POST MORTEM

Okay, so it was a pretty dull night, not a lot of nail biting, and it's sad to see the whole thing over, But I was happy with the result-- yes, I came to love Obama! Michelle too, but not all of us here at PeepHole can say the same. Some bitches are so threatened.

But-- what that hell was she wearing last night? Black dress with red splotch and shiny cummerbund? And what about Jill? Someone should have told her the event called for black dress-- she stuck out like a giant sore lime.

Sad to see those other bitches, Cindy and Sarah, relegated to the scrap heap. Cindy will no doubt to continue to scare small children even outside the Hallowe'en season, and Sarah will run off with Joe the Plumber so he can help lay that giant pipe across Alaska.

COLD BLONDE CHILL

RUN FOR YOUR USELESS LIVES

Did somebody just yell 'Terrorist' after McCain asks who the real Barack Obama is? I saw his face sort of fall there for a second. Or not fall but turn wry. He heard it. He knows how distasteful this has all become and what he's become, namely, an old, [sorry but his old-ness seems inescapable at this point; his face seems more and more like paper everyday] shapeless, haphazard Rove/Bush sequel or spin-off. I think so. I see flashes of unease, disappointment when he looks at Palin, just a general undercurrent of self-hatred. I feel it. I know it. If you think you hate yourself during that job interview where your sycophantic, dripping whore-ass is extolling all your fake virtues for a job you don't want and where if there were a butcher knife gleaming in the fluorescent on the conference table between you and the interviewer and her list of questions and a copy of your resume that she hasn't read and your empty folder you keep in front of you to look like there may be some forthcoming documents that would prove said virtues, and where you'd want to grab that knife and plunge it into your chest just to regain some kind of quiet dignity, just imagine how McCain feels right about now. The longest job interview in the world. Quiet dignity. He was said to have it when his father the Admiral pushed to get him out of that POW camp and McCain was said to have refused it because there were others there before him and they deserved to be released first---imagine that! Well, that's all over. It's the end of that kind of dignity. Or any dignity. I just realized that. How startling that is. Shame, humiliation, dignity; it's all over for us.

On Monday, McCain rolled out a new TV ad, "Dangerous," that accuses Obama of being "dishonorable." "Who is Barack Obama?" a narrator ominously asks. "He says our troops in Afghanistan are 'just air-raiding villages and killing civilians.' How dishonorable. Of course what Obama meant was that an over-reliance on air strikes -- due in part to a shortage of ground troops -- is causing a tragic and strategically counterproductive level of civilian casualties."


Just end this already. End the pain.

MISS CONGENIALITY. . .snicker snicker

Bob Cesca for Huffington Post:

"This foreign policy debate was supposed to be Senator McCain's strongest of the series of three. And while he was effective at being a jittery war-monger and invoking words like "Petraeus" and "Miss Congeniality" seemingly at random, he was out-commander-in-chiefed by Senator Obama. More importantly, it ought to be clear by now that Senator Obama has the temperament to be an effective chief executive.

Where Senator McCain was unserious and petulant, Senator Obama was forceful, sharp and, at times, magnanimous. Hell, Senator McCain couldn't even look Senator Obama in the eye. Not once. Instead, Senator McCain snickered and smirked during the discussion of very serious issues. Where have we seen that behavior before?"

BUSH I MEAN MCCAIN VS OBAMA

This picture is great at exhibiting what was an hour and a half of Obama softly kicking McCain's old fogey ass with a smile and a friendly bi-partisan intelligence and tolerance. I haven't heard anyone mention the glaring, Bush-esque attitude of McCain: he never looked over at Obama, even though Lehrer insisted a few times that the debate was to be interactive between the candidates. Instead, McCain scowled angrily, laughed patronizingly. Is this a tactic of the GOP? To look means you're dropping your sheriff-like steely resolve? Doesn't looking into the eyes of your opponent show fearlessness? Obama got it after a while and looked over and engaged McCain. But McCain, like an angry child, was condescending ['What Obama doesn't understand...Mr. Obama is naive...'] and prick-ish, waving his Sharpie around. I think at some point he called his pen old. Did he? Did he really use the word 'old'? What a Freudian slip! Projecting through his phallic symbol what he knows and fears everyone is thinking about him, standing across from a strapping young man with actual colour in his face. And why does he use a Sharpie? Can he not see his jotted notes? Why not a feather quill, a big bottle of India Ink and a magnifying glass?
And did McCain really use the word, 'holocaust' in reference to Iran and Israel. . .
Jesus. . .inflammatory and dated and inappropriate. He forgot to mention mushroom clouds, The Bomb, and The Lemon Sisters.
It's funny that McCain never mentions the middle class and how they're necessary for the economy, to get things moving again, and he never mentions Pakistan. Obama always mentions 'Pahhhkistahn' in his high-brow way, but he's right, the Pakistan issue does have to be faced and dealt with.
Oh well, whatever, in the end it was a humourless, charm-less display by McCain. What happened to him? He seems so threatened. Never show weakness, Soldier, and when you fall from the sky, try not getting captured, that may have been your first mistake.

CINDY MCCAIN IS THE DEVIL

Or a vampire. Doesn't she look like Nosferatu? Big ears and hair the same colour as her head, she might as well be bald. She used to have nails like that, but they give her too much trouble when she's changing Johnny's diapers.
