2. How much does McCain pay Halperin for his "analysis"? Good grief!
Seriously, this guy belongs on Fox with the other shills.

21. Halperin definitely puts the 'anal' in 'analyze.'
What a tool!

there is no door, and Halperin knows it!

7. A door they intended to open anyway.
Just an excuse; they will open all the doors.

9. I watched this live and was perplexed.
This was a classic scooby doo moment. My head cocked sideways so hard I got whiplash! Apparently, he doesn't see how the keating 5 scandal can be a real problem for McCain.

11. all bark my friends
and no bite. what a bunch of dipshits.

they know they got nothing but innuendo and insinuation on O, so they threaten ominously "we're gonna go to x if O doesn't back off!"

a) your guy made the gaffe. You can't whine about the media using is, it's viralness in youtube heaven, and the fact that only an idiot would leave that on the cutting room floor when it's not O's fault McSame is an out of touch elitist idiot.

b) you can't threaten o with ayers and whatever, because it's a non issue. you've already done all the damage you can do through rumor and insinuation. the facts will only help Obama.

c) thanks for opening the Keating 5 door, the money from saudis for the campaign door, the mafia door, the fraud from charity door, oh where shall we stop?

y'all are all bark and more desperate bark. It's getting funny now.

50/50 election -- ha ha! you wish!

the south is frothing at the mouth to vote Obama in -- I am meeting more and more people here who are voting O. Now if you can't hang onto your racist base, who is left? only the morans who don't read.

at least cokie said something useful this time.

12. Halperin should be required to declare his love for McCain before shows like this
his undying, unending love.

And his racism? This segment was the most bizarre thing I've heard. At least George and Cokie sort of called him on it.

hng the biggest hack of all.

15. It's his way of awkwardly trying to change the subject. His desperation is obvious.

17. Cole just awarded him the McPenis award for meritorious service to McCain's scrotum
http://www.balloon-juice.com/?p=11134
Move over, Jake Tapper. Mark Halperin has outdone himself today, claiming that the McCain housing gaffe is bad for Obama.

No. Seriously:

For service to the cause, it is with much pride that I award you the Second Golden McPenis, for meritorious service to McCain’s scrotum. Well done, Mark. You earned it.

20. Obama has been charged with being elitist
This seems like a logical response.

Question : How many homes do you own?
Answer : Gee, I don't know, I just can't keep track.

I'm paraphrasing, but if you don't know how many houses you have, that is pretty darn elitist.

This guy is grasping at straws. He knows the attacks are lined up, he's just trying to find an excuse to blame the mudslinging on Obama.

22. I could see worms coming from Halperin's mouth as he spoke.
The Republican's have taken good care of that fish.

That's a pretty neat trick.
