Another Bullet Gone

It also occurs to me that Palin has so many nagging ethics issues, if not outright crimes, dogging her in Alaska (which is apparently the home state of crooked politicos), that the McCain campaign has forfeited not only the experience issue, but now also the ethics charge. Obama may have been as dirty as any Illinois pol, and he certainly was a good buddy of Tony Rezko, and he met Bill Ayers a few times (but not, unfortunately, to plan any terrorism -- and besides, George Bush has proven through his refusal to acknowledge them that there aren't any domestic terrorists), but how can McCain or Palin, assuming she even knows who Bill Ayers or Tony Rezko are, get to that now? They can't. D'oh!

What were they thinking?

Word on the street, also, is that the GOP might turn its convention into an actual telethon to raise money for hurricane relief.

Think about that.

The man who wants to hold the highest government office in America might hold a telethon to help victims of a natural disaster.

What, pray fucking tell, does John McCain think the federal government does?!? As president, would he have a bake sale to fund Medicare? Will we recycle aluminum cans so the soldiers can have body armor? How about pony rides to fix that bridge in Minnesota? Do I hear "dunk tank?"
