More of the same McCain part II
By Capt. Fogg
I have no idea whether Rush Limbaugh's "endorsement" of Hillary Clinton had any effect, but her quasi-comeback will ensure that the round the clock circus of opinions of opinions of polls and portents will continue to make it impossible to get any actual news from that big box in my living room. I've had TV since 1949 and I don't recall anything this obsessive.
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.

Killer closing line Fogg. Did you see his speech last night? I didn't make it five minutes without having to leave the room. Hypocrisy upsets my stomach.
No, I hardly watch TV news any more. I can get more news off the web in 10 minutes than you get watching CNN all day.
Even so, it's hard to avoid those Pepto Bismol moments, isn't it?
At least your reaction to McCain is not emotional, but I digress. At any rate, my friends, last night McCain celebrated; today, he gets ready for the general election fight against either a vicious bitch or a thinly disguised pimp.
Too busy to get into it right now but it's absolutely fascinating that a generally recognized scumbag loser like Bubbleboy is going to be spun as a positive endorsement in the vile MSM.
Is it worth answering someone who thinks he/she/it can dismiss me for being emotional - is that all you have? Do words like Vicious bitch or pimp make you sound like a Bill Buckley or a nitwit Republican? and yes I know that's a pleonasm.
McCain is guilty of influence peddling at least and his moral stances seem to be rather flexible when there's a chance at power and money. That's a matter of record. That's legitimate cause for emotion. All you have is inane hyperbole - or hyperbolic inanities - take your pick. Any way you look at it, you're an idiot.
Fogg, I rarely watch either but I had it on to catch the returns and he popped up almost immediately.
Nolo, I also think it's hilarious that anybody thinks a Bush endorsement is a plus.
Fogg, it's never really worth answering the trolls, but you eviscerate them so beautifully that I almost look forward to their arrival on your threads.
No, I'm not an idiot. I'm just joking around. But liberals tend to have NO SENSE OF HUMOR! At any rate, Bill would be the first to attest that Hillary is a bitch, and if you put Obama in a full-length fur coat with a feather-plumed hat, he'd make a perfect pimp.
No, I'm not an idiot.
Anonymous, I agree with you. You are not an idiot. When refering to garden slugs, the more apt description is "slimy," and I am too much of an ecologist to throw chemicals in my garden just to control a few slugs. I just let the birds eat them.
Please -- a little social justice for the garden slugs! What is social justice anyway? You know, Ecophotos, in a socially just world, we'd tax you at 98% so you couldn't afford all those fancy cameras you need to take pictures of the Rain Forest.

A stark admission.
