All of the week’s partisan bickering and lipstick-related nastiness can’t change the fact that both Barack Obama and John McCain want what’s best for this country, except for Barack Obama. Now we will liveblog the endless string of platitudes and remonstrances to “never forget” that are required of any politician commemorating the day when Rudy Giuliani failed to protect his city from two commercial airliners. CNN informs us that the candidates will not speak together at tonight’s special 9/11 Commemorative Service Forum, which we guess means that one of them will be held in a Silence Cone with a crying bald eagle until the other one is done delivering his canned answers to Judy Woodruff. Let’s roll!
8:00 PM — It’s on, bitches! Service Nation is some bunch of worthless “community organizers,” who have no responsibilities for anything, unlike small-town mayors. Richard Stengel is a comical puppet made out of beige felt.
8:04 PM — And John McCain limps out of his sensory deprivation chamber to an applauding crowd. He visited the 9/11 hole today with Barack Obama! Judy asks him, how can we keep America from forgetting?
8:05 PM — The best way to commemorate service is to serve, or something. This will keep terrorist attacks from happening. Actually, this is sort of true! If you’re a liberal.
8:07 PM — Stengel: Would you have made Americans shop, after 9/11? McCain: I hate shopping. EXPAND EVERYTHING, LIKE THE MILITARY. And neighborhood watches!
8:09 PM — Good God, he just broke out the old “blood relatives and paid staffers” joke AGAIN, and people actually LAUGHED. John McCain will win this election in a landslide.
8:10 PM — “We’re doing well with recruitment.” Really? McCain’s big foreign policy priorities appear to be Afghanistan, and Georgia. Super.
8:11 PM — Remember that time Democrats and Republicans “worked together” after 9/11, when both sides passed such wonderful legislation as the Patriot Act?
8:12 PM — Hell of a softball, Judy. “Do you think your 30 years in Washington give you special insight into what’s wrong with it?” Blowjob will commence with commercial break.
8:14 PM — Ugh, this is so dull. Here, look at this painful YouTube where Sarah Palin makes it abundantly clear she has no fucking idea what the Bush Doctrine is.
8:16 PM — Back to our regularly scheduled snoozefest. How will John McCain make sure America NEVER FORGETS Hurricane Katrina either? Service, of course!
8:18 PM — How do you make sure poor college graduates can go into public service instead of looking for better-paying jobs to help them pay off their debt? He has no answer to this question. Basically, people who want to volunteer will find a way. God, that is an awful response.
8:21 PM — John McCain is part of a Naval dynasty, the likes of which almost no other American family has ever seen. So basically he had to go to Annapolis. John McCain does not care about individuals, only Causes.
8:22 PM — Woodruff: The military is full of poor uneducated minorities, while “children of privilege” summer in the Hamptons. Anything strike you as odd about that? McCain: Well, the draft is worse. He thinks the military is too small, and the way to fix that is by making it larger. Jesus. Whoops let’s fixed that open italics tag!
8:28 PM — Gaah we need beers beers beers over here, and a whiskey, up. THESE BEERS IS MINE! John McCain goes blah blah blah about Americorps. City Year kids are in it for the jackets, not the money!
8:30 PM — Would you spend $3 billion on a national service initiative? McCain: Hmm, how many houses is that? Can we just make the churches take care of that stuff? Yeah, let the churches do it.
8:32 PM — McCain tells the puppet that yes, he would have a cabinet-level position for service.
8:33 PM — Woodruff asks the “community organizer” question. McCain blames Obama for lowering the tone of the debate by refusing to do town halls, and says Sarah Palin was just responding to attacks on her noble mayoral record when she shat all over community organizers in her VP acceptance speech. And then he concludes by suggesting Judy Woodruff is being terribly partisan for even asking the question. What a shitsack this man is.
8:41 PM — What should OLD PEOPLES do to contribute to America? McCain proposes, basically, taking many deposed Fortune 500 crook/CEOs and make them …. then he pretends to fall asleep, and everybody laughs nervously.
8:42 PM — So, asks Judy, how do you compel people to participate in community service when they have zero time or money to spare because they are all foreclosed overworked drones, or even worse unemployed? McCain says, Restore people’s faith in government. Somehow this will magically give them more time and money to volunteer.
8:44 PM — Juan McCain will give everyone with a PhD a green card.
8:45 PM — Woodruff: What does “exceptionalism” mean, and are Americans just better than everyone else? McCain: This is not a terrible answer, he is basically like, We are founded on principles. He does NOT want to denigrate any of the other terrible nations of the world that are not as unique and exceptional as the USA.
8:47 PM — “Let’s talk about the Framers for a second.” McCain will be able to provide his own personal recollections of his halcyon days getting hammered and going whoring with Ben Franklin, wokka wokka. John McCain dismisses all the foulness and lying and petty bullshit of the past several months by saying, campaigns are “rough.” Ugh, when will this awful creep fall asleep again?
8:50 PM — A very rushed answer about how we are a nation of diverse immigrants. Hurrah, this portion of your evening is OVER. Now go to Fox News post haste and watch this program on fat people walking through walls. Or go look at Jim’s liveblog over here.

McCain could sit in a cone of silence in the audience if he just turned down his hearing aid.
Is Walnuts going to apologize for letting Mother Sarah & Giuliani eviscerate community organizers? I hope they boo him off the stage!
Service guarantees citizenship!
…WALNUTS! is going first, I guess the limousine of of solitude is out of commission.
Okay, I’ve got an unopened bottle of Bombay Sapphire. I’ll take a sip every time someone mentions 9/11, and expect to be dead of alcohol poisoning in 20 minutes.
[re=93472]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: His proposal will be to give community organizers a little responsibility, to wild applause.
Is that a growth on WALNUTS!’s cheek, or has he been blowing the president harmonica style too long?
Sorry Sara, no snark from me. I lost someone 7 years ago today, inappropriate for snark.
I hope someone asks about whether McCain will bring back conscription (that’s a form of national service) when he declares war on Russia based on Sarah’s advice.
John McCain’s chair has trucknutz.
A volunteer organization to ensure the security of our nuclear plants? Did he just say that? Really?
Sarah Palin just became “the smart one” again.
Black people: Community Organizers.
White people: Mayors.
…did WALNUTS just suggest that civilians should be maintaining security at our nuclear power plants?
9/11 5.5 years 9/11 5.5 years 9/11 5.5 years uh uh uh overload
I wonder how it’s working out with us “extending” our freedom to Iraq. Anyone heard anything on that?
I thought community organizers were devil worshippers with no executive experience. Why are they having this forum? More Caribou Barbie! She’s fuuuuuuunny.
Is he going to roll out his plan for extending freedom to Red Russia tonight?
[re=93481]bc[/re]: Wow your comment is a totally a reminder of how exploited 9/11 9/11 9/11 has been, because it basically says “remember when we were all together and trying to overcome a horrible loss?” before it became, well, you know….
[re=93480]SuperRounder[/re]: Now that you mention it, I literally cannot focus on anything except McCain’s left cheek. It looks like it’s about to secede from his face and demand a seat at the UN.
forget what?
Are they drinking water out of a wine glass?
Serving is also going to help the people of a little country called Georgia. Gotcha.
…“Digging for the pony”?Did he just admit to killing Anne Coulter?
R.I.P. “Dissing”
I can’t believe he just used that word.
I believe that Americans now are ready to be inspired… which is why I’m going to send them to die in Georgia.
Uh Walnuts is going on about needing to change WA, turning the page, etc. Does he realize he’s been in WA for 35 years?
…yeah, he does know where the problems are! Because he caused them!
He is right about better service…the restraunts in DC are so fu*cking slow..wakka wakka wakka.
Alright, it’s clear that John McCain sees government programs that encourage non-military service as pork. Also, he just implied that Russia’s invasion of Georgia has made people hopeful.
Young people of America: You will die on a (quickly thawing) frozen wasteland if you elect McCain president. Know hope.
commercial break…go change your depends johnny boy
Italics tag!
“I would call on volunteers to run around in a clockwise circle to counteract the effects of hurricane Ike.”
Say, everything’s all slanty, like an Asian person’s eyes.
dont you just love (Dame) Judy Woodruff?
she’s great.
gah…the italics! make it STOPPPP
I’d given Walnuts five minutes until he mentions oh, by the way–did I mention I’m a hero? Stengel did it for him, so there you go.
I agree with Tex B. –will either of these people have the integrity to ask about the way his party belittled community service? OR the fact he favored attacking Iraq, what, 30 minutes after the dust settled.
One of the more disgusting things about the Rs–and disgusting has lots of competition in the GOP, is their shameless exploitation of 9/11. It was the best thing that ever happened to them–piling on the tragedy for the world.
This is like Poppy Bush’s Thousand Points of light, all over again. Except when the volunteers are community organizers, in which case they’re COMMIES.
Wal-mart should have been in charge of our Katrina response.
This talk about how we need to go to war against Russia will do wonders for recruitment
…what a fukking shythead! He just said the reason why supplies didn’t get to Katrina victims is because FEMA needs to be privatized.
[re=93514]crossapply[/re]: The italics help us to Never Forget. Also, 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11.
please, everyone, due respect to rich people. due respect.
The poor make the best volunteers. The 13th amendment’s days are numbered.
This is a circle jerk. BORING. Meaningless, and deeply apolitical.
WTF–Did he just say he doesn’t like to talk about his war experience?
You’re shitting me.
Nam reference! Drink!
I tuned out for a while to go watch the Youtube of Sarah Palin looking dreadfully unqualified. Is he just repeating parts from his acceptance speech word for word now?
Katrina, and disasters in general, call for more business involvement (read: blackwater’s mercenaries) to protect all the luxury condos we assume?
Oh, there goes the ‘my daughter graduated from this school’ shout out.
We’re having difficulty recruiting because we’re too small! Wait, what?
Isn’t Columbia a private institution? Can’t the decide what and what is not allowed on their own grounds? Fuck you, douchebag. Fuck you.
…ummmm, that made absolutely NO SENSE! The reason why there aren’t enough soldiers is because the military is too small? Huh?
he bores me.
I can has Italics?
Oh I hate this audience! First round of applause: get ROTC onto Ivy League campuses, so rich white kids can become officers and boss around the poor grunts.
I agree that they should let ROTC on Ivy League campuses. The American military needs more Nate Ficks.
maybe if your army didnt kick out the geyz, the rotc could be on cmapus
[re=93524]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: I just about spit out what I was drinking when WALNUTS! said we needed MORE disaster capitalism the likes of which were showcased in Naomi Klein’s Shock Doctrine.
[re=93524]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Well, apparently government fucks eeeeeeverything up. But in his defense, five and a half years!
Jesus, this is awful.
You can put lipstick on a pig, but guys who wear lipstick still cant join the military.
why does john mccain hate the americanization of gulags?
Damn it, someone has already made the mandatory Starship Troopers reference.
“There are so many ways to serve this country, so many of them noble… except for community organizers!”
I’m with SuperRounder. Wish I didn’t have 32 years sober so I could finish off the gin. Even Walnuts isn’t going to make me start over. Thank god there’s Lunesta or my anger would keep me sleepless for 50+ days.
Right. Now he’s saying community service is great. Except if you’re running against him.
I am glad to see that big government is okay, sometimes.
There are so many ways to serve this country, and so many ways that are noble… unless you’re a black community organizer, in which case I will send my VP to personally spit in your face.
A-hole, non-government volunteers are called COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS.
[re=93552]Twinkle Twinkle Lil Star[/re]: You’re welcome
Awww, how cute, McCain is willing to hire Obama for a job that doesn’t exist. He’s bipartisan!
…I’m tired of this privatization bullshit. Why does everything have to be profitable?
here comes the palin comments… bring it on bitch
Yeah Judy, stick it to him over Palin’s comment. Be a liberal media!
Snaps, Judy. Will she let him get away with it?
[re=93557]jagorev[/re]: jinx!
Obama gets to be the Secretary of Community Service? So I guess that takes care of the token black cabinet member.
[re=93562]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: It’s what Reagan would have wanted. And Reagan = Jesus. Why do you hate Jesus, you Muslim?
That Sarah Palin Youtube reminds me of Ms. South Carolina and her “Iraqi’s don’t have maps” comments.
“This is a tough business…” OH WALNUTS!
YES THANK YOU JUDY WOODRUFF FOR BRINGING THAT UP
[re=93546]AmericanValues[/re]: [re=93547]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: …well FEMA was working perfectly fine before George W. Bush put a fukking imbecile in charge of it!!!
[re=93557]jagorev[/re]: After seeing Gibson’s interview, I’m not positive she could even get that right. That involves sense of direction and basic knowledge of fluid aerodynamics, right?
Thanks for that Bush Doctrine bit. Is that like a live-blogging Easter Egg? Sara, you’re like some kind of Coen Brother. Now I don’t feel guilty for getting drunk during this thing…….
“I think small-town mayors have lots of responsibilities… like hiring and firing of people…”
especially firing of people. When they piss you off.
OK, I’m officially puking. Set aside partisanship… righto, jerk.
PALIN up!
Woodruff with a fastball @ Palin’s attack on Obama’s community organizer days.
Answer: “well, that obama boy didn’t want to debate me in townhalls or something… lets not be partisan…blah blah”
rating: FAIL.
Oh, Walnuts sleaze campaign is all Obama’s fault for not agreeing to campaign Walnuts way.
Fuck, I hate this guy. I hate this party. I fucking hate, hate, hate them.
Our prayers are with Teddy–for him to never return to DC.
he just said he’s out of touch with people’s daily needs and concerns?
HE JUST SAID HE’S OUT OF TOUCH WITH PEOPLE’S DAILY NEEDS AND CONCERNS!
…so now the reason why Sarah Palin carried on like a sour old b%tch during the Republican Convention is because Barack Obama wouldn’t go on tour with you? Somebody needs to get this guy his meds, because his talking points aren’t making any kind of sense.
“8:33 PM — Woodruff asks the “community organizer” question. McCain blames Obama for lowering the tone of the debate by refusing to do town halls, and says Sarah Palin was just responding to attacks on her noble mayoral record when she shat all over community organizers in her VP acceptance speech. And then he concludes by suggesting Judy Woodruff is being terribly partisan for even asking the question. What a shitsack this man is.”
what the fuck, seriously.
[re=93581]onehotdisaster[/re]: …correction: EPIC FAAAAAAAIL!!!
My only wish is that this was being broadcast onto every TV in the country, even the ones that aren’t turned on, like North Korean state radio. For the moment, between this and Palin’s epic Gibson fail, I am un-fatigued.
I know this is mean & petty, but watching this, I never realized how huge Walnuts’ walnut is. Is it getting bigger? Have we been to the oncologist lately?
I can haz mooseburger?
[re=93584]askforgiveness[/re]: I Hope the Obama campaign is making an ad with that quote as we speak (post).
Pelosi is on C-SPAN now talking about the “hawsh awtiwewwy of time”.
Is she recovering from a root canal?
[re=93576]Twinkle Twinkle Lil Star[/re]: or just using the threat of firing you to put political pressure on LIBERAL librarians to ban books that are not PRO moss huntin’ and anti-fetus killin’
[re=93584]askforgiveness[/re]: Cue up DNC attack ad in 5, 4, 3…
…have ever told you guys how much I HATE Boone Pickens?! What kind of fukkin name is Boone? It sounds like he should be chopping down trees or a member a meth dealing biker gang or something.
You people do realize that Fox is currently airing a show called “Hole in the Wall” where fat people have to fit through small holes in a wall?
Plus, national service is totally gay.
This is a colossal waste of time.
[re=93591]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: IT IS! I JUST GOT HOME AND TURNED IT ON AND OMG I THINK IT’S ALIVE!
Yeah, zzzzzz is right, douchebag.
Okay, I just lol’d when he pretended to fall asleep.
He was pretending, right?
senior-core. sounds nasty. saggy skin, loose balls.
[re=93576]Twinkle Twinkle Lil Star[/re]: or just using the threat of firing you to put political pressure on LIBERAL librarians to ban books that are not PRO moose huntin’ and anti-fetus killin’
[re=93591]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: …the reason why it looks larger is because he is baby sitting Trig in it!
alright enough already..when is sambo coming on?
[re=93600]Waldo Geraldo Faldo[/re]: Yes, that is what all the people who SHOULD be seeing this, are watching. Only elitists are seeing this, sadly.
If this dumb fuck and his whiny bitch win this election I’m going to commit suicide. Except I’m in rural Oklahoma, so it would be kind of redundant.
All you people who are working three jobs should still be finding time to volunteer! Slackers.
…WALNUTS! takes the whole concept of “talking in circles” to an entirely new level!
thanks for the “hole in the wall” tip, though i’m sad to see the sweet georgia peaches didn’t do so well.
Weren’t several of the 9/11 hijackers American educated?
HD is not the most pleasing way to view wrinkly 18th century John McCain.
This is terrible. I’m going out. Peace, lovelies.
McCain wants to send volunteers to spread a message of peace and goodwill to the world, and invite the world to come here and visit us and become permanent residents? Why the hell did the Republicans nominate this gay liberal?
[re=93600]Waldo Geraldo Faldo[/re]: And it’s fucking great. Makes The Wire look like According to Jim. Rerun’s daughter is on!
Let’s not send money to countries that hate us. Instead, let’s send people (potential hostages) who will spend money, to countries that hate us.
Also? You know what happens when people from other countries come here and get educated, and then take that knowledge back home with them? THEY DO OUR JOBS WHEN THEY ARE OUTSOURCED, YOU FUCKING FUCK.
Yea I know theres lots of poor bitterz….but Im more worried bout whether or not people trust the gubament to waterboard them the right way..for five and half years
Service, like when my wife ran that medical charity where she got all the free drugs she wanted…err did I say that out loud?
Walnuts just said furreners who earn PHds in the US should ‘probably’ be allowed/encouraged to stay in the US after receiving their degree. That’s the sound of Lou Dobbs’ head exploding.
We should require people to have a license to reproduce and for them to get that license? Military service. That will take care of the Palin kids.
Ok. I just had to make another “Starship Trooper” reference. I’m sorry.
We are the only people in the world who care about people being equal.
[re=93541]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: It makes perfect sense. Like the chicken crossing the road to get to the other side.
Wait- it is easy for him to go to Washington and stay detached from the day-to-day across America? Anyone catch that? Soundbite alert- hello Obsama campaign!!!!!
“Do you think that makes America better?”
“I think it makes America exceptional.”
Isn’t that, you know, kind of the same thing?
We are exceptional! Wait. Is that code for “special”?
I don’t want to denigrate other countries, but they’re just not as nice as we are.
Christ, I did not get enough booze to get through a full hour of each candidate… I thought it was only gonna be a half hour.
…I can think of plenty of countries that treat their citizens better. How about every European country that provides single payer universal health care for a start!
Is Frank Oz manipulating that male puppet? He sorta sounds like Kermit.
“Biggest voter turnout in history.” Yeah, I wonder why that will be.
…WoooooooW! WALNUTS! is the reason why there is going to be record turnouts?
I hope he interviews me at my house on his tour across America.
Obama isn’t going to go on a town-hall meeting tour with you, John. He’s just not that into you. Stoppit. Stoppit.
WALNUTS, no one wants to travel anywhere with you. Even your running mate is in Alaska. Let it go.
[re=93636]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: France rulez. Universal healthcare. WITH doctor house calls! 37-hour work week and basically everyone takes August off. French fries for everyone!
Did he just give a shout out to immigrants?
Holy shit Walnuts is uncomfortable talking about diversity.
WALNUTS! got mad at that last question.
Heh, heh.
Walnuts just said it’s important to ‘focus on issues & I intend to do that’. Oh & continue to blame Hopey for not going on the magical mystery tour with him for the negativeness of the campaign. That’s the sound of the irony meter breaking.
The Guatemalans are coming! The Guatemalans are coming!
SEND THE MESSICANS TO IRAQ
I bet he didn’t go second because we’re approaching his bed time.
although my dad was in the US Army and he’s still not a citizen
More pro-immigration rhetoric. This is my favorite part of McCain, and it is the single thing about him that his party hates the most. Tells you a lot about the “base” that he’s trying to win over with Palin’s help.
…damn, the cameramen are whooping each others ass to take a photo!
…dont hug him Barry, you have children remember!
I daresay that they like Obama more. Whodathunkit?
God, did you see him trying to run away from the black guy like homeboy was going to steal his wallet?
Walnuts just gave Obama the awkward smile.
Jeebus, they are still clapping for Barry Hopesalot. Huzzah!
…nice response from the crowd!
Hopey is on stage now. The audience & Judy & Rich seem a lot happier to see him or maybe they’re just happy that Walnuts took his Hai Karate smelling self off the stage.
awe sambo and grandpa werthers hugged
And here I thought American exceptionalism was simply the fact that we don’t play soccer or have a communist party to speak of.
Just woke up–it’s nice to be lulled to sleep by McCain and then get woken up by applause for Hopey.
yeah was the response better for obama than mccain?
this prolly won’t make sense – WALNUTZ seems like a really nice guy, and it’s kinda sad (for us and him) that he will lose the election and die without getting to be prez. could you imagine how much less worse off we’d be right now if ol’ senior skip day bush was out to pasture right now?
[re=93659]noidiotsplease[/re]: Does he have another kind of smile?
…John McCain is weeping in the Straight Talk Express as we speak.
[re=93654]jagorev[/re]: Yeah, if McCain had a party surrounded by like-minded people, he’d be a stronger candidate, but what the RNC showed us was that he’s still surrounded by the same old Republicans.
Heeeeeeey, Obama can’t afford a house! Does that mean he isn’t an elitist?
Three seconds to alma mater reference! DRINK!
Why wasn’t Obama in NYC on 9/11? WHAT DID HE KNOW?
Hopey’s on; time for some intelligent conversation.
Liberal media–they gave him a home court advantage! He already knows the terrain! The next memorial lovefest had better be held in Babylon so McCain has an advantage and this evens out!
[re=93648]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Yeah, the important issues like celebrity, lipstick, etc., etc.
… “Where were you when it happened?”
I thought Barry was the 21st hijacker?! I’m confused now?
…uh-oh a shot over the bow of “W”!
Obama hates the retail industry, apparently. He’d rather try to “improve the country” whatever the fuck that means than to have us all spend money to show the terrorists who didn’t win.
…after watching the first minute of him speaking, I cant imagine why in the hell WALNUTS! would want to go touring around the nation with him having his azz handed to him in every backwater town in middle America?!
Citizenship is about commenting on Wonkette and exercising my 1st and 21st Amendment rights!
[re=93669]nosnikreplliw[/re]: Sorry, but Walnuts has sold his soul to the devil/Rove & gang. I don’t feel sympathy for him at all. If he’d remained true to his integrity, he’d probably be doing a lot better. But the Palin pick & all the negative ads & fake sexism whining….give me a break. There ain’t no crying in baseball or politics.
will that national service credit go for grad school?
[re=93650]tunamelt[/re]: your posta call them hispandex.
hey don’t make military service just something that good small town folks do… it’s what poor urban folks do, too, mr. hopey.
Why is it that 90% of the people I know that have entered military service in recent years have done so only because they had no other options? They were in trouble in school, with their parents or the law and they went in. They became great men and women, but at the time they entered their lives were falling apart.
Is this true for everyone, or is my experience the exception to the rule? Why is it that no one ever talks about this trend?
[re=93713]tunamelt[/re]: Depends. Are you going to help street urchins or go to a war-torn foreign land? If you just couldn’t figure out what to do after college, probably not.
Hey, not a slam. I completely did that. Law school: it’s what you do when you don’t know what to do next.
Fuck me. I left and came back. Had to power up the mac.
Did the assholes on MSNBC actually say that if Obama had done what Walnuts wanted, the “tone” of the campaign would have been sweetness and light? Fuck you, Matthews. Obama forced McCain to wage the dirtiest campaign in presidential history?
Is Walnuts on SNL, or Obama?
[re=93650]tunamelt[/re]: YAS THAT WILL MAKES THEM SORRY.
is somebody organizing a Wonkette debate-watching-and-drinking party in HYC? Cause I sure need one.
[re=93921]Atoz[/re]: NYC, of course. Damn keyboards.
It’s good to have a metaphorical nonpartisan beer together, now and then. Sometimes it might be Bud, sometimes it might be Stella Artois, but it’s always a painful recovery the following morning.
I wish one of the debates could focus on this issue, because Obama owns it.

“Are you saying you think Americans are better than other nations?” –Judy Woodruff, 09-11-08
OMG! They’re back. I no sooner reported The Democratic National Committee consigned to the dumper, than it popped up again at the 9-11 Forum On Public Service & Civic Engagement. Held at Columbia University, Richard Stengel, managing editor of TIME moderated the forum along with PBS NewsHour Senior Correspondent and Political Editor Judy Woodruff, staged by Service Nation, “a new nationwide coalition.” While no relation to journalist Bob Woodruff, Judy is married to Al Hunt executive editor of The Bloomberg News, DC, bureau. Bloomberg also reported that, “she [Sarah Palin] was arrested 22 years ago on a drunken-driving charge.” The next day, Judy Woodruff reflected on the experience with NewsHour’s Steve Goldbloom. Judy, who envisioned a civilian counterpart to the military conceded that while 9-11 might not have been the most auspicious date, the candidates stayed true to the service mission, as if John McCain were somehow onboard with a civilian mission with military authority. Anyway, The DNC reemerged as The [International] Provisional People’s Collective Party, or PCP. And, guess what the PCP has in store for America: Political Officers, Commissars. The title Commissar refers to either a People’s Commissar (government), or a Political Commissar (military). In the Soviet Union, the Institute of Political Commissars was established to control the military. The state security organizations, KGB, etc., and or People’s Commissars also controlled the Soviet Army, together with the entire Soviet State. Compulsory Public Service is the future. All men will be judged politically; anti-Marxist sentiment shall be crushed. But we first require a state organ with which to train the political functionaries who will hold coequal rank and authority. Welcome comrade, to Hillary’s National Public Service Academy: http://theseedsof9-11.com
