The American people and their allies....



"Senator Obama and his allies in Congress infused unneccessary partisanship into the process." - Senator John McCain


"Now is not the time to fix the blame." - Senator John McCain


Pulsars have a hard time spinning faster than John McCain. (According to scientists, however, McCain still, try as he might, doesn't spin quite as fast.) These two statements were uttered within a 30 second span.

Point one. While it is true that McCain was obliquely referencing Nancy Pelosi's speech, and her fixing of the blame on George Bush's failed economic policies, on the House floor with the second quote, it seems rather a moot point considering he just tried to 'fix the blame' of why the bailout didn't pass with the first quote.

Point two. I cannot believe that the American people will let this guy get away with trying to blame Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi with injecting partisanship into the process when it was he, with his fake1 "suspension" of the campaign, that injected partisanshop into the the process in the first place.2

I have a deep, sincere belief that Mike Judge's vision of the future in Idiocracy was, indeed, a vision of the future and not of the present. I love Jerry Springer and hate his show. Running a campaign like you run Jerry Springer's show is a poor way to do business. It may have been, or still be, a guilty pleasure for some but they aren't going to vote for the people on that show. Thinking otherwise shows who is really the idiot.

Comments welcome,

1 - I live in Northeast Ohio. The commercials may have stopped for an hour or so in the 12am-6am time period on Friday. Beyond that, we here in Ohio noticed no "suspension".
2 - Teachers, if you wish, you can use this as an example of a rambling run-on sentence. But only if the word rambling is used in conjunction with it.

It's got electoral votes. It's what politicians crave.
