John McCain: McCain Will Define This Campaign - Not MSNBC's Gnome Du Jour

Cartoon Artist and Huffington Post Intellectual Roy Sekoff on Dan Abrams The Verdict Must viewing for Laundry Dads and kids not scared by gnomes.


I gotta stop doing the laundry, at least at night anyway. I generally take the stuff out of the dryer around 7PM and start sorting and folding and basketing: Towels - One for me; Eight for the girls; 27 for Conor.

I usually turn on MSNBC for giggles as I get a kick out of the uffish-gas-bag Keith Olbermann and his twin Rachel Maddow. I like to watch over-paid dweebs get all up in GWB's Bidness about populist issues that they could care less about than I do about Chicago's Olympic Bid - and that is lower than my interest in NASCAR, which is lower than my interest in Ellen Degeneris, or the Chicago Cubs.

Last night I started late, as Clare had softball practice up at Kennedy Park and wanted to stay and watch Danny Volman, Anthony Reya, Nick Murray, Pete Capagna, Jake LePrete, and my man Ray Hodorowitz dominate the 7th Grade baseball league at Kennedy.

Laundry got attention late and I was forced to watch Dan 'Nepotism' Abrams' The Verdict Comic Book News. This show is an abortion with mustard. At least, Maddow and Olbermann shout English.

Dan Abrams trotted out some Star Wars Bar character named Roy Sekoff - some cartoon artist for Huffington Post. This poor critter is strictly out of Lord of the Rings. ' my PRESSHIS!' Jesus! He's got a set of buckers on him that could bite a pig's ass through a picket fence. He pumps his gnome-like, bug eyed mug straight into the camera lens unzippers his teeth in shout about 'McCain's Pastor Hagee!!!!!! Where's Mainstream Media Huh? Huh?' Good point there Jasper.

Now, I am as ugly as a bald dog with sun spots, but this poor creature's intellectual powers and social skills are very reminiscent of that gnome in Lord of the Rings. You half expect the little guy to start eating Kankakee River Mud Puppies by the handful.

As far as I recall McCain don't go to Hagee's Church. Machs Nicht! Danny and Roy let loose on Ralph Reed and some other evangelical apologist who looked like he was asked to be on the show at the last minute. The whole show was this Roy going all Chipmunk endlessly. It is a great thing that Dan Abrams had his old man get him a spot on MSNBC, because the poor thing would starve to death given his talents and powers of thought. Nepotism has its benefits to society as Dan does not need to forage or beg, thanks be to God. The Vedict is tailor made to Dan's powers.

The fact of the matter, Losers, John McCain will define the Campaign. Obama is gassing rhetoric and papering the house at the Munich Spectacles in Florida and generally stepping on his Johnson once a week. McCain is speaking to Americans.

Today, Chicago Sun Times veteran political journalist Bob Novak ( proud Joliet Native and eater of steaks at Syl's in Rockdale) treats us all to common sense - not to be found when folding undies, towels, and three million T-shirts. Give my post title a click for some Novak.

Here's a taste:

McCain is not about to disarm. His campaign has no intention of fighting this battle on Democratic turf. In the five months ahead, Republicans will explore the mind-set of this young man who is a stranger to most Americans. That includes his association with the Chicago leftist William Ayers, who has remained unrepentant about his violent role as a 1960s radical. This will not be popular with McCain's erstwhile admirers in the mainstream news media, but America has not heard the last of Ayers in this campaign.
