Some things are so FUBAR that it’s all I can do not to foam at the mouth and spray anger-spittle all over my desktop, ruining yet another computer keyboard. This happens a lot when readingt about politics in Utah, but, what about national politics? Or, rather, what is often called the “reporting” of national “politics.”

(KSL News) Utah is undeniably one of the reddest states in the nation, but that hasn’t stopped Democrat Barack Obama from outraising his competitor John McCain.
The Salt Lake Tribune found a groundswell of late donations from the state gave [...]

The good news …

Even tough guys get nicks and cuts sometimes, and those nicks and cuts need to be bandaged up, no matter how rugged and manly you are. That doesn’t mean, however, that you need to mar your body with some sissy band-aid. No, sir. You need a bandage that’s as tough and masculine [...]

I mean, we’re allowed to talk like that now, right? If Obama is a terrorist because he was on a 150 person board with a douche bag and once went to a campaign party at the douche bag’s house, then, when John McCain hires a guy who used to work for … SADDAM HUSSEIN!, then, [...]

Oh, KSL, your ridiculous partisanship is showing.
I just saw a news update on KSL …and … Having found no news in the world today, KSL is pimping a “feel good” segment. In a 60 second news update, which segment do you think took most of the 60 second spot? Utah’s Sarah Palin look alike. You [...]

At the private club, the Democrats had a different perspective on Palin.”She’s showing the public she does not have a grasp on the economy or foreign issues,” [...]

“Inspired” by this “article”: Some legislative candidates opt against answering News questionnaire
You should read the article first, then what I say might make sense.
Dear Bob,
You got pretty whiny in your little “column” today, and, I thought maybe I’d pop you a quick note to tell you why you’re being ignored by a few candidates [...]

No intro, just the Sidetrack Link:
Offshore drilling ban expires today.
Why weren’t the drilling experts poised and ready at the crack of dawn, bits a-spinnin’, waiting for the bell to ring, signaling decades of abundant oil and unbelievably cheap gas? Why aren’t Rush, Hannity, McCain, and every RedState contributor scuba-geared up and hammering the first “Freedom [...]

Wonkette! Wonkette has the best new roundup of John McCain’s insanity the last couple of days.
There are no more nights in politics or business — only the endless horrible grind of collapse and fuckery, 24 hours a day, including this newest chapter in our latest, greatest depression: Washington Mutual has collapsed, and was closed by [...]

From KSL and Mary Richards:
Sen. Orrin Hatch hopes something gets hammered out today on the economy, or, he says, the country may go further into crisis mode.
Sen. Hatch told Utah’s Morning News he doesn’t necessarily like the bailout bill, but something needs to be done.
“It’s all perception, and the marketplace is going to tank if [...]

The only risk McCain runs with the stunt is that the MSM will call him on it. So, I guess it’ll probably work.
From TPM:
A plugged in reader who’s a Democratic lobbyist writes in with a good point:
The deal on the “bail out” is 98% done. Treasury has capitulated on almost every point. A draft is [...]

From the kids at Wonkette via that Drudge guy that I will never link to:
Ooh, we might have to watch David Letterman tonight for the first time in 20 years: “David Letterman tells audience that McCain called him today to tell him he had to rush back to DC to deal with the economy. Then [...]
