McCain’s bigtime sense of humor: Who knew?

By the Diva

We loved John McCain on “Saturday Night Live.” He was more open and funnier than we expected. The bit about a “Republican without money” Sublime. Loved the blank plates. Obama shoulda done the townhalls with him, providing a better contrast.

Supercool that his little blonde wife (LBW) came on as the QVC presenter. Ya know, if she wasn’t already so darned rich, she kinda looks like a QVC presenter. Following along with that note…. why hasn’t she spiked his campaign with the big bucks to make up for the Obama windfall? Just curious. 

We think the polls are capturing a close race based on individual voters, but it’s the electoral college that will kill McCain on Tuesday.

Whew…..it’s almost over. Be cooler if it were more of a horserace. Some Senate and House seats will certainly provide that action, tho. November 5th will probably be a tough day to be a Republican, we surmise.

Obama the artful Dodger

By the Diva

First he kicks reporters off of his plane. Not just any reporters. Three from the New York Post, the Dallas Morning News and The Washington Times. All of them had traveled with the campaign for months. And he gives their seats away frivolously to folks like Jet magazine and documentary filmmakers, as well as broadcast stars. Those publications, by the way, had all endorsed McCain.

Not so transparent, huh?  We hate it when candidates behave this way. It’s pathetic and so base. What an incredible turnoff. If you were on the fence before, this is good enough to cause you to flip.

Then, if that stunt wasn’t bad enough, he yells at the media for shooting footage of him escorting his little daughter to a Halloween party near his Chicago home. Dude, any hope of anonymity is over. You wanna be president, your private life is pretty much done for the next four years. Sure, it’s cool that you are hanging with your little girl, but to tell the press to go away and then take off running. How inelegant! 

We think your conduct in both these instances has been hardly presidential and very cheesy.

Gallup poll: McCain ain’t that far behind

By the Diva

Check out the latest Gallup presidential poll. We know they always tighten close to election day, but still.

John McCain isn’t trailing by that much. We wonder what the actual turnout will be. We expected a landslide for the Democrats but in the presidential race, it could be closer than we are hearing in the press.

Socialism 101….McCain waits til NOW to say it?

By the Diva

McCain should  have used the S word a long time ago. Sure Obama says he’ll cut taxes — just not for people who are successful. What about people who don’t pay taxes? So, he’ll just cut them a check for being LOSERS? We thought welfare reform was something agreed upon long ago — and is working, at least somewhat.

Republicans ought to be a lot madder than they are. Shocking the malaise.

Socialism, marxism even…..Watch how many corporations take their business overseas because of this tax scheme.

We are moving into our closet where it’s pretty and happy and not dreadful. Obamaland scares us. It really does. Joe the plumber ought to be scared as hell, too.

Worst campaign strategy ever (PS: Fight back)

By the Diva

This whole political deal is keeping us away from what we do best: shop and gossip.

But HELLO……..GOP is starting to stand for Goofy Old Party. The McCain campaign is just dreadful. While our Sarah is making ‘em sweat and holding their feet to the fire, the top of the ticket seemingly is doing NADA. 

Didya notice how many of those ACORN groups are now in trouble for fraudulent voter registration? Do ya think they are out there registering Republicans? No, they are NOT. And so……why in the hell isn’t McCain on the warpath, calling Obama out for his connection to ACORN. 

He may be a retired military dude — and we respect his sacrifice — he needs to get some Marine-ass stones and GO OFF. Ya wanna be president? Ya gotta fight for hit, dude.

We are shocked at how terribly this one has been run. We really are. At this point Palin should be at the top of the ticket because at least she has some energy. What is McCain waiting for, cause he’s behind more every day and it ain’t all due to the economy.

We must hurry off to the mall now…..to take the edge off.

Stop calling us “my friends” and other debate musings

By the Diva

Easy on the “my friends” admonition, because it makes you sound like a creepy grandpa. Just a word of knowledge for John McCain. 

Otherwise, we think the GOP nominee did a decent job in the debate, better than we expected, but not nearly forceful enough to score votes. America wants a leader with balls. Seize the day, make us feel led! You want to defeat this cult of personality. TAKE EFFIN CHARGE.

The more debates we have, the more we disagree with Sen. Obama, so at least they are doing something to crystalize our well-informed diva opinion. Nothing against Obama, but his foreign policy is insanely naive. His command of finance is also dim. We need Donald Trump and a couple other folks out there to analyze his policies. We can only imagine what they’d say.

Obama looks good, tho, an attractive young man but too youngish to make us respect him on the issues. And if he wins, we hope he’s a fast learner and we also hope he surrounds himself with people who know better (and more than Joe Biden).

McCain should be meaner, ya know. Cause it’s down to just a few weeks before the election and it’s time to stop being so statesman and time to start making sharper differences. He is right about Putin. That dude is lining up with Chavez and other world kooks. He is up to no good. Obama doesn’t understand Russia all at and he’s tap dancing around his deficiencies in global knowledge. SCARY.

We feel so wonky. We need bigger hair and higher shoes. Something to distance us from those know-it-alls in Washington.

Ah, yes…a solution. After the debate is over we’ll go shopping for girl stuff online to take the policy edge off.

Random celebrity goo we’re thinkin’ about

By the Diva

Mariah Carey’s boy-husband looks more like a bodyguard than a spouse, the way he tries to escort her around at events. What a show those two put on! He always looks like he’s waiting on her. We ponder the longevity of this odd (publicity stunt) union.

Cute – and SO diva – that Jennifer Lopez made costume and hair-do changes during her husband’s 40th birthday bash last weekend. What, so one outfit would not do for the entire party?

Shannen Doherty looks super good now that we are seeing more of her with the redux of 90210. No really. We’d like to be catty but we’re happily surprised.

That Miley Cyrus looks like she’s wearing a wig, in real life. We fear she’s on the Jamie Lynn Spears track. Her dad doesn’t look, ummmmm, too strict, shall we say. She seems oddly flip and arrogant for a teenager with some power. Not likeable at all.

That Trista Sutter from The Bachelor/Bachlorette kinda got uglier now that she’s off TV and living in the real world. We liked her, but she’s a lot more suburban frumpy these days. Sigh, sigh, sigh. Is marriage the black hole of pretty? We think probably so.

We think Michael Phelps is a terrific swimmer but not hot. Kinda dorky, but definitely a great athlete.

We think Robert Downey Jr. could use some Juvederm or facial filler. His face is deploding as he gets older. Have ya noticed? He is one of our favorites so we sent this side note with

We would like to try on the Cindy McCain clothes. She has quite the diva closet. World class.

We think this election is the MOST sexist ever. We can’t get over it. We really can’t.

We like Sarah Palin but think those suits of hers look a little too Talbots. She’s petite and all, but we’d like to see her move into dresses a bit. Her personality is so large, she doesn’t need a suit to be forceful, we think. Loving tho, that she loves high heels. She’s rocking them HUGE on the campaign trail.

We wish we could be a fly on the wall at Hillary’s house. We bet she is PISSED that Palin and McCain stole her thunder. Not picking her will totally turn out to be Obama’s biggest regret.

Dancing with the Stars starts next week. We’ll be there. Watch along with us so we can make fun of people.

Those badly behaved folks on “The View”

By the Diva

The diva used to dig watching “The View.” We loved the chick chat and even enjoyed the psychodrama between Rosie and Elisabeth. But the treatment of John McCain by these leftist vixens was ridiculous.

How does it square the Joy Behar calls John McCain a liar? It’s fine that she disagrees with him politically, but to sit there and accuse him like that, she should be reprimanded by her network. Hopefully thoughtful people will realize that she’s simply ill-informed and squawking with the proletariat about things she doesn’t understand. Funny comic, yes. Politically astute? Ummmmmm, no. We don’t think so. Perhaps her hormones are as out of whack as her opinions.

You know it’s out of hand when Cindy McCain, who has quietly held her tongue against criticism thus far, tagged the hosts for picking her family’s bones clean. Not an unfair assessment, after watching the replay. And what about them questioning HER about the number of houses her family owns?

Like it’s SO bad that she’s rich and has some property. All those leftist witches are rich, too, compared to most of the population. But suddenly Cindy McCain — and her husband by association — are out of touch because Cindy’s family made a lot of money in their business dealings.

The way those View chicas treated the Obamas was a lot different. Not that they can’t be partisan — it’s not journalism, it’s entertainment — but their disrespect of the views of people they disagree with certainly zaps their credibility among smart women.

To wit: we’re super angered by people who hate on those who don’t think like them. They diminish the sisterhood.
