So, this was on the cover of the New York Post today:

Uncle George.

Here are the editors at the Post discussing this morning’s layout:

“Okay, so the president just vetoed a spending bill that included a deadline for troop withdrawal from Iraq.”
“Wait. So you’re telling me that President George Bush just vetoed a bill that would have set timetables allowing troops from our depleted military to come home from a mismanaged, unjust war he started using fraudulent evidence?”
“Yes.”
“Well, that is definitely front page news! What are we doing for that?”
“I’m thinking we should photoshop the president’s face on to the Statue of Liberty. And then have the Statue of Liberty riding the back of a giant bald eagle. And in the eagle’s talons there’s a freshly caught trout. But when you look more closely, you realize it’s not a trout at all, but Mount fucking Rushmore!”
“I like it…but it sounds a little complicated. Can’t you just make him Uncle Sam or something?”
“Sure. The subtle approach. No problem.”
“Good. Talk to you later.”
“Heil Hitler!”
“Heil Hitler!”

I’m so glad we’re alive to see what campaigns are like in the 21st century.

I got this MySpace bulletin from Barack Obama yesterday:

“This unofficial profile will be retired shortly”? Who cares whether their Obama myspace is official or not?

Then I got this bulletin from Hillary Clinton:

What a cunt.

We are now officially the largest Myspace profile for any candidate…by using an arbitrary Myspace technicality that we just made up to make this ‘grassrootsy’ campaign seem more 420 chill!

I think it’s sad that Democrats have to sink to the level of engaging in the politics of personal social networking destruction.

That’s why Mike Gravel is my candidate of choice.
