Way Too Far

I am sick and tired of these gutter politics. These insane, baseless attack ads, these horrid accusations, and these Washington politicians that will say and do anything to win, without any regard for the social fabric of our nation.

Now don't get me wrong. I enjoy the political season. You want to tell me McCain can't send an email. Fine. You want to tell me Barack Obama is a terrorist who wants to molest your children. Fine. But there are limits. And this is just a Bridge to Nowhere too far. The Communist Times is reporting:

Speaking before the Alaska governor was Shonda Schilling, wife of the Red Sox right-hander Curt Schilling. While Curt hasn’t pitched all year because of an injured shoulder, his wife was happy to pitch John McCain and Ms. Palin at Salem High School. She compared supporters of Barack Obama to that most heinous of hardball partisans, Yankee fans (”Boooo”).

“They’re good people,” Mrs. Schilling said graciously of Obama supporters. “They just root for the wrong team.”

Now let's get one thing straight. The BoSox don't support no Palin-McCain administration! The Red Sox believe in the Change we Need, like a Change from the evil of the New York Yankees. Now I'm not trying to claim that the BoSox actively support Obama, but just that the sacred realm of baseball should never be mixed up with the profane world of politics.

Fuckers.

What does this quote mean?

<--What and uncanny resemblance!

NYTimes is running yet another article on the latest opinion polls. I guess they finally realized that numbers don't tell you everything, so they are doing follow up interviews with certain respondents to supplement the polls. Here's what one Obama supporter had to say:

“He’s from Illinois, and I’m from Illinois, and he reminds me of Abraham Lincoln,” said Dylan Jones, 53, a laborer from Oxford, N.C., who was interviewed in a follow-up to the poll. “I can see him out there splitting rails. I don’t have anything against Hillary Clinton, so I guess it’s because he’s new blood.”

Um...did you know Abraham Lincoln? I mean, I'm a fan of the O as well, but he reminds you of Abraham Lincoln? Just how old are you, Dylan Jones of Oxford, NC, anyway?

Seriously, can anyone tell me what this means?

Bonus points for the first one to do a good Lloyd Bentsen imitation.
