You’ve probably already seen this, but if not…classic stuff.
By the way, the following is the entire episode from Thursday night.

Okay folks…who’s better? Will Ferrell’s Bush or Tina Fey’s Palin?
My vote is with Ferrell. I love his Bush.

After reading this anti-Republican rant from David Sirota, I’m going to make a bold suggestion: can we stop talking about which class is stealing which other class’ money and start addressing our tax code without the ideological blinders on?
Sirota makes the typical and typically contorted argument that the Republicans have let the rich steal from [...]

Between Powell and McClellan, this is a pretty hearty rebuke of the Bush era.
From CNN:
(CNN) — Scott McClellan, the former White House press secretary who sharply criticized President Bush in his memoir last spring, told CNN Thursday he’s voting for Barack Obama.
“From the very beginning I have said I am going to support the candidate [...]

What has George Bush done wrong in his presidency?
Spending, the conduct of the war in Iraq for years, growth in the size of government, larger than any time since the Great Society, laying a $10 trillion debt on future generations of America, owing $500 billion to China, obviously, failure to both enforce and modernize the [...]

Christopher Hitchens thinks so.
It’s all about kleptocratic business leaders, weak-willed politicians and the complete absence of accountability for the empowered class.
Just a taste:
Now ask yourself another question. Has anybody resigned, from either the public or the private sectors (overlapping so lavishly as they now do)? Has anybody even offered to resign? Have you heard [...]

“Those who press this Ayers line of attack are whipping Republicans and conservatives into a fury that is going to be very hard to calm after November. Is it really wise to send conservatives into opposition in a mood of disdain and fury for the next president, incidentally the first African-American president? Anger is a [...]

He’s jumping ship from the USS Anti-Intellectual…
[Sarah Palin] represents a fatal cancer to the Republican party. When I first started in journalism, I worked at the National Review for Bill Buckley. And Buckley famously said he’d rather be ruled by the first 2,000 names in the Boston phone book than by the Harvard faculty. But [...]

Looks like those 100 Republicans still stood firmly in opposition even though it was widely known that the credit markets AROUND THE WORLD had frozen up and there was absolutely nothing that could reverse that except this bill.
So how did we get here?
The core of the plan remains little changed from its inception—the Treasury Department [...]

It makes a lot of sense, not the least of which is when folks think their bank is in trouble and they decide to start pulling their money because they don’t think the FDIC will cover them, it creates a “run on the bank” situation that makes a collapse for that particular institution almost inevitable.
Obama [...]

“This bill offends my principles but I’m going to vote for this bill in order to preserve my principles… to preserve [the free enterprise system]. This is a Herbert Hoover moment.. he made mistakes during the Great Depression… Let’s not make those mistakes… If we fail to do the right thing, heaven help us—if we [...]

This podcast discusses the proposed legislation to bailout Wall Street, McCain suspending his campaign to return to Washington and his call to postpone this Friday’s debate, a debate preview and a discussion of foreign policy issues (both obvious and not so obvious), and more…

Reprinted in full…
THE PRESIDENT: Good evening. This is an extraordinary period for America’s economy. Over the past few weeks, many Americans have felt anxiety about their finances and their future. I understand their worry and their frustration. We’ve seen triple-digit swings in the stock market. Major financial institutions have [...]

McCain will be there too.
From the campaign…
“A few moments ago, President Bush called Senator Obama and asked him to attend a meeting in Washington tomorrow, which he agreed to do. Senator Obama has been working all week with leaders in Congress, Secretary Paulsen, and Chairman Bernanke to improve this proposal, and he has said [...]

No change from yesterday.

Gallup talks bailout…
The major news story of the day continues to be Congress’ deliberation of the massive bailout plan proposed by the Bush administration and, in particular, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. It is unclear what effect the ultimate fate of that legislation will have on the presidential race over the next several [...]

A new CNN/Opinion Research Corp poll shows many more Americans blame Republicans for the financial crisis than blame Democrats. 47% said Republicans are to blame. 24% said Democrats. 20% blame both and 8% blame neither.
This is bad news for Republicans. The economy is a potent election-year issue and voters often punish the party they blame [...]

Just how much of lame duck is he? Ask yourself the following: do I really care what he has to say about the economy?
Still, here’s his statement:

So yes, not much “there” there, and the fact that he didn’t take questions is a sad, but certainly not unexpected at this point.
Still, what can he really say? [...]

“Everything is f**king spin.”
- John McCain talking about the Bush White House in Bob Woodward’s new book.
Now that is the type of stuff I wish I heard publicly from McCain. Because if he spoke out like this more often (maybe not as harshly) he’d probably lose some of the base, but how many independents would [...]

“I am glad that the administration has finally shifted to accepting a timetable for the removal of our combat troops from Iraq.”
- Obama on the Bush administration’s new Iraq withdrawal agreement
So in response to Alan’s question of whether or not this new timetable helps Obama or McCain…my money is on Obama since it plays right [...]
