Yes that's the one.

Anytime you get that "video not available" message, click the title above the video square and it will link you to the video and play it for you.

EDIT: Unless Viacom pulls it due to copyright issues.

Republicans haz respect of IP?

Quote:
The sisterly duo known as Heart sent a cease-and-desist notice to the McCain-Palin campaign Thursday afternoon after their hit "Barracuda" was used—twice—without permission as the official rallying cry for the vice presidential candidate after her nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.

Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song 'Barracuda' no longer be used to promote her image...[It] was written in the late '70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women...There's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there.

Maybe this has been mentioned as apparently it is on YouTube. But I find it scary as there is a good chance John and Cindy will have to try out the Lincoln bedroom on their first night in the White House, thus causing McCain's massive, Viagra-fueled heart attack:

From the Associated Press: Palin: Iraq War "A Task that is from God"
Quote:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told ministry students at her former church that the United States sent troops to fight in the Iraq war on a "task that is from God."

[assorted other nonsense]

...Palin asked the students to pray for the troops in Iraq, and noted that her eldest son, Track, was expected to be deployed there.

"Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God," she said. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God's plan."

...Palin told graduating students of the church's School of Ministry, "What I need to do is strike a deal with you guys." As they preached the love of Jesus throughout Alaska, she said, she'd work to implement God's will from the governor's office, including creating jobs by building a pipeline to bring North Slope natural gas to North American markets.

..."I can do my job there in developing our natural resources and doing things like getting the roads paved and making sure our troopers have their cop cars and their uniforms and their guns, and making sure our public schools are funded," she added. "But really all of that stuff doesn't do any good if the people of Alaska's heart isn't right with God."...[continued nonsense]
Bolding and is from me.

This is like the fourth time this has happened this year, with other artists. I think it's totally fucked up.

The obvious problem for them is finding a half way decent artist willing to lend material to their campaign. They can only ride Anita Bryant so far.

I imagine they can find artists .. but trying to find artists that don't make them look old fashioned would be hard.

plenty of older conservatives around

As the years go on that music becomes even more and more dated.

It does, however, fit right into that whole current Republican philosophy of "do what you want now, fight the legal battles later."

The entire Bush administration operates on this philosophy.

They couldn't even vet the Veep, how do you think they're going to have the time to vet the tunes?

/stands by for epic thread where various SLU instigators make Palin avatars and have them do all manner of outrageous/offensive things, which Cris will eventually have to lock because it gets waaaayyyy out of hand.

I just read though this entire thread and am kinda shocked.

First off, I don't really want to hear about people fantasizing about sex with a Vice-President, no matter who it is.

Second, I don't understand the physical appeal of this candidate. I think she looks and sounds like Gladys Kravitz.

As Bush II can tell you, having the almighty back your moves allows you to do whatever the fuck you want because you have the ultimate justification.

Think corporate taxes should be cut? So does god.
Want to ignore pesky environmental regulations? God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
Want to deny gay rights? Well the bible tells us to if you squint your eyes and tilt your head just right.

I wish I had such certitude in my decisions.

McCain Moves Ahead of Obama in Poll

Well this Gallup Poll is discouraging.

There are two additional web polls and people actually think the Republicans did better at the Convention 2 to 1!

(luckily those aren't scientific at all)
