**k!"

JMcC: "Steve, my friend. I've got to go to the little maverick's room to drain the lizard. Can we take a time out while I do that?"

SS: "Sure Senator. (looks down at blackberry. Then inspiration and head jerks up.) Time out!! That's it! You're brilliant Senator! We'll suspend the campaign to focus on the bailout! We'll look like we're taking command of the economy and we can hold off on the debate and get more time for prep! Yes!!!"

JMcC: "Wha..."

Hey Brother, Can you Spare $700 Billion?

What a crazy week. From Lehman Brothers to Merryl Lynch to AIG. It has been non stop bad news. That is until the bailout proposed by the Bush Administration. The largest bailout in American history and an expanded Treasury Department. I mean what a way to leave office, two wars and an economic crisis that reverberate for years. And lets continue on this path with John Bush or George McCain or whatever.

WTF.

Really? I mean how desperate are you when the bottom of the ticket is generating more excitement within your base than the top. It's almost subliminal to the social conservatives.

"Vote for McCain/Palin because you know that guys ain't gonna last and she'll become President! So grit your teeth and think President Palin in your heads when you go in that booth. She's one of you and she'll make sure that all schools teach Creationis-Intelligent Design. That Global Warming is a myth cooked up by Algore and his lesbian supporters and that Polar bears are #1 threat to America. Why? Because they are godless killing machines."
