Maybe the mainstream media are growing tired of hackneyed images of Barack Obama appearing in Christ-like poses, because now the Obama-friendly scribes at Rolling Stone have crafted an even more preposterous way of peddling the junior senator from Illinois: his image on a magazine cover devoid of any headline.
Yes, the cover of the most recent edition of Rolling Stone features a giant picture of a grinning Barack Obama without any headline attached to it. It is the second Rolling Stone cover for Obama in just a matter of months, following up on a cover that portrayed Obama with an otherwordly aura emanating from behind him.
Sen. John McCain is still awaiting his first Rolling Stone cover and the editors can't use age as an excuse. After all, Keith Richards has appeared there numerous times.

I thought he kicked that habit. Or...maybe only those who roll'em will vote for him. But is that 50% +1 in today's society?
Hey, Mr. McCain, real Republicans know they must fight the other side to win! Stay out of our way!

June 25, 2008 - 17:07 ET by motherbeltApparently Jon Stewart told some jokes about Obama the other night. The audience tittered nervously, and Stewart said "It's OK to laugh at him, you know."
And because he dared to criticize the Hopeful One, he got walloped in the Huffington Post (what a shocker.)
Check out this story and the picture is worth a thousand words.

I want to get my picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone
June 25, 2008 - 15:17 ET by AndersonI think one of the prerequisites of appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone is to have at least a modicum of personal charisma, vivacity and/or sex appeal, which might explain the un-noteworthy absence of one John McSame. Even George Bush made the cover, although granted they did spice it up a bit with a few titles (see below). http://wizbangblog.c...

McCain in bed with lobbyists. Literally.
June 25, 2008 - 18:04 ET by AndersonI think the story about McCain bedding down with telecommunications lobbyist Vicki Iseman can easily be understood. McCain traveled frequently with Ms. Iseman and so it is understandable that, given the similarity in Vicki’s and Cindy’s appearance (heck, even their names sound the same!), he just made an honest mistake. Remember the old hillbilly joke “I didn’t know it was my sister until the lights came on”? Same concept here.
http://www.esoterically.net
http://www.huffingtonpost.com
Men, if you woke up in the dark of night lying next to one of these wealthy blond vixens, would you know the difference? Would you care?
Now, his writing letters on Ms. Vicki’s client’s behalf to the Federal Communications Commission that were rebuked by the commission’s chairman can also be easily understood.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
If you inadvertently bedded down with a lobbyist who looks just like your wife, wouldn’t you want to do the right thing and keep a lid on it? You are riding on the Straight Talk Express, after all!
Can we really trust John McCain when the phone rings at 3:00 AM though? Straight Talk Express answer: Only when the lights are on!
To steal from the Democrat
June 25, 2008 - 18:34 ET by motherbeltTo steal from the Democrat playbook: that is OLD NEWS, they have gone over and over that and come up with nothing.
the NY Times wrote a piece about it, and all they could come up with was someone who heard someone else talking about a rumor of a suspicion...or maybe it was a suspicion of a rumor.....the typical "No 'there' there" story. Long on conjecture and bereft of facts. But you gotta go with what you've got, right?
Shoot 'em all; let God sort 'em out! - Marge Simpson
He said, She said
June 25, 2008 - 18:58 ET by AndersonIt's a great he said, she said story. It will never be proven one way or the other since John, Cindy, Vicki and the rest of the lobbyist community are on the same page. They are in fact all in bed together. Now that's a fact, Jack.
You have to love the photos, though. Personally, I enjoy a little diversity in my innate attraction to women. Most men do. That of course is the fatal flaw in the story as presented. Do you really want to bed down with another woman who looks exactly like your wife? Sounds like your wife? Is rich like your wife?
Welllll, maybe.
McCain was in fact rebuked by the Chairman of the FCC for the letters he wrote to the FCC in support of Ms. Vicki's clients. This happened in 1999, long after the McCain/Keating lobbyist scandal. This is also a fact, Jack. The Straight Talk Express needs to come clean on its long standing lobbyist connections before it gets my vote.
McCain = McSame
I don't understand this
June 25, 2008 - 19:42 ET by FoolicanI don't understand this "McSame" business. Same of what? Same so-called economic troubles? It's Congress that's forestalling supply-side economic tactics as well as oil drilling.

June 25, 2008 - 15:25 ET by motherbeltHe stands up for Rev. Wright, until the heat gets to be too much...then he dumps him. He stands up for Jim Johnson, until the pressure builds, then he dumps him. He says he won't wear a flag pin; gets leaned on, starts wearing flag pin.
But we're supposed to believe he's not about "politics as usual."
Rev. Wright was right: he's just doing what he's gotta do, as a politician.

The headline said "Obama surprises journalists by wearing jeans."
Man, now I wish I had saved that video!
More "down the memory hole" with anything that's disadvantageous to the Obamessiah.
