The Thurston Mittens the 3rd Veep Megathread

[Eddie Teach]

And of course since this is Languish, Biden's latest gaffe yesterday was not mentioned here. 

I don't know what Languish has to do with it, not caring about Biden's latest gaffe is a nearly universal trait.

Jesus, Spicey, get on a plane to Vancouver for the Languish Butthurt Convention.

And bring a handgun and a Abby Wambach Jersey

[Eddie Teach]

The handgun is to shoot CC's knees out so we can see how tall he is in a wheelchair?

[derspiess]

Apparently I missed some shit while I was on mini-vacation in the middle of nowhere with no internet access.

And a stopwatch.

Not sure how I feel about this. He acts like a dumb-ass and it is good she calls him out on it but I can't help but feeling that she seems to be berating him quite a bit as well.

No, its so PDH wouldnt feel inadequate.

[PDH]

Maybe this should be in Ed's Ohio thread, but whatever: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/15/opinion/overt-discrimination-in-ohio.html?_r=1&smid=fb-share

Short version: Republicans are stepping up their voter suppression efforts. Pretty disgusting if you believe in democracy.

If you live in Butler or Warren counties in the Republican-leaning suburbs of Cincinnati, you can vote for president beginning in October by going to a polling place in the evening or on weekends. Republican officials in those counties want to make it convenient for their residents to vote early and avoid long lines on Election Day.

But, if you live in Cincinnati, you're out of luck. Republicans on the county election board are planning to end early voting in the city promptly at 5 p.m., and ban it completely on weekends,

This would be a violation of our Charter.  What say you American law talkers.  Can they actually do this?

[garbon]

Well Obama's campaign is supposedly suing over the fact that military are still allowed to vote early in-person but regular citizens are not.  As to the rest, if counties are allowed to opt against extended voting hours, what's the illegal part?

Our laws are national, so Parliament could do it.  But if the councils were in charge and did this I think they'd get destroyed at court.
