”Wall Street got drunk – it’s one of the reasons I asked you to turn off your TV cameras. It got drunk and now it’s got a hangover. The question is: how long will it sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments?”]]>
In reference to that blog post, I think it's time to start using the word "liar" instead of talking about this stuff as gaffes and/or pandering.

Haven't seen it... no desire to see it... thanks for that horrible visual 'Mini-Me'!

It's good to be John McCain and to have powerful friends. He commits yet another ghastly gaffe in a public broadcast, so CBS edits it out.
]]>"To say that Barack Obama wants to "lose" in Iraq is completely beyond acceptable standards of political discourse. For Senator McCain to impugn the loyalty and patriotism of a sitting United States Senator while he is overseas to gain some short-term political leverage is beneath the dignity of the office which he holds. This is an act of political desperation and moral cowardice. John McCain should be ashamed of himself and immediately apologize."

]]>"I wish we had time to be divided. I wish we had time to be upset. To be angry. To be disappointed. I wish we did," Obama said. "Because if we had time for that, then things wouldn't be so bad right now. Instead, we're in a place where another four or eight years of the world as it is will devastate the life of some child."

Even Fox News broke away from Mr. McCain midevent to cover the rescue of a bear cub wounded in a California fire and nicknamed Lil’ Smokey.Fox News is just another media outlet drunk on the Siren's song that is Obama's message. Oh, sure, they tried to fake a spine by running a crawler of "Obama In Iraq: Second-Ever Trip There" under their coverage of his arrival in Baghdad, but that was just so they could feign some sort of "balance" when right-thinking Americans complained; by the time Obama spoke in Jordan, Fox couldn't get on the Obamessiah Lovefest Biaswagon fast enough. The "news decision" described above is just the latest example of how deep in the tank FNC is for Obama, and how blatantly they're skewing their coverage of McCain to help their Fearless Leader. A bear cub rescue newsworthy? My foot; I'll just bet that Obama partisans planted that bear in the California firebreak, and Fox practically fell over themselves in their haste to get away from John McCain to the conveniently-timed "hot story" of "animal rescue." Disgusting.
Oh, I'm sure there will be a handful of sane voices out of the 435, but not nearly enough. One must assume that Congress wants to play Cover Our Backsides in order to avoid seeing their 9% approval rating drop even farther into the abyss.
