This really is becoming uncannily like The West Wing. Didn't Bartlet invite Santos and Vinick for a private sit-down in response to a crisis during the campaign?

Heh, today I read an editorial where Maureen Dowd had Obama being advised by Bartlet.

BARTLET Well ... let me think. ...We went to war against the wrong country, Osama bin Laden just celebrated his seventh anniversary of not being caught either dead or alive, my family’s less safe than it was eight years ago, we’ve lost trillions of dollars, millions of jobs, thousands of lives and we lost an entire city due to bad weather. So, you know ... I’m a little angry.

OBAMA What would you do?

BARTLET GET ANGRIER! Call them liars, because that’s what they are. Sarah Palin didn’t say “thanks but no thanks” to the Bridge to Nowhere. She just said “Thanks.” You were raised by a single mother on food stamps — where does a guy with eight houses who was legacied into Annapolis get off calling you an elitist? And by the way, if you do nothing else, take that word back. Elite is a good word, it means well above average. I’d ask them what their problem is with excellence. While you’re at it, I want the word “patriot” back. McCain can say that the transcendent issue of our time is the spread of Islamic fanaticism or he can choose a running mate who doesn’t know the Bush doctrine from the Monroe Doctrine, but he can’t do both at the same time and call it patriotic. They have to lie — the truth isn’t their friend right now. Get angry. Mock them mercilessly; they’ve earned it. McCain decried agents of intolerance, then chose a running mate who had to ask if she was allowed to ban books from a public library. It’s not bad enough she thinks the planet Earth was created in six days 6,000 years ago complete with a man, a woman and a talking snake, she wants schools to teach the rest of our kids to deny geology, anthropology, archaeology and common sense too? It’s not bad enough she’s forcing her own daughter into a loveless marriage to a teenage hood, she wants the rest of us to guide our daughters in that direction too? It’s not enough that a woman shouldn’t have the right to choose, it should be the law of the land that she has to carry and deliver her rapist’s baby too? I don’t know whether or not Governor Palin has the tenacity of a pit bull, but I know for sure she’s got the qualifications of one. And you’re worried about seeming angry? You could eat their lunch, make them cry and tell their mamas about it and God himself would call it restrained. There are times when you are simply required to be impolite. There are times when condescension is called for!

OBAMA Good to get that off your chest?

BARTLET Am I keeping you from something?

Hey - where's all the Republican posters, hmmm?

Probably trying to find a alternate dimension machine, get some screen caps of the PolitiGAF thread in the alternate reality where Obama did what McCain did today.

I caught a bit of Republican and Democrat talk radio this afternoon after I heard about this (amusing on both sides to be honest). I know I'd love to hear what they would be saying if the roles were reversed.

They showed the video of the crazy anti-witchcraft preacher dude casting some kind of protective spell on Palin.

It involved much creepiness and some goat's blood.

Sorkin is a genius.

BARTLET: Senator.

OBAMA: Mr. President.

BARTLET: You seem startled.

OBAMA: I didn’t expect you to answer the door yourself.

BARTLET: I didn’t expect you to be getting beat by John McCain and a Lancôme rep who thinks “The Flintstones” was based on a true story, so let’s call it even.

I usually don't find wanda that funny, but this was hilarious. But then again, the jokes write themselves. It's fucking amazing to me to see the the race is even remotely close, this shit doesn't speak well of America at all.

Nice to know that McCain is incapable of working more than a single track at once.

This is now officially the weirdest election in living memory. From McCain's war with the press to suspending your campaign months before the election? Wat?

No matter what the outcome, I think it's safe to say: This election is going to be studied like *crazy* in political science classes in the future. Probably more than 2000.

What is this bullshit about Bush needing to convince the American people that the bailout is good? They'll enact the bailout regardless of what people think about it.

I heard an interview on NPR this evening with some guy from Sweden. Seems like they've traveled this path before.

First tragedy, then farce.
Bush is glossing over every thing his admin fucked up in this crisis.

Its like the kindergarten half truth version of what happened.
