Week of October 12, 2008 - October 18, 2008

We don't discuss investigations. Except, um, now.


Regarding the story of McCain's southwest Ohio chair, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters, launching a pre-election "fraud" "investigation," here's the choice quote from the story:

"We've had widespread complaints of fraud but we do not discuss investigations at all," Deters said. He said the complaints came from "a variety of sources."

So you don't "discuss investigations at all," except for the part of the sentence that came right before you said "we do not discuss investigations at all"?

I'll tell ya: These McCain folks in Ohio must be angling for a book deal for "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Voter Suppression Tactics."

Maybe they'll package the book with a CD "jam-packed full of outrageous, terrifying, lie-filled robocalls YOU CAN USE!" 

Say it Ain't So, Joe


This is definitely not going to be good for business:

Turns out that "Joe the Plumber," as he became nationally known when Senator John McCain made him a theme at Wednesday night's third and final presidential debate, may run a plumbing business but he is not a licensed plumber. His full name is Samuel J. Wurzelbacher. And he owes a bit in back taxes.

There's always more to the story, isn't there?

Key Arrest in So-Called 'Voter Fraud' Case!


 

The ringleader of the ACORN 'voter fraud' scandal is apprehended by police in Ohio. Democracy is safe once again!

Harried election workers can't be expected to catch widespread
 
See how obviously phony voter registration forms can lead to actual voter fraud that threatens our democracy? Thanks, Republican operatives! Glad you're on the case!
