This whole hoopla over Wesley Clark's comments about John McCain's attempt to link his military experience with his presidential qualifications is way overblown. Mika Brzezinski and her ilk need to foment controversy in order to keep the viewing public from switching to "Ice Road Truckers". If memory serves, two of our most popular presidents-Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton-had no more military experience than I do. In fact they both went out of there way to avoid being drafted. If military experience were a criteria for becoming president then we ought to elect nothing but retired generals.
This election, which once held such high promise, is rapidly devolving into the same old garbage; pandering, platitudes and piffle.
Horse-hockey. GOD is primitive superstition. Believe in the works of Man. We have created HDTV and just in time for a new season of "Ice Road Truckers". Will the wondorous miracles of the universe never cease?
I could not agree with Joan Walsh more. Obama was always my third choice during the primary season and his subsequent statements and positions have only hardened my opinion that his
"Change we can believe in" was and is election year gibberish.
He had better be very careful in thinking that Democrats will overwhelmingly vote for him based soley on the threat of another four years of the GOP in the White House. We are now seeing the real Barack Obama. Frnkly, I think he stinks.
Today is 11 August. Nobody cares. America is in the height of burgers and beer, pennant races and days at the beach. This past Sunday on This Week with George Stephanopolopouphisis(who wasn't even there), Cokie and George and Dee Dee and a couple of other guests conversed over the round table about whatever it was they discussed. The only people watching the show were the cameramen, the technical director and me. And the only reason I was watching the show was that I had just come home after a 2 week vacation and I needed some inane blather to help me do the laundry so that I might have something to wear come Monday morning. We are in the season of the Summer Doldrums. John McCain could wear a dress and do a review in Provincetown as Liza Minelli and it might result in a 1% drop in the polls. Barack Obama could go on tour with Keanue Reeves as second fiddle, give John Edwards a big kiss on the lips and annex Freedonia as his personal feifdom and nobody would care. Conventional wisdom has always stated that until after Labor Day the American electorate doesn't pay attention. Guess what? We are not paying attention. It is summer. We don't care. So tell Cokie and Wolf and the various Georges and the two prominent journalists and the Bush-Cheney campaign official to relax, have a beer, go see a bunch of men dressed as women impersonating Broadway stars singing Broadway tunes and have a good time. There is plenty of time for all this campaign nonsense. But there is still plenty of summer left . See you all in the Fall.
Your an idiot.
Never even bothered to read the article. Who cares? We all know that American politics is just a crock of shit. Obama is raising $55 MILLION Dollars a month. Clinton is spamming her supporters to help her with her campaign debt and the PUMAS are responding. Lord know to what evil depths John McCain has sold his soul. The Russians are now on the verge of invading the Ukraine and retaking Poland. Will the Poles ever get a break? If Barack Obama had a soul he would donate all his campaign contributions to help re-build New Orleans. Otherwise he and Oprah are just a couple of rich Niggers with an agenda. If Hillary Clinton really cared she would be screaming her fat ass off about Health Care, about HPV and how the Pharmaceutical companies are marketing every vagina born in the last 15 years into a Love Canal crisis. Otherwise she is just a power hungry cunt waiting to squirt on the vest of some congressional page. If John McCain were still alive, he would turn the VA into a model of healthcare efficiency and extend that success to every American. Otherwise he is just another limp-dicked old fart waxing nostalgic over times that are long gone and have no fucking chance of ever returning. Earth to McCain; Go Fuck Yourself. So that seems to be this year's universal campaign slogan. Go Fuck Yourself. As for myself, come November I am voting for Satan. God is Dead, the Devil has escaped, and I can't wait for all Hell to break loose.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
