POLITICS BUZZ: Remember Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher? Unfortunately, so do the good folks at Christianity Today , who decided to let him announce that he would never let “queers” near his children. Furthermore, he claims to have gay friends who, despite his opinions, are going to “do their thing.” Wurzelbacher, however, declined to specify whether “their thing” included “eating children.”

POLITICS BUZZ: John McCain's daughter, who started her blogging career on the campaign trail and has since moved on to writing for the Daily Beast has found herself in a war of words with Laura Ingraham. It started with McCain's issues with Anne Coulter and has escalated in name-calling and weight-joke-making.

They're all strikingly hot. Even Dick Cheney. Especially Dick Cheney. No joke. Playful and manly. Other highlights: Biden, McCain, Pelosi. (Not Blagojevich, though. Looks like a dumpy turtle.)

A video montage of Elisabeth Hasselbeck's most annoying rants from '08, including answering questions with questions, talking about the “Barack Obama kool-aid,” and kissing Sean Hannity's ass. Caution: It's five minutes of listening to a voice comparable to nails on a chalkboard.

The McCain-Palin team had a little yard sale last week and sold off a bunch of campaign Blackberries for $20 a piece. As a bonus, it turns out they still had months of campaign email messages on them.

POLITICS BUZZ: For the last-minute holiday shopper or the Dell fan: a McCain-Palin Campaign clearance sale! Shop used Blackberrys, coffee tables, and Ethernet cables, all at bargain-basement prices. If you know someone in Arlington, VA, get them on the horn, because this is a piece of history that you don't want to miss.

POLITICS BUZZ: The man who claimed to be behind the “Sarah Palin doesn't know Africa is a continent” news item doesn't actually exist. Updated: MSNBC wrongly traced the story back to Eisenstadt, supposedly a a McCain policy adviser. But he's a made-up character working for a made-up institute.

If Obama wins the presidency, will celebration turn into mass chaos? The suggestion was put forth in an NPR piece in which an elderly Pennsylvanian McCain supporter said, “I don’t want to sound racist, and I’m not racist, but [if Obama wins] I feel a lot of black people are going to feel it’s payback time.” We’re not sure if “payback time” is meant to connote a gory action movie sequence, but it sure does sound…well, racist.

POLITICS BUZZ: Long, long ago John McCain’s ancestors had 120 slaves on a Mississippi plantation. They remained close with the white family for decades after the Civil War, taking its surname and living close by. Fast forward 150 years later and the descendants of those slaves are speaking out. The Wall Street Journal has a video interview with them.

CBS News: Police sources are saying that “a campaign worker has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter ‘B’ in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.” The story broke in the press two days ago and was all over the news, but police said there were inconsistencies with her story. She has since confessed that it was a total lie, and is facing charges.
