Haha, so, Kentucky Democrats are afraid of Barack Obama and don’t want him to come to the Bluegrass. David Boswell is a total loser. Leave it to the state party to support that nutbag. Heather Ryan came off sounding more intelligent than the rest of the bunch. [H-L]

John McCain attacked Barack Obama by comparing him to Britney Spears. So it should be noted that while he was busy with that mess, his crew was haphazardly throwing together a ticket with Sarah Palin to bring some Jamie Lynn action to the ticket. [Observation]

Speaking of Spears, get a load of Perez Hilton’s handling of the Palin story. Mean, gutter-level, sickening and terrible. We admit we laughed a little. And Dlisted is even worse. So awful. Hahahahaha. [Perez Hilton, Dlisted]

Mitch McConnell needs this convention like woah. So he’s going to take full advantage of it. [National Journal]

What was that about the RNC not being politicized so as not to appear insensitive to the hurricane evacuees? Yeah, so, Orrin Hatch yammered on about how great and wonderful Jim Bunning is. How he’ll run for senate again in 2010 and lose to any Democrat, no matter what. [Trey Pollard]

From the Department of Did You Know? Did you know that the surge in Iraq totally worked and that everything is peachy and perfect? The war is so over!  Mission accomplished! True story! We heard it from some Republicans who live in McMansions in the east end of Louisville. [EITB]

Everyone– including Trey Grayson– is spinning for Sarah Palin. Did you know she is the new Jesus of energy and lower gas prices? She is also the future of the Republican Party with her faux right-wing moralism and pregnant 17-year-old daughter. [Mark Hebert]

HAHAHA! Even the Wall Street Journal is bringing up the Britney Spears ad. Even we are beginning to feel embarrassed for John McCain. [WSJ]

A story of student reaction to the Robert Felner scandal in UofL’s student paper is less than impressive. We’d expect the paper to go hog wild with the juicy details. [Louisville Cardinal]

Oh, and John David Dyche? It’s not a “lie” that Mitch McConnell got rich from public service. That’s something we call a “truth” in the reality-based community, which you are apparently not a part of. But you’re loosely correct about what Bruce Lunsford should be doing at the moment. [C-J]

According to Marty Cothran, chief homo-hating bigot of Lexington, Sarah Palin’s underage daughter’s pregnancy has no relevance. Guess that’s why it’s a part of every single newscase on earth and is on the front page of every paper the world over.  Oh, and Marty, that “evidence” is provided in several stories I linked to. Read the site before providing your inane commentary that people only read because I link to it. [Mind-blowing Ignorance]
