It must really burn Higby's fat ass, when Joe B. posts a YouTube video exposing what a fool Higby's beloved Sarah Palin really is.

Highy, Haikula and Sarah Palin are you smarter than a fifth grader?

I say we have an "uh" contest between Obama and Mayor Tony. Who wins that one?

Both candidates STINK! But McCain is slightly more PRO-AMERICA than Obama.

We have to vote for the lesser of two evils...and that would be McCain (as bad as he is)!

Smarter than a fifth grader before you and your fifth graders start singing again "O lay me down Obama" with some stellar denizens in Brentwood let me 'splain you something about the Blogger platform.

Posts can be composed and scheduled for release later. I put together the Obama "uh" piece before Joe put his video but hadn't published it. When I saw his was up there, I rescheduled mine for a couple hours later to give Joe's the top spot for a while.

I probably shouldn't explain this to you but though we're on opposite sides of the fence, JoeB and I have total respect for each other.

By the way, we're less than two weeks away from the election and other than JoeB and Jim Alger I've yet to hear one Obama supporter actually make points as to why they support Obama that wasn't solely based on bigotry/hate against Palin or the symptoms of being under the Obama spell.

Michael,

I understand you're desperately trying to hang on to any shred of hope you can, but your candidate is running against hope. Barack doesn't use a teleprompter in town hall meetings, sorry to disappoint.

Sorry Jim, that is not accurate:

American Spectator:
"Even in what are staged as “town hall” events for Obama, remarks are scripted or formatted into bullet points that scroll on teleprompter screens. Obama has had several embarrassing events where the teleprompter either malfunctioned or the screens were not fully visible.

“He just locks down and can’t get the words out,” says one political consultant. “For such a fine speaker, it’s really quite remarkable that he’s had issues.”

Obama’s troubles with unscripted moments contributed to his campaign’s refusal to participate in town hall format debates or discussions with Sen. John McCain, who feels much more comfortable in the unscripted moments…"

And from that great pro-McCain/anti-Obama biased news source, CNN:

"CNN) — It appears Barack Obama's teleprompter is hitting the campaign trail.

The Democratic presidential nominee has never tried to hide the fact he delivers speeches off the device, though normally he doesn't use one at standard campaign rallies and town hall events.

But the Illinois senator used a teleprompter at both his Colorado events Monday — making for a particularly peculiar scene in Pueblo, where the prompter was set up in the middle of what is normally a rodeo ring."

Yes a contest between Tony Villar and Obama would be good.

But even Tony Villar would make a better President than Obama.

Higby don't try to explain things to that idiot Alger. He tries to judge other people's intelligence and he misspells and screws up the post. He's paid by BH Obama to post on your blog.

Hey Alger if your Obama guy didn't have a teleprompter so what. He still looks like an idiot in this video. What is he talking about?

Maybe McCain should do what Obama is doing. It seems to be working for him.

12:43 Well, I just couldn't argue with such sound logic. Out of the several public meetings and speeches he gives each day, 7 says a week with every minute televised he delivered a few bad lines.

OK. We all have bad days but the party that has the current Mouthy Marvel in the White House isn't in much of a position to throw stones at a few bad lines. At least it isn't a daily occurrence or a national embarrassment to the degree that Late Night shows do a regular peace on it.

"We want the OBGYN's to practice their love" GWB

Or John McCain "Some democrats have some pretty bad things to say about Western Pennsylvania, and I couldn't agree with them more... I mean disagree"

Gotta love when someone tries to take a cheap shot at their opponent and blows the punch line.
