Good grief! What's going on here?

Obama speaks in front of 200,000 enthusiastic German Obamaniacs...



...meanwhile, Charlie McBrown speaks at some sausage house in front of 2 Krauts somewhere:



Is Charlie McBrown throwing the election or something? Is it fixed? What's going on here! McCain backers can't possibly imagine he's in this race or even trying! I think something REEKS here!!!

...and, hey, ONION! Update your DIEBOLD skit to say "Obama" instead of "Hillary", will ya???



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It wasn't so bad"..."Attendance was respectable"...there were "Foul-ups"..."Nothing's perfect"..."Short notice"..."Confusion"..."Right hand and the left hand just didn’t get together on this"..."No advance notice" (HUH???)...LOCUSTS!!!!!

bd: How about this one: "Obama's winning by a landslide, and no one likes Charlie McBrown"!

NEPA: Local GOP talking heads give every reason under the sun except "THE DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK" for only 800 showing up at the 1800-seat Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre for the big Charlie McBrown rally.

Big Dan's Big Blog exclusive of today's upcoming McCain rally!



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CBS covered for McCain not knowing what he's talking about, by editting an interview! The corporate-controlled media is for the Republicans! It's no joke anymore! There is no such thing as the "liberal media" like they're telling you! It's a lie! It's always been a lie! Think about who says "liberal media": Rush Limbaugh!!!

Sign the petition: "CBS let down the public by covering up John McCain's lack of understanding about Iraq. CBS should correct the record by airing what McCain actually said and explaining why he was flat-out wrong." (when you hear overlapping audio at one point, that's intentional)
