At least the Republican nomination is no longer at issue. John McCain is set to receive the official endorsement today of the man who has endorsed more crooks, liars, con men and incompetents than any US President I know of. I expect Mr. Strait Talk to accept humbly and without the scathing denunciation no decent candidate could fail to administer. He's a team player, after all and the Republicans respect that same Omerta; the code of silence that provides a modicum of honor amongst thieves.
So I'm sure we'll see him cuddle up to Bush and we will continue to witness that Kabuki theater of the Party's reaction to the horrible, terrible, unforgivable smear the New York Times printed about John's relationship to a lobbyist whose clients had business before his Senate Committee and we'll continue to hear next to nothing about how he accepted a large amount of money to intervene in regulatory matters in behalf of Charles Keating of crooked Savings and Loan debacle and "family Values" fame. After all that is all in the past and irrelevant, unlike Whitewater.
The Maverick Reformer, far too "liberal" for many of the fat toads in the Republican cistern, has been chastised for his bipartisan campaign finance reform bill, but never fear. At heart it never meant anything. Setting up The Reform Institute with one hand while drafting legislation with the other shows it. The Reform Institute is a great sump of unregulated soft money from such benefactors as cable companies represented by - you guessed it.
Who cares if he was shagging "honorable lobbyist" Vicky Iseman? He's been screwing us all right and left and all the mugging and grimacing and liberal bashing; all the howls of outrage and accusation are a distraction from the obvious fact that John "Strait Talk" McCain is just another lie, cheat, steal, borrow and spend Republican confidence trickster. Let's hope his flag pin doesn't poke him in the chest when he hugs George today.

I am fairly certain, the Russ endorsement had an effect, or in the open primary states, the Republicans took it upon themselves to vote for Hillary.
I think it's coming down to brass knuckles time. Obama probably made a strategic error in the last few weeks.
It's never over, until it's over.
He redirected a lot of his attention to McCain and Bush, and that likely was a mistake.
Getting an endorsement from Bush is going to happen. It will be a talking point for the DNC.
At least the press will be happy, and also the RNC.
It's time to go fishing for awhile, no radio, no TV.
When my new boat arrives in April, I may just go fishing permanently.
Don't know if you saw it, but I read something on HuffingtonPost, about McCain having no intention of investigating any corruption or law breaking by Bushco's rabble.
What amazes me is his transformation from a Bush yes man, to suddenly "Independent." Has everyone fell asleep?
No. They just swallow what the MSM feeds them...and that is sure death.
Yes, they're asleep, or deluded, or blind with idiot anger and no longer able to tell truth from the fiction they would fight to preserve.
The notion that after a three trillion dollar scam, the biggest setback to civil rights and an impending recession, Americans will put another Republican in office rather than against the wall is a nightmare, but yes, I think we're that stupid.
We rejected the bastards after Nixon resigned and Nixon was a petty pickpocket compared to these professional con men, but I'm not sure at all it will happen again.
As I write, Oil is $104, the dollar at new lows, the market tanking, unemployment up, foreclosures setting records and no good news is sight but the same old liars and cheats are selling the same old scams and people are believing it.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
I think the "leak" made by Canada bears a great deal of responsibility.
I'm not aware of that one.
