People in Glass Igloos Shouldn't Throw Snowballs

Seven days folks…

A mere 168 hours of campaigning and this election will be in your hands.

I have some grave concerns about Sen. Barack Obama.


I hear from Sarah "Lame and Tall" Palin that he has spent time “pallin’ around with terrorists.”

Specifically, William Ayers…that convicted felon from the Weather Underground who hosted a meet and greet for Obama as well as donating a whopping $200.00 to Obama’s State Senate campaign.

Of course, the convicted felon part is not true of Ayers, but nonetheless, those deep ties of cookies, coffee, and two Ben Franklin’s are pretty hard to swallow.

But then, I thought about the Johnny Mac/Divine Sarah ticket…

Now back in the 80’s, John McCain was pallin’ around with Cincinnati, Ohio native Charles Keating.

Through his Lincoln Savings and Loan, Keating defrauded 23,000 people out of their life savings by selling to them, 288 million dollars in bonds...Worthless bonds.

Convicted of fraud, racketeering, and conspiracy, Keating spent over four years in prison. Damn Johnny, your 80’s buddy was not a good guy…and he WAS convicted.

Funny thing about Keating. His son-in-law was busted over this as well, and served forty months in prison. His name?

Robert M. Wurzelbacher, Jr. Why is this funny?


Well, I can’t find if anyone has mentioned this but, right wing media darling Joe the Plumber’s real name?

Sam Wurzelbacher. Ha!! Coincidence? Does it matter?

I believe that Joe the Plumber is related to the crook, and if I believe it, it’s not a lie.


Johnny Mac, my friend, I wish you would refrain from continuing to pal around with felons and their family members.

Now The Divine Mizz P? A few years ago she was a board member of a 527 political group started by Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK).

In 2006, she gladly accepted his endorsement for her gubernatorial run in Alaska. In fact, in the following campaign commercial, she is drunk with Hockey Mom giddiness as Sen. Ted “The Felon” Stevens endorses her…


Well, Gov. Palin, Sen. Teddy Bear was convicted yesterday on seven counts of corruption and lying. All felonies, babe.

You have been pallin’ around with an octogenarian Senator who accepted a quarter of a million dollars of free, yet criminal, home redecorating courtesy of VECO Corp.

Did you two relax in Ted’s free hot tub? Did you nosh on Alaskan King Crab and Champers on his free wrap around porch? Did you two kids turn up the heat on top of his shiny, new, FREE Viking stove?

I think you did, you know why? Because I believe it.

Man, is guilt by association one bad-ass bitch, or what? You Betcha!!


Cheers!!

I have to admit that $200 donation from Ayers had me worried. That was obviously drug money and if Ayers is willing to give up a months worth of pot...something is up.

Schmoop said...

Knight: Once again you offer clarity. I had never thought of it in that light. Cheers!!

Dianne said...

just roaming round the tubes, seeking edumacationafying.

so of course I come here

have you ever seen Jon Stewart's routine about Ted Stevens? priceless

Schmoop said...

Dianne: Well I hope that my expose was helpful.. I don't think I have seen that. But his book, "America" is a mainstay in my bathroom. Cheers Di!!

Jay said...

I really feel bad for Stevens.

Wait .. no I don't. ;-)

Alska makes Louisiana look like a nice, clean, corruption-free state.

Schmoop said...

Jay: Yeah it's a darn shame. Poor old fella. Seems like such a likeable guy. The sad thing...he's going to continue to run for his seat. No fuckin' shame. Cheers Jay!!

Dana said...

Guilt by association? Uh-oh ... you better hope Schmoop doesn't start digging through your closet before the wedding, or is that why you cleaned the closet?? Hmmmm ...

Unknown said...

Yep, guilt by association one bad-ass bitch! As is guilt by innuendo.

Schmoop said...

Dana: Hey Now, I'm offended by your innuendo!! I have no terrible secrets. Unfortunately, all of mine are completely in the open. Cheers!!

Nick: And sometimes, sadly, that is the only bullet a campaign has in its gun. Cheers Nick!!

Unknown said...

And usually that one bullet misfires.

Schmoop said...

Nick: And hopefully it will once again miss its mark next Tuesday. Cheers Nick!!

Ken said...

How could we ever be informed voters without you. The clarity you bring to the table is like a nice tingling, morning slap to the face. Thanks I needed that!

Schmoop said...

Micky: Thanks for that encouraging word. And the best thing about my reports? Unlike Cable TV, there are no annoying Viagra ads, or Billy Mays spots. Cheers, Mick!!

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

See this is the kind of left-wing liberal crap that the news media just soaks up.

Neither of these people were left-wing, liberal cry babies...all they did was line their pockets with money. Isn't that the American Way???

I am so sick of your pansy-a** 'end the war' rhetoric...

GO back to Marxist Russia and live on a Commune will ya?

Liz Hill said...

I cannot wait!

Schmoop said...

Bond: If you fail to stop your attacks upon my ideology I will be forced to call upon left wing friends over at PETA and have them protest outside your home until you refrain from choking your chicken. Cheers Comrade!!

TB: Me neither. I will hold my breath; hope for the best, and revel in the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the right wing idealogues should Obama pull this out. Cheers!!

Phfrankie Bondo said...

...wasn't that wurzelbacher and schnitzel I had for dinner last night?....

Schmoop said...

Phfrankie: Actually, I think you got drunk and had gay Teutonic sex and had Wurzelbacher's "Schnitzel." Achtung, Baby!! Cheers P-Man!!

Desert Songbird said...

That's why it's called ASSociation. When one ASSociates, it can't help but make one's ASS look bigger.

Leighann said...

My eight year old asked me the other day "Mom, who are you going to vote for?"

I said "I don't know, either Matt-Man or Mickey Mouse."

She replied "Mom, don't waste your vote, at least flip a coin and hope for the best."

Ah.... who can argue with the voice of reason?

Schmoop said...

Leighann: Vote for me. Mickey may have big ears, but I have a big di...Nevermind, his ears ARE bigger. I concede to the Mouse-Man. Cheers Leighann!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

Hey! What's wrong with communes? I grew up in a commune! And I have strong WU ties myself so Matt Man your campaign is toast ;)

Oh and 20 bucks won't even get you an oz of the good stuff :P

Ed & Jeanne said...

Funny...I pal around with rich people and I don't seem to be rich as a result. How does all this work again?

Marilyn said...

Politicians are liars and cheats by definition but wasn't Palin herself found guilty of corruption in the troopergate thing?

That's beyond guilt by association. That's just plain guilt. I don't care what she wears if the republicans want to pay for it, but I do care if she's been found guilty of corruption.

Schmoop said...

Starr: I love communes. So much free love. Cheers!!

VE: Let me tell you, even if you merely hang out with rich people, you my good man, are an elitist. Cheers!!

Marilyn: By that statement you have confirmed that you are an America Hater. You should be banished from this God Given Country. Cheers!!

Anndi said...

And sometimes, sadly, that is the only bullet a campaign has in its gun. Cheers Nick!!


And here I was thinking she was all gun-savvy and all...

desert rat said...

Knight: A month? Man, $200 bucks doesn't buy as much weed as it used to.

Always a joy, Matt-Man!

As American as Apple Pie said...

See, why do I need the news when I've got you? I can't wait for this thing to be over. We have been totally innundated with commercials here in NC. 2 out of 3 are some politic or another. I get at least 2 mailers each day. I could wallpaper my living room with them. UGH!

I'm early voting later this afternoon. Should be interesting.

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

How can I make you a nice pot of soup if I don't choke the chicken to kill it?

Schmoop said...

AnndI;; I know. But much like VP Cheney she can't shoot straight. Cheers!!

Rat: You adorable pot head you. Cheers Rat!!

Apple: Well no matter for whom you vote, good for you. Have fun at the polls. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Bond: My soup requires no chicken. I eat borscht only. Cheers!!

cathy said...

Barack Obama... is it just me or does his name sound like a fruity beverage with an umbrella in it?

Schmoop said...

Cathy: Would you like some champagne dear? No thanks honey, I think I'll have a Barack Obama. Cheers!!

Beth said...

Coincidence, I think not. Geez, I hope Ted wins!

Travis Cody said...

I worry, because I'm a worrier.

I worry that folks out west are going to see a lot of early returns, and then they won't go vote.

Our polls in the Puget Sound area open at 7am. And I'll be there in line to cast my ballot. I always feel better when I'm part of the process.

Have a happy final election week!

Schmoop said...

Schmoop: He just may win...Alskans obviously prefer whackjobs. Cheers!!

Travis: I hear ya. I always worry about westerners staying home because of election day reports. Schmoop and I are going to be at the polls as soon as they open and then go have breakfast. Cheers to ya!!

Desert Songbird said...

I done voted. I put my ballot in the mail two weeks ago!

Cinnamon Girl said...

My ballot was turned in today. I am gonna make sure the Ex turns his in. Last election I had to go get his and turn it in.

I am also volunteering for the phone banks on Sunday for a 4 hour shift.

Oh and so far 522,188 votes were received up through yesterday. The Obama folks here are very very motivated.

Schmoop said...

Songbird: I thought about it but I enjoy waiting and going to the polls on Election Day. Cheers!!

Starr: Well I hope the enthusiam is the same across the land. Cheers!!
