John Dickerson over at Slate.com describes the angry crowd at a McCain town-hall meeting in Waukesha, Wis., on Thursday:
“It was tempting to characterize the mood in the room as “bloodthirsty,” what with all of the calls for attacks on Obama.”
This follows a Sarah Palin rally in which someone yelled out about Obama, “Kill him!” It appears the GOP is so desperate that they’re embracing sex appeal and violence (or any means necessary as Malcolm X said) to get into the White House.
On a lighter, yet more full-bodied note, The Onion reports that Barack Obama has secured the critical Joe Cabernet Sauvignon vote. According to an Onion report, “‘Once again, Obama has proved his ability to speak directly to all the regular truffle-oil-guzzlin’, Nabokov-readin’, opera-attendin’ folks who play such an important part in deciding this election,” MSNBC commentator Chris Matthews said of the Illinois senator’s strong connection with the nation’s hardworking gallery owners, literary critics, and gourmet-cheese purveyors.” Phew! Thank God!
