A new Newsweek poll came out today giving Barack Obama a 15 point lead over John McCain. While it is way too early to lend that survey any actual gravity in terms of who might win in November, one wonders if it will tighten the wallets of Republican contributors further.
Or will it wake contributors up and make them get off the stick?
The GOP has only been able to raise half of its goal amount for the past quarter and with Scott McClellan's keeping the secretive and underhanded ways that the White House tried to subvert a national security operative in the headlines and other polls that see 80% of the populace believing that the country is headed inthe wrong direction as the economy slows down, this isn't the optimum atmosphere for fat cats to want to blow their cash on a losing horse.
John McCain has looked downright foolish at times and a recent tv ad starring John Cusack that equates Bush with McCain is devastating. Another ad by MoveOn.org featuring a mother saying that McCain can't have her son for his 100 Years War, also hits home strongly.
And that is before you get to the lacerating London Times report linked in the post below blaming the Republican leadership for failing in the war on terrorism. McCain has stated that he thinks things are going just ducky in Iraq and Afghanistan (where U.S. troops fended off a Taliban attack on Khandahar yesterday), another instance of just sheer delusion.
Obama has hit the ground running while McCain has had feet of clay. With Obama tied in Georgia (!!!) with McCain thanks to Bob Barr running on the Libertarian ticket and siphoning off votes from the GOP, even longtime wacko representative Dana Rohrabacher could very well lose his seat of 20 years to a Democrat mayor in reliably conservative and wealthy Huntington Beach, California,, the adversity only piles up for McCain.
The irony here in that latter instance is rich. Huntington Beach is a former oil boomtown (and there are still oil wells pumping away on Pacific Coast Highway) and Cook herself is bascially an oil industry whore. With the oil lobby (Bush and Cheney, etc) running the country, Rohrabacher may get a dose of his own medicine.
And oil further hurts Republicans in Florida, where the coastal drilling issue has resulted in charges of hypocrisy against Governor Charlie "Secret Gay" Crist. Obama is now destroying McCain in that nettlesome state for Democrats.
Then McCain decides to charge Obama with the words "cowboy diplomacy," something that rebounds back on to himself because it reminds people of Bush's mishandling of foreign policy that McCain supported and obscures what McCain is actualy attempting to get across, that Obama may be a protectionist. Another sign that McCain entered the Naval Academy as a legacy admit (which is true) and not on merit. Just like Bush and Yale.

Call Him "Crash" McCain
If you remember clownish Orange County Congressman Robert Dornan, he was such a bad pilot when he was in the armed services he spent a good deal of his military career as a USO liason. Well, guess who might be worse than Dornan? Yes, the most execrable former flyboy to disgrace the halls of Capitol Hill is one John "Crash" McCain.
McCain, doing for the U.S. what he did for naval aviation.

Will McCain Drop Out of Race? Don't Count on it
A piece in the Huffington Post by Steve Rosenbaum posits that GOP presidential nominee John McCain will bow out during or around the time of his party's convention, ostensibly for health reasons, in favor of a younger and arguably more electable candidate.
Aside from the fact that it is hard to imagine someone with the Senatorial ego and delusions of personal grandeur of McCain would shelve his ambitions to be the most powerful man in the world, Rosenbaum goes on to list a group of possible choices the yellow elephants may resort to. Here is my assessment of those named in the article:
Condoleeza Rice: The worst Secretary of State in American history and who conducted our diplomatic affairs with all the elan of a giggling high school cheerleader. There are also those rumors about her being either a lesbian or having been serving at the pleasure of Bush's "little W." if you know what I mean *nudge nudge, wink wink.*
If she were in over her head any more, she would be going out in public wearing a scuba outfit. FEMA would have launched a rescue operation. Blacks don't trust her. So a Rice run is a non-starter.
Colin Powell: The second worst Secretary of State of all time. Was part of Bush's propaganda effort. And in doing so, failed the country enormously. It is apparent now that Powell was an affirmative action hire by Scanner Bush and used as a handy tool by Turbo Bush. Look up dupe in the dictionary. Powell's face may be there. He will be destroyed.
Marilyn Musgrave (Colorado Congresswoman): Just another neocon asshole, the type that is being repudiated by the American public. Plus she has no name recognition. And there are Republicans who aren't going to vote for any woman no matter what. This is a joke.
Mitt Romney: Willard "Ratfucker" Romney has flip flopped more than a fish freshly hoisted out of the water and on to a boat. He would be Christmas and the Fourth of July for Democratic opposition researchers. And he's a Mormon, which will cause some of the evangelical wackos to stay home on election day. He will win Utah though. But that's about it.
Mike Huckabee: He not only looks like Deputy Dawg, he turned his primary campaign into a religious crusade, which scares not just those on the left, but independents, women and moderate Republicans. He will get shellacked. Plus some have accused him of having secret liberal social sympathies that are anathema to rank and file reactionaries.
Charlie Crist: He's a secret gay. In fact, he is in trouble among some Republicans in Florida for being kinda easygoing on the homosexual issue. To quote from an episode of Family Guy, he is so far in the closet he is finding Christmas presents. Bigwigs in the GOP establishment know about these rumors and I can't see them allowing a Crist candidacy to occur.
Tim Pawlenty (Minnesota Governor). Who? And that is his problem. At least Obama is the devil the public knows. Pawlenty has no foreign policy experience, which is something the Republicans have hit Obama on with McCain fronting the ticket. So they GOP will lose that meme and they don't have much else.
Bobby Jindal (Louisiana Governor): Tv ads with the theme to The Exorcist playing in the background. It will become a national joke. That is because Jindal has reportedly participated in exorcisms. Even most Catholics aren't prepared to go there. He would get destroyed.
Mark Sanford (Governor of South Carolina): The most likely McCain replacement, I think. But will have a lot of problems with hispanics over the immigration issue and is embroiled in a budget fight with his state's legislature, something the American public isn't going to want to see in D.C. It would be reminiscent of Bush. Would sweep the south, but he also voted against some Republican pork projects when he was in Congress and it would be another message that you can't trust his party on budget issues. Might be able to pull back in some of the disaffected Republicans backing Ron Paul, but that is a hail mary since Paul is almost a cult right now.
The biggest obstacle to overcome fo Sanford, though, would be the "bait and switch" meme the Democrats would throw out there. They would paint Sanford's nomination as undemocratic and emphasize that he hasn't been vetted through the primary process. That will probably sow enough suspicion to doom his candidacy.
John Thune: Rabidly hated by Democrats and not the kind of guy independents are going to vote for. Is an asshole and a half, dishonest to a fare thee well and would drive Democratic Party turnout through the roof.
Chuck Hagel (Nebraska Senator): The GOP rank and file are still smarting from Hagel ranging far off of the reservation vis a vis the Iraq war and, since they tend to be royalist in their thinking anyway, would not permit this kind of lese majeste to be rewarded. Would be very formidable as a national candidate, but with his criticisms of the conduct of the Iraq war, would be hard pressed to come up with a resolution to it and he may not have one. If he doesn't, there is basically no reason to vote for him over Obama. I also don't think that Hagel is willing to kiss enough ass to get back in the good graces of the party apparatchiks.
Dick Lugar (Indiana Senator). The problem is his name. I can only imagine the You Tube parodies and jokes on Leno that will arise out of that. Lugar is well regarded on both sides of the aisle, but he also isn't likely to bring anything new and again, he will get hung with the bait and switch tag. Plus the public at large just doesn't know that much about him.
Michael Bloomberg: No. He is basically a John Lindsay Republican (limousine liberal) and the party long ago swore those off. Plus crime has gone back up in NYC under his watch. Bloomberg's best bet for president is to either run as a Democrat or an independent.

Random Stuff
John McCain has been attempting to make himself the national security candidate. Missed it by THAT much.
What is it about intelligence and the British Commonwealth? I detailed earlier for you the problems that Canada's spooks have had and Britain's MI5 and MI6 have been penetrated more than a high street whore.
Well, here we go again. Apparently some kind soul in the U.K. intelligence community felt that there wasn't any interesting reading to be had on London trains, so he left some top secret documents to be perused by interested parties.
Then it happened AGAIN.
You wonder if the trains are being used as a document drop by a mole to his/her foreign intelligence service handler. Once I can see as just inattention, twice and a thorough review of the members of both MI5 and MI6 may be in order.
This reminds me of a story in Canada not too long ago about that nation's anti-terror plans being discarded in a dumpster.
How about Air Canada being spied on by Westjet? I'm not kidding.
Canada really is the Bullwinkle Moose of countries. amiable but also big, dumb and easy to scam.
There is a controversy bubbling up now about some congress critters, most of them Democrats, receiving special favors from the near bankrupt Countrywide Mortgage firm. Compared to the Abramoff investigation, the rather slight breaks are small potatoes, but it nonetheless undermines some of the party's moral authority vis a vis the Bush administration.
Unlike Republicans, however, who defend their kind no matter what they did (*cough Scooter Libby *cough John Doolittle *cough), I hope this matter is thoroughly investigated and if there is any corruption, and how can you not suspect there was, the guilty should be iced in maximum security for a dime (ten years). Corruption undermines democracy, no matter who is doing it.
In a roundabout connection, Pakistan Junta-crat Pervez Musharraf may be impeached in a country he grabbed off in a military coup. So let's look at the totals here: a leader of a military junta in a Muslim state can be impeached but in the reputed land of the free and home of the brave political predator Bush can't? What is wrong with THAT picture?
Jesus H. Fuck Me Christ! MSNBC spent all day Saturday memorializing dead Bush enabler Tim Russert even though there was a human and economic tragedy occurring in Iowa. It's all about priorities, that being able to, in effect, run a long ass infomercial for yourself by using a dead man as a proxy. In other words, by highlighting that "we had Russert, this great man," they were actually endeavoring to embellish the NBC brand. When you have a chance to do that, well, it's only Iowa, I guess.
Oh speaking of lame marketing ideas, I tried to watch a couple of episodes of Family Guy the other day on TBN (not to be confused with televangelist scam artists and alleged closeted homosexual Paul Crouch's Trinity Broadcasting Network) and they have come up with a really irritating way to promote their programs now. What they do is impose animations and blurbs about them during segments. That isn't bad in itself, but they were doing it every fucking two minutes! They even stopped the show a couple of times midway through scenes so that the star of this particular show, Bill Engvall, could utter the ad copy. It was so bad that after a few minutes, I got fed up and turned the tv off.
I mean, what the fuck? We need that shit hammered into our eyes and heads repeatedly to try to ensure that someone would watch that show? I'm not going to see Engvall's vehicle just because I feel so insulted by such overweening marketing. And I like the guy! But fuck him and his show. That is just pure lack of consideration for the viewing public. Whoever devised this shit needs to be castrated.
Separated at birth? Max Headroom and Republican bullshit slinger Tony Snow. Kinda eerie, isn't it?
The irony with bringing up Snow, who is one of the GOP's asses of evil, is that Russert farts off the earth all of a sudden while Snow survives two bouts of cancer. Russert was just a dupe. Snow was a cheerleader for a fascist takeover of the U.S.
Oh, I forgot to mention this: when Russert croaked Friday, Laura Ingraham was subbing for Blahblah O'Reilly on his show. Someone did a flattering summation of Russert's career and Ingraham didn't react much to it. Of course, Ingraham was originally brought to you by MSNBC during its days as a purveyor of reactionary cant.
But what struck me was how made up Ingraham was. Talk about putting makeup on a pig. As someone who has a thing for tomboys, who usually do have at least some kind of femininity, Ingraham is more like a mildly fay northern European male. She has to be a dyke. I know I'm hardly alone in thinking this, but c'mon.
It just cracks me up how many gay hating Republicans are in denial about how infiltrated by rightwing homosexuals the GOP is. Hell, Florida Governor Charlie Crist, who might be McCain's VP, is rumored to be of that ilk. Fox regularly has John Kasich on frequently, another alleged gay. California nitwit congressman David Dreier has denied his friendship with Dorothy, if you get my drift, which nobody, and I mean nobody, believes.
You know, "angry" is an adjective often used to describe Keith Olberman. In fact, it is an accusation you hear from the rightwing parrotheads and even from the New Yorker, of all outlets. The disingenuousness of that is pretty apparent, though. The whole rightwing radio format is predicated on sputtering displays of white trash male imaginary grievances, with its most ebullient, if you want to call it that, practitioner being onetime herbal medicine barker and San Francisco talk show host Michael "the human snotball" Savage. MSNBC had him on for a while before he got so excessive that even the Republicans at GE who run the station had to can him to preserve their image.
So the whole anger meme runs like this: seething at lefties in a ballistic fit is perfectly fine, but you turn it on members of the self-appointed chosen, i.e, the GOP, then you are psycho. It's called having it both ways.
Bad news for queer bashers: you're dinosaurs!
And your boy McCain may have a campaign manager with ties to the vicious Russian Mob.
For those of you still using Internet Explorer (what, are you still on AOL, too you chumps?), Tuesday would be the perfect time for you to join the cool kids and download the Firefox browser. It loads smoother than the Gates product and it also offers a neat array of widgets to make your net surfing more fun thanks to being open source. Seriously, IE is for McCain voters, people who are too stupid to know when something is OVER.
Poor Republicans! They have been burbling about what they termed recent successes in Afghanistan. Well, you can kiss that idea goodbye. Sadly, there is also this bit of news.
Meanwhile, there have been rumblings that Barack Obama may be able to peel off some of the evangelical vote from McCain. Here is one illustration why.
Unfortunately, as we creep closer to November, the GOP's kissin' cousins are gearing up to kill the Illinois Senator. That is no joke. Why do Republicans hate democracy so much?
They also hate science.

The GOP Sex Scandals Never Seem to End; Ku Klux Love for the OC
This one involves an appeals court judge appointed by Ronald Reagan who has a fondness for porno and it has gotten in the way of an obscenity case that is before him. Ugly details.
Now imagine this scenario: you are at a party. You are too boozed up to drive home. You crash at your hosts's place in the top bunk of a bunk bed. Also in a similarly inebriated condition and sleeping in the lower bunk is the national chairman of the Young Republicans. Then you suddenly are awakened in the middle of the night by said GOP bigwig blowing you. Yes, you read that correctly. You got to check this out.
Sex offender was Republican volunteer. I know, Republican and sex offender are redundant terms.
Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons, whose marriage is breaking up because he was "polling" (heh heh) where he wasn't supposed to, may be employing a "wag the dog" strategy in calling for a special session. Here be the report. And this story ain't going to go away.
More fun in the Catholic Church.
And Louisiana's GOP Governor, Bobby Jindal, is even wackier than THAT. Will he be McCain's VP nominee?
And are Southern Baptists about to go the way of the dodo bird? It sure looks that way. Halelluah!
GOP religious freaks object to HIV/AIDS prevention funding even though bill has bipartisan support. No doubt about it, that party loves misery.
Did you know that ultra-conservative Orange County (California) came to be thanks to a couple members of the Ku Klux Klan? Wouldn't surprise you? Well, it's true baby! Here's the straight dope.
Conservative parents beam with pride as daughters deal with gay rights advocate.
Republicans in Florida rush to sign up felons as new voters...but so do Democrats. Assholes.
Bush on 24, but I don't mean the tv show. Looky here.
Why do Utahns continue to vote Republican when they can't do anything right?
Helluva job there Mukasey: Feds allow convicted hedge fund exec to escape. Global manhunt now underway.
McCain pisses off party faithful in Texas. Will probably be abandoned by black conservatives.
Republican run Ford continues to betray America.
Red states continue to betray kid's health. And insurance companies will make you sick.
Media treating Obama like somebody from another planet. Remember Pat Buchanan's "exotic" remark? He isn't alone in thinking that.
AT&T continues to be the evil telecom company.
This is your local news media.
The Orange County (California) Weekly decided to satirically tweak the conservative Orange County Register, former home of GOP Rep Dana Rohrabacher, in a sexual way. Laughs here.
McCain sex tape surfaces and hilarity ensues (satire).

Random Thoughts
With the Iraq war going about as well as a French defensive maneuver, there were some wiseasses who remarked that it would be better just to put deposed dictator Saddam Hussein back into power. That ain't gonna happen, but here is the next best thing, I guess. It will be interesting to see how this one blows up in Turbo's face.
And while that bit of less than satisfying news is out, here is an indication that John "The Escalator" McCain is going to risk losing Afghanistan, where the actual 9/11 terrorists hid out, so that he can send 30,000 more troops to get bogged down in Operation Qwagmire. Osama Bin Laden must think that McCain is Bush's comedy writer or something because I'm sure he had a good chuckle over that one.
Not that funny, though, is that Bush, in what should probably be called Operation Save My Legacy, may decide to join McCain in suggesting more troops be dropped into Iraq. Talk about sociopathically selfish.
However, the rats are really deserting him as his poll numbers make mole-like and dig deeper holes.
The irony for me is that incoming Speaker of the House Nancy, "I need a visit from the clue patrol at committee nomination time" Pelosi is going to create a new intelligence oversight committee. Hmmm....Bush? Intelligence? Talk about no there there. Is it grounds for impeachment if they find no intelligence at Camp Clusterfuck? Or is it just for seeing that the non-existent intelligence is deployed where it can least hurt the republic?
Surely another sign of deficient intelligence is that we are now going to help motherfucking commie China with its nuclear reactor program. Chris Cox has his fingerprints on this somewhere. He has been the biggest Chinese collaborator since we tried to prop up the heinous Chang "Peanut" Kai-shek after WWII. The last super computer sale to that country was under Cox' auspices.
In Japan, being in the Jieitai, or Self Defence Force, is imbued with the coolness level that is associated in the U.S. with losers who spend their time playing Dungeons and Dragons. But now that the education system is about to get more outwardly patriotic, it will be interesting to see if that changes. It is hard to believe, though, that Japan will create a military establishment large enough to project any power because it is better economically to allow the U.S. to do it for them. That is not to mention that both China and the Koreas will shit their collective pants and thereby heighten diplomatic tensions in Asia.
Call the Tim Johnson situation "a stroke of ghoulishness."
Show of hands time: did any of you care about how long it took the state of Florida to dispatch a death row inmate this past week? Me neither.
And may Castro be in agony as he makes his way to that eternal farm.

Hagel Goes Walkabout on Republicans Yet Again
Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel, as well as Joe Scarborough, would both probably like to run for President and have been taking quite a few potshots at their party over the last few months, which is a bit like shooting a barrel of your own fish. This is all likely a pose to appear independent while both men are actually members of the GOP's Newt cadre.
In any event, Hagel threw John McCain under the bus with this little assessment of the Iraq situation.
Odds of Hagel becoming McCain's Secretary of Defense should he be elected to the White House? I think you'll see Cindy Sheehan get that nominati0n before he looks Chucky's way.

Random Thoughts
I was reading the great Jesus General blog this evening when someone posted in the comments section about a wacko Christian sect called Quiverfull, which is averse to any form of birth control and advocates that people have as many offspring as they can splorch out. No, this is apparently NOT related to the Mormons.
In reply to this, one of the respondents riposted that "a vagina isn't a clown car" while another told an anecdote that supposedly occurred on Groucho Marx' old game show, You Bet Your Life: when a female contestant revealed that she had a large brood, Marx asked her why. "I love my husband," she is said to have rejoindered. Which engendered this observation from the mustachioed comedian: "Well, I like my cigars, too, but I take them out of my mouth every once in a while." I haven't stopped laughing since.
I just saw on the news of how Iran and Syria might end up being allowed to weigh in on any settlement of the Iraq situation. To me, that would be the greatest diplomatic and military humiliation ever endured by America. Let's call Bush what he is: Nero. Or a scatalogical King Midas, who turns to shit everything he touches.
There were some recent cheers in some sectors of the liberal blogosphere regarding a reported improvement in the ratings of MSNBC and CNN as compared with Fox News. But why? MSNBC was perhaps an even bigger cheerleader for the Iraq invasion than the Rupe-a dupes and CNN features one blowhard wingnut shithead Glenn Beck as well as former Rush Limbaugh fuck toy Darin Kagin. Furthermore, the one watchable asset that MSNBC, which should be folded up like a cheap carnival tent and sent into that eternal good night, has, Keith Olberman, is forced to have his show scarred by a bunch of tabloid horseshit by his Republican bosses attempting to blunt the impact of his show. None of the winger hosts, Joe Thugborough, Tim "the Buffalo Buttface" Russert and"Quisling Chris" Matthews are so hamstrung.
Thus, all three cable news outlets suck and it wouldn't be much of a loss if all three of them went off the air tomorrow. Most smart people are getting their news off the internet anyway.
Speaking of which, are there big enough numbers available to quantify just how galactic an embarrassment the Katie Couric version of the once proud CBS Evening News is? It is like having a sexless soccer mom from down the block working the anchor chair. Even Rita Cosby would be an improvement only because she makes you imagine what she did to get that husky voice of hers and it kind of makes you horny even if, like Couric, Cosby isn't a journalist but rather just a bimbo who can read a teleprompter.
Scraping the bottom of the brainpan the last couple of days was Democrat New York Congress critter Chucky Rangell, who would like to revive the draft. Rangell, unlike most of the war eagle crowd on the other side of the isle, has seen combat somewhere (Korea, in fact) and is pissed about how it is generally minorities and the poor who end up with the cannons pointed at them, to plagiarize John Fogerty. So he wants to make (cue melody from White Christmas) everyone from 18-42 available to Uncle Sam's beck and call.
One can see Rangell's point. He also posits that this would have kept us from pulling the trigger on Iraq since everybody in the country would have had some kind of personal stake in how we exercise military power. Of course, that's about as sound as Ted Haggard's ability to deny himself buttsex and street pharmaceuticals because Bush and Cheney are such sociopaths that they don't give a shit and the empty eyed denizens of the country's hosanna huts back them because their leaders (Jerry Falwell, ad nauseum) are part of the GOP in crowd. If Bush really gave a shit about what Americans think we would have gun control, abortion wouldn't be threatened and we would have national health care.
The conscription proposal was immediately shot down (no pun intended) by speaker to be Nancy Pelosi. All Rangell ultimately did was create a distraction from the incremental agenda that Pelosi has in mind for the first few months of the Democrat Congress and it may have even alienated independents who don't want to hear anything associated with war at the moment due to the monumental clusterfuck Bush has subjected our brave troops to.
What is a bit ominous about all this is that Bush has so crippled the reach and readiness of our armed forces that one wonders if maybe Rangell isn't right. The GOP won't back a draft either out of political expediency even as you have idiots like John McCain calling for 20,000 more men to be dropped into the quagmire. McCain is talking like he has the intention of going McNamara on us if he were elected president and then it will be even more like Vietnam than it already is. Yet another reason to refrain from voting for this stealth rightwing hack.
Fox has no decided to pull the OJ Simpson tv special and I had initially thought that they would leave the book available (which was already climbing up the Amazon charts; The queen bitch of South Central, Maxine Waters, was probably looking forward to the former running back personally autographing her copy) while using the fuss over it as a form of negative marketing. But no, the book has been pulled, too, thank the deity of your choice. C'mon, even the most blindered Republican has to now realize that Fox and its honchos Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes lack any conscience whatsoever. Or is that what the wingnuts like about them?
This all provoked a poster to Americablog to do a send up in the comments section concerning a deal Fox probably would have made with Osama Bin-Laden. It's under the headline, "Fox News' Rupert Murdoch Cancels OJ Book and TV Special."
I guess we've seen the last of Michael Richards, no? What a pinhead!

John McCain the Phony
Professional former prisoner of war and Arizona Senator John McCain will now apparently make another run at nabbing the Republican presidential nomination. In his so doing, you will no doubt get the same old bullshit about what a maverick he is. The truth, though, is that McCain is just another rightwing hack.
Let's look at who the former pilot has in tow: Bruce Herschensohn, the failed GOP California Senate aspirant who decried the fact that the UN is filled with representatives of dictatorial regimes on the one hand then lamented that then President Jimmy Carter didn't crush the Islamic rebellion that toppled dictator Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, aka the Shah of Iran.
Yep, that is how you buy credibility in a Muslim region, by killing what may have been thousands of that religion's faithful and perhaps becoming bogged down in a perpetual guerrilla conflict after the U.S. had pulled out of Vietnam just a little over half a decade previous. That is not to also mention that the Soviet Union, which was barely hanging on at that point, felt that Iran was within its sphere of influence. A U.S. military action there could possibly have stoked tensions between the U.S. and the Soviets and given more spine to military and KGB hardliners, especially after what we had been doing in Afghanistan with the Mujahadeen.
So he obviously doesn't really believe in diplomacy, which has been Bush's big problem and he has no grasp of geopolitical realities. It doesn't say much for McCain that he would have this idiot as one of his advisers.
That is beside the fact that he doesn't agree that the federal government ought to aid victims of natural disasters. That falls right in line with Bush, who left everybody behind during Hurricane Katrina while he was on another vacation and only belatedly moved, albeit merely with a series of lame ass photo ops, when the criticism and outrage got to be crushing.
Moreover, Herschensohn is another echo from the Nixon White House days and if McCain is trying to set himself up as some kind of moral paragon, as his recent courting of wackjob religious fringies like Jerry Falwell showed, then his buddy Bruce, a Tricky Dick apologist, betrays that.
One also has to question how conservatives could vote for McCain anyway. Aside from the fact that he has the adultery thing going and his wife is part of the GOPP (Grand Old Pill Poppers), Bush and his campaign made insinuations during the 2000 primary campaign that McCain was a kind of Manchurian Candidate in the wake of the torture he endured whilst a prisoner in Vietnam. That leaves those conservatives now open to being charged with selling out the country by being willing to vote for somebody who may have been programmed by the Commies even if we all know that what was said about McCain in this connection is garbage.
Then there is John Weaver, his political strategist. Weaver also advised another wingnut, Phil Gramm, during his 1996 presidential bid.
McCain is also closely tied to advisers to Bush, as this list demonstrates, including the insufferable former Indiana Senator Dan Coates, who tried to help Bush get Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court and who is hardly a stalwart defender of the First Amendment.
It's the same old shit. Don't fall for it. McCain is about as independent of the GOP establishment as Ed Gillespie.
