Final Stretch Election ThreadFollow

That strikes me as fucking insane that this delusion and self-created blindness carried all the way to the top with Romney himself. It's one thing to assume that the campaign and the GOP intelligentsia were just bullshitting the rank-and-file voters with the "we have the momentum and great internal polls" talk but to hear that Mitt Romney actually believed that the Unskewed Polls dipshit was a more credible source than the wealth of real polling data just blows my mind. Thank God that moron wasn't elected. THAT was the hard facts and data driven economic stewardship we had to look forward to?

Rachel is the Democratic version of Hannity.. Can't stand either of them.... at least alone. Together, I can get the whole picture.

We watched that. I love her now.

That, and the Hitler video, are easily the best things I've seen all day.

Three days without a Gbaji sighting. Poor guy must be curled up on the floor sucking his thumb and listening to his new favorite song.

Seriously, you guys didn't know about Rachel before!? I know that technically she's a pundit, but I just have a really hard time seeing her as one. She has a Ph.D. in politics, which she earned at Oxford and she was a Rhodes scholar. Not only is she ridiculously smart, she's gracious. I've seen her interview conservatives before, she very rarely interrupts them, and she never ever yells or screams. I've been watching her show since she got it four years ago. I used to love watching her fill in for Olbermann when he still had a show. He actually was pretty important in helping her get her own show, so I gotta give him props for that, even if he's rather obnoxious.

If the lead analyst is saying Ubekibekibekistan is a small island located 10,000 miles underneath Australia because that's the answer that makes them all feel better in defiance of all the maps, globes and common sense, that's still a bit of a problem

You mean if the information gathering process was somehow politicized and people in power were told what they wanted to hear rather than an objective analysis? Perish the thought. Thank goodness THAT never happens in the Obama administration.

O'Reilly has a segment on my morning radio program called the "Talking Points Memo" in which he sounds like an embittered Andy Rooney, going on about how America is falling apart because boys don't play pick-up games of stick ball in the alley any longer.

After watching the 90 minute debate between O'Reilly and Stewart, I realized that the guy is actually quite sharp. It seems like him being a complete angry *** is probably more for showmanship than actual irrationality. Anger sells for pundits; no one likes a calm, boring persona.

And that Maddow clip was awesome.

I'm amused at how many people (online) are saying Obama's reelection is calling God's wrath down on America. I mean, was Mitt Romney supposed to be some kind of spiritual glass dome that kept us from a rain of fire and brimstone? So many religious conservatives (mostly Evangelicals) seemed to say "I don't care about Romney's religion, I care about his policies" and now turn around and say him not getting elected is a sign of God's disfavor. I kinda roll my eyes and go "Uh, right..."

Eh, he did have that "DO IT LIVE." flip-out. I'm inclined to think that the anger is real.

That is unfair to him because I'm sure everyone has their freak out moment at least once in their life. Although I don't agree with him on varying issues, he is an intelligent person.

And for all his supposed intellect, he's given us two amazing memes in regard to his dismissal of modern science.
