3:14 A.M.!!!: WOW, Barry Obama first lets every news network figure out his VP before his “fans,” and then he has the nerve to send the Biden text at 3:14 A.M. IN THE MORNING EASTERN TIME. Good thing we are awake for no reason. And yet: ha ha, “tech-savvy” Barack Obama just woke up his [...]

Oh man, thank you so much Wonkette operative “Dennis” for taking this screen shot of some blog called “Stay Red Kansas” that said it would SHUT THE MOTHERFUCKER DOWN if they were wrong about Evan Bayh being Obama’s choice.

Today has been so fun! In the last however many hours, Tim Kaine, Chet Edwards and Bill Nelson have all been named Barack Obama’s vice president!

MAYBE HE IS GOLFING: “Potential Democratic running mate Gov. Timothy M. Kaine quietly left the governor’s mansion this morning, leaving a gaggle of TV cameras staking out the front door.

As we wait for the wicked nasty response ad about Rezko and Ayers that the McCain team is surely splicing together right now, let’s “read” some tea leaves: “CHICAGO – Barack Obama says he’s decided on a running mate, but he won’t say who.

SPOT THE POOP JOKE IN THIS CLEVER POST: Ew gross: “‘A successful dump,’ [Joe Biden] shouted from his car window when asked if he had anything to report. Earlier, he left with a pile of logs in the back of his truck.” Joe Biden is truly a “regular” guy, wokka wokka!!! [The Hotline]
As you know, the worst mayor ever of anything, Rudy Giuliani, will deliver the keynote address at his party’s convention. Rudy Giuliani is a fucking stupid rat-demon whose pathetic 5th place campaign couldn’t even make it past January after 12 months of exploiting, for political purposes, the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians whose safety [...]
