This was just too good to let slide, but with all the discussion of the bailout bill and the Vice Presidential debate, it got lost. On last Thursday's The Daily Show, Jon Stewart showed an absolutely schizophrenic appearance by John McCain discussing the bailout to prove once and for all, McCain IS Gollum.
We loves the bill! We hates the bill! We loves the bill… hates the bill!
That’s an unfair joke…it’s an unfair joke because Gollum is an old man, corrupted by his quest for ultimate power and…oh.

Ectually, I think this looks more like Gollum:

(n/t)
there's a financial crisis occurring as we speak.
Down over 700 points.
Can we have another thread about Bill O'Reilly's temper tantrum again.
An O'Reilly temper tantrum is a certainty, like death and taxes.
PS C&L: I like the new format, but I miss the 'refresh comments' button, and I will miss seeing nested comments turning into crude drawings of the space shuttle. :)
They hit it outta the park again at Comedy Central... McSame is Gollum... pitiful old geezer run by his ego and quest for power.
Reworked into a more tellable form:
What's the difference between John McCain & Gollum?
One is an old man, corrupted by his quest for ultimate power, and the other is a fictional character.
McCain is ALSO ‘Theodoric of York, Medieval GOP Candidate’

this was so great.
Like an elderly driver in florida, mccain is all over the road... at least he can say he was for/against the bill... 850,000,000,000usd, and the market is tanking anyway... stock up on canned foods people...
If McCain continues to change course this many times in ONE interview, it's gonna resemble the tailspin his plane took when he augered into that North Vietnamese rice paddy.
Or, the water in the toilet bowl as his campaign goes down the drain...
"Obama phoned it in" This mean, bipolar, old fool is taking all positions and playing it safe on this critical issue as he obviously cares more about winning than anything...truth and honor don't mean jack shit to him or that wicked, smirky, dumb bitch he hand picked. The very desperate Grandpa knows this race is nearly over.
Mc Same talks out of both sides of his asshole just like our current dictator.
it's a hole...so it doesn't have any sides. Just an inside and an outside.
So, John McCain's anus is one-dimensional, just like his ticket? That's appropriate, I guess.
This new website layout really sucks ass compared with the old version.
How about running a poll to ask readers their opinion?

Caribou Barbie is having a grand ol' time while the country goes down the shitter.
is Bush with boobs.
Nicole, why use a serious mental disease as an adjective? I mean, we don't say something "has AIDS" if were trying to say somethings is in a critical state of health, that'd be offensive and flippant, just like your use of "schizophrenic".
Not to mention, schizophrenia does NOT have the symptoms that the author seems to be alluding to.
Multiple Personality Disorder, or split personality is not the same as schizophrenia.
seriously, i wish obama would hire a few of stewart's writers as consultants on his ad campaing.
Obama 50% (no change)
McCain 42% (loss of 1%)
The 10th straight day in which Obama has held a statistically significant lead, per Gallup.com (10/06/08)
Where's that Palin debate bounce John?
Watch the Repuke liars blame this bounce for Obama on how the librul medeea has brain washed our fragile minds...oh yeah and sexism.
perhaps she should have tried something a bit more drastic.
Well, well....aw, shucks and doggonnit!
Looks like Foot-in-heimer (Phutenauer??) is suffering from the same disease which afflicts Carly Fiorina now?? She inserted her foot and reminded people about McCain's "aiti choice" votes in the Senate as well as his transparent attempts to exonerate "abortion clinic bombers"....I'd say that aiding and abetting "homegrown terrorists", woulddn't you?? Here's his voting record evidence!
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/06/mccain-ab...
by doing this...they are trying deliberately to influence the undecideds...by making him appear moderate...but at the same time...McCain can denounce the comments and throw whoever said it under the bus to calm the fundies.
Like every other issue in this election, McCain is trying to have it both ways.
Little Miss Moosey's out there talking about Obama "pallin' around with terrorists when he was 8 years old....nice logic, female fool-tool!
Now we have McCain's recent voting record in which his "anti choice" support of aiding and abetting homegrown terrorists figures prominently.
If they want to bring up Wright, I think they're totally bonkers. McCain has a Hagee problem and Miss Voodoo has her "Voodoo High Priest Toomie to do some 'splainin' about. Aw, shucks! This is getting like shooting wolves from an airplane.

Thanks for the tip, Nancy! Sadly it will cost you your job and career with the McCain "Tanker Express"....
Maybe Nancy P and Carly F can go into business together now?
wow...........the layers of hypocrisy reveal themselves.

P.S. Where's Cindy's tax return????
Maybe he can submit it along with his current medical history???
What did Gollum/Smeagol ever do to Jon Stewart??
Inquiring minds want to know what happened to John McCain's "air mistress" who accompanied him on his campaign flights before Cindy got wind of it.
Rumor has it that she was given dinero and sent off to hide out until after the election. I suspect that she's been disappeared myself. Too damning to McWomanizer's campaign.
I think we need to put out an APB regarding the sudden disappearance of McCain's mistress Miss Vicky Iseman.
P.S. Maybe she's up there in the airspace of America along with Putin?
I am so homesick for the old site, even with its fits and starts. I feel we are all far apart now and just can't seem to talk to one another as we did before.
I'm not bitching, just stating my emotional feelings right now. If the comments were numbered, that would help a little. I also wish we could quote one another as we did before.
I can't even find the Daily show funny at this time.
I feel the same way. I think it is set up this way to save bandwidth.
I just feel it is not as free flowing as it was.
Honestly, no offense to C&L...but this is alot like the KOS format...and I found that format to be very disjointed, and it was not condusive to good conversation.
Definitely a lack of "flow".
I'll try to be patient, but I ain't got too many more months left in me...
I'm not complaining either. I'm just trying to get used to the change, but I'm not sure this is change I can believe in.
Oh, well played, CMINCA...
Not a huge fan of the new comment section either.
...why not a full-fledged discussion board, with user IDs, passwords, search capability, etc.?
I can't seem to get in the grove with this new makeup. I hope they will at least work on the link feature. I tried to use that feature and came up short and I am not sure why. It will take some work and time to get used to this new version.

. . on Wednesday is Michelle Obama.
(per the LA Times)
HOLD ON FOR 5 MORE WEEKS.... it's gonna be a bumpy but FUN ride

I have to 2nd or 3rd the complaint of the new lay out, I had to double check to make sure I was at C&L, it doesn't feel like home. :(
I feel all far removed from you guys for some reason now. It's like we got a new home and we are all way down the hall from one another. It's kind of lonely.
I totally agree, POP.
There's no continuity because it is simply too difficult to go back searching a page to see if someone responded back to you.
The old format not only made it easier to find responses...but it was more condusive for someone to read the entire thread.
And the change happened 30 days before an election.
Would've been nice to wait until Nov.5th to do all this.
Ahhhh...the compartmentalized thinking of the pathologically dishonest! Now, that's entertainment!
I guess the White House is his precious?
Gollum:"We wants our Precious! But Master is in the Precious now....we hates the Master....Master is tricksey!
McSmeagle: No! Master loves McSmeagle Master takes care of McSmeagle...."
McGollum! McGollum!
And just when I was getting used to McSame, the people have responded appropriately to John, new name, McGollum's duplicitous nature. One day this way, next day that way. God dammit McGollum make up your mind. When we put the fun stuff aside, and you look at the real reason for this double message McGollum is putting down, a more sinister plan concerning the so-called "Bailout" comes forth.
From the start, the Republicans have been playing a game with the Bailout. On two occasions, they made Nancy Pelosi look stupid by letting her bring a bill to be voting on only to see it fail. Yes, the Republican from congress lead Pelosi to believe she had enough votes to pass a bill. In the end, the bill failed and highlighted a Pelosi alliance with George Bush on this issue. Today, while watching David Gregory, a Republican strategist made that very alliance connection.
When I see McGollum seeming confused about an issue that he says he is for on one day and wishes it fails the next day, I see a natural tell all posture McGollum cannot shake. Another analogy would be McGollum has stolen cookie crumbs all over his face.
So far, the McGollum camp cannot do anything right. Everything they do ends up being a problem for them. And just think, they thought Barack Obama would be a push over. I bet they now wish they had Hillary Clinton in his place. With Clinton, they would of had a little more history to tear apart. As it stands, Obama has not been around long enough to give McGollum and the Republicans a advantage.
You can find out about the real Sarah Palin here.

Well, I certainly agree that the unitary executive must be destroyed, because it would corrupt anyone who tried to use it, but I don't think simply chucking it into a volcano is going to be sufficient.
The analogy holds up quite well to that extent though - one of the main points of LotR was that *nobody*, even the most wise and good, could be trusted with the power of the Ring. Our government was founded on a quite similar belief about absolute political power.
P.S. I've loved TDS's ability to show people contradicting themselves for a while now, but I think this was the best example ever. It's honestly like he doesn't know what a recording device is and that he might be subjected to one, or has no memory of what he said from one minute to the next and can't even *try* to make it consistent.
Could you please not use the word "schizophrenic" to describe weird or bad behavior? Schizophenia is a major biological illness of the brain that afflicts one percent of all Americans, one per cent of people worldwide. Twice as many Americans have schizophrenia as have Aids, and while the stigma against Aids has lessened thanks to public education, the stigma against major mental illness continues unabated. Our own National Institutes of Health spends about $79 per victim on research to cure schizophrenia and over $2,000 per victim on research to cure Aids. No one begrudges research dollars to help Aids victims or victims of other ailments, but major mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, should be given a higher priority in terms of research dollars. These illnesses, are amenable to cure if we can find the right drugs and learn to use them effectively. Current medications have helped considerably, but there is much research to be done.
Meanwhile, schizophrenia is in many ways as or more dangerous than Aids.
About 10 percent of victims commit suicide, the life expectancy of others is shortened considerably as the illness puts its victims at risk for dangerous, diminished lives. Aids victims taking medication can hold jobs and have fulfilling relationships. Even the semblance of a normal life is impossible for the majority of schizophrenia victims who often end up as homeless on the streets.
Please show some compassion for those who suffer this devastating ailment and for the families who must do their best in a hostile environment to help them achieve decent lives. Be part of the solution, not the problem. Fight the stigma of mental illness and advocate for research that might lead to a cure and for compassion for the afflicted.
Thank you.
