Sarah Palin Is McCain’s VP!
Politics Buzz McCain picked Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, as his running mate. A bold move! McCain can now safely count on those three electoral votes from Alaska. Palin's a reformer who plays well to the cameras, but a state probe into her official conduct -- she may have used her clout to fire her ex -brother-in-law from a state trooper's position -- could really backfire.

Kay Bailey Hutchison For VP?
Politics Buzz McCain's going to announce his running mate Friday; will it be the Texas senator? Her name keeps coming up as a possible alternative to Mitt Romney, though it's a long shot.

McCain Has More Houses Than I Have…
Culture Buzz Lists of the things people own less than seven items of. After yesterday's news about McCain being unsure of how many houses he owns (answer: 7), the blog Cajun Boy in the City was full of questions: "All of this got me to thinking...what do I own seven of? Truthfully, not much. Which then got me to thinking about how John McCain has more houses than I have a shitload of other things."

Manhunt
Tech Buzz Out Magazine asks if the gay men's hookup site - which reportedly rakes in $30 million yearly - has destroyed gay culture. It would be interesting to hear what John McCain had to say about the situation, considering that he gladly accepted the maximum amount for an individual donation from the "liberal Republican" owner of Manhunt.

For every piece of Obama porn there is an equal and opposite anti-McCain message.

McCain’s Stolen Story
Politics Buzz At a joint event with Obama at the Saddleback Church, John McCain told a touching story about a fellow prisoner in Vietnam who drew a cross in the sand. But did he steal it from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn? McCain first told his "cross in the dirt" story in 2000, but not about himself. He never mentioned it in his 1973 account of his imprisonment. Did he lie? Did he have a senior moment? Or did McCain kill Solzhenitsyn?

There's no terrorist fist pound here, just a sucker punch.

McCain Calls Obama The Antichrist
Politics Buzz You know how politicians speak in code that only the base will understand? Well I grew up Pentacostal and I'm pretty sure McCain just called Obama the Antichrist. So does a group of Democratic consultants, who argue that a seemingly innocent McCain ad mocking Obamamania actually implies that the Democratic candidate is the great deceiver prophesied in the Biblical book of Revelation. The neat trick is that this accusation turns all Obama's strengths into weaknesses. Great speaker? So is the Antichrist. Seems like he'll bring world peace? So will the Antichrist. Doesn't buy $500 shoes? Oh, there's probably a verse about that.

Some jokester in Florida managed to get an Obama bumper sticker on John McCain's bus.

Paris Hilton’s McCain Video
Celebrity Buzz Paris Hilton doesn't need her mom and grandpa to defend her against John McCain. In this Funny or Die clip, she proposes her own energy policy. Sure, she's parroting from a script. But that's some swift retribution and hey, Britney couldn't pull it off.

Miss Buffalo Chip
Politics Buzz John McCain suggests his wife enter a topless beauty contest at a Biker Rally in Sturgis, SD. The rash of John McCain making sexist jokes about his wife (and in general) makes me think that misogyny might actually be a calculated campaign tactic.

Kathy Hilton Vs. John McCain
Politics Buzz Paris Hilton's mom thinks it's "a waste of time" that a John McCain ad includes images of her daughter as a way to slam Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's "celebrity status." Do we foresee a new political roundtable show featuring Mrs. H. as political moderator? Sure, it would be fun to watch, but nothing compares to The McLaughlin Group.

McCain’s $520 Loafers
Politics Buzz An old man running for President wears very expensive Italian shoes. McCain has recently been sporting a pair of Ferragamo loafers that retail for $520. Will this become the $400-John-Edwards-haircut of the mid-summer?

Vanity Fair parodies the controversial New Yorker Obama Cover by creating a cover for McCain.

McCain’s Obama Love
Politics Buzz McCain's latest ad tries to expose the media's left-leaning tendencies by compiling a video montage of journalists expressing their undying love for Obama. I think it's safe to say the video fails miserably.

McCain: 894th Out Of 899 At School
Politics Buzz Watch as John McCain admits to being 5th from the bottom of his graduating class; also, he's computer-illiterate. Sure it was a different (much earlier) era when McCain was still in school, but at least Bush was a C student. (Also worth noting: While Obama hasn't released his undergrad transcript, he did graduate Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law.)

Is McCain Eligible?
Politics Buzz The NY Times revived an issue that got buried months ago: John McCain was born in the Panama Canal, making him ineligible for the Presidency. Doh! The Republicans are truly f*cked if this is the case. However, John McCain has survived this long, I doubt that this tiny stipulation would keep him down.

I Hate The Bloggers
Politics Buzz John McCain admits his hatred of bloggers everywhere. With no teleprompter in sight, McCain's true feelings about the blogosphere finally come out: "Now we’ve got the cables. We’ve got talk radio. We’ve got the bloggers. I hate the bloggers."

Wesley Clark
Politics Buzz General Wesley Clark questions McCain's Vietnam War experience, which is basically the entire basis for his presidential campaign. The McCain supporters have their panties in a bunch of the remark. But how could anyone hate such a friendly face?
