John McCain's Keating 5 Problem
By: Harry Waisbren
While John McCain is traipsing around pretending that he is not part of the problem with our failing economy it would be useful to remember that this is not the first time St. John has been confronted with financial misgivings. The Savings and Loan crisis was over 20 years ago, but it was a huge deal back then and the parallels between the corruption amidst massive deregulation certainly speaks to the problems we see today. Digby describes McCain's role as Charles Keating's personal Republican Mafioso as such:
McCain's role in that scandal was very specific: he pressured regulators into going easy on his friend Charlie's savings and loan. And he's done nothing but promote the virtues of deregulation ever since then, spending most of his time warmongering and tilting at windmills on campaign finance reform (which he's conveniently abandoned in his own presidential bid.) His reformer image is a total fraud.
I'm also embedding another video primer on the case below. Check out the 97 second summary, and you'll understand why Fox News has been cutting the mic on anyone with the audacity to mention McMaverick's personal regulation based scandal (via Jed Report):

More Tina Fey as Palin highlights
By: Harry Waisbren
Keith Olbermann highlighted the ongoing SNL Tina Fey as Sarah Palin extravaganza while adding some great news----she is slotted to be playing the part for the next 7 WEEKS until the election. Considering how consistently hilarious she's been so far, I must admit that I'm psyched to hear the news.
Olbermann also discussed something I didn't realize from Fey's second Palin skit: apparently most of the dialogue was directly taken from Palin's speech! I knew it was close but turns out that she essentially copied Palin word for word, and KO plays the videos back to back to take the point home. Check it out below:

John McCain: Economic Disaster

Brave New Films expanded on this in their email:
John McCain does not have the ability to fix this economic crisis. After declaring the fundamentals of the economy strong, he created a political circus in Washington last week by mucking up bailout negotiations; a deplorable stunt, considering he and his political cronies helped cause the current meltdown.How long will the media let him get away with claiming he's a reformer when he's been part of the problem the whole time? It's efforts like these that help overturn the conventional wisdom, and it couldn't come regarding a more important issue during a more important time!
It was McCain and his economic adviser Phil Gramm who pushed for the deregulation that helped lead to the banking crisis, and it was McCain's crony Rick Davis who had deep lobbyist ties to Freddie Mac. Don't let others be fooled by McCain's economic grandstanding because the reality is his policies and principles will only exacerbate our financial hardships. That's why you must spread this video.

Why so serious?
By: Harry Waisbren
Qutie fortunatley, the uprising has come to Washington and Wall Street and the bailout was defeated! There is still plenty of time for Joker style anarchy, but at least we can still hope we can make the investments we desperately need with that $700 billion instead of spending it on bailing out the fat cats for yet another day.
What would the Joker think of the upcoming recession and genearl bailout insanity? Find out below (via College Humor):
Head of Skate
By: Harry Waisbren
A few weeks back Matt Damon lamented over youtube that Sarah Palin seemed much more like a disney movie character than a serious candidate for the Vice Presidency. My favorite part of the video was when he said that he needed to know if she really believes that dinosaurs were here a few thousand years ago, because "she's going to have the nuclear codes". Considering the lengths McCain is going to hide his medical records, this is DEFINITELY a real and frightening concern.
Since Damon highlighted this lunacy, we've had confirmation that Palin really believes that dinosaurs and people coexisted. I find this factoid to be particularly complementary with this College Humor video ridiculing the Sarah Palin disney style campaign. Check it out below (via Slash Film):
