Reading The Pictures: Fudge Haus

Posted July 25, 2008 | 12:38 AM (EST)



Sein republikanischer Kontrahent John McCain und Senator Lindsey Graham
hatte die Worte Obamas in "Schmidt's Fudge Haus" in Columbus (Ohio) verfolgt.

Don't miss the private pool at the Ritz-Carlton fitness studio.)

1. "Death wish" campaign repeats visual self-immolation trick first unveiled the night of Obama's nomination clinch. Even more devastating than the compulsive smiling against the sickly green background, Schmidts photo op points up the bizarre compulsion to frame McCain in the worst possible comparative light. If the strategy of the day was to emphasize McCain's ability, evoking a German setting, to successfully engage 199,990 fewer people than Obama captivated in Berlin, the event, topped off by the photo, was a rousing success.

Given all that -- and RNC's decision to run anti-Obama advertisements in Berlin, N.H.; Berlin, Wis.; and Berlin, Pa. -- the "Unique Impressions" is spot on.

2. You gotta love Lindsey's expression (not to mention the red, white and blue fashion statement). How do you spell "T - I - T - A - N - I - C ?"

3. Gaffe-ridden campaign makes the "fudge Haus" fit too.

5. Holy shit! The asshole was at Schmidts?

That's just down the street from me. I wish I'd known, so I could throw dog shit at him...

7. Yes...here's the thread I posted yesterday:

Obama, audience of 200,000. McCain: audience of 10 at the Sausage Haus.

8. McSame is starting to make me sick to my stomach, the sight of him, just like Bush

I guess they are the same after all.

9. McCain & Poppy in Kennebunkport

Same as it ever was...

...except the audience has gotten noticeably smaller.
