More from the Bullshit Talk Express

Well, looks like the "Straight Talk Pony" is back, ironically going after yet another member of the Obama vetting team.

(CNN) - The day after Jim Johnson resigned from Barack Obama's vice presidential candidate vetting committee, John McCain set his sights on Eric Holder -- one of the two remaining members of the committee.

"I think people in the media and observers will make a decision as to whether these people, individuals, should be part of Senator Obama's campaign," McCain told reporters in Boston. "I think it is a matter of record that Mr. Holder recommended the pardoning of Mr. [Marc] Rich."

It appears that Senator McTrollop knows he is losing severely on the issues; and instead of issuing "straight talk" about the issues that Americans face, have to blast off on ridiculous matters such as this.

But hey, if Johnny Mac wants to start throwing stones about vetters...

From 1987 - 1989, Arthur Culvahouse served as Counsel to the President of the United States. As White House Counsel, he advised President Reagan on matters ranging from Iran-Contra investigations, to the Supreme Court nominations of Robert Bork and Anthony Kennedy, to the legal aspects of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

Ahhh, yes, but hey, Marc Rich is such a TERRIBLE deal after all.
As Mr. McCain likes to say "This is not change you can believe in". Well, Senator McCain's games like this is "hypocrisy you can believe in". I just find it ironic he can bring this stuff up after he waited for months to fire lobbyists, and only did it then because of "image problems".

Re: Tips, recs? (2.00 / 1)

The only tip I have (beyond the mojo I gave you) is the same tip I give everyone... if you love your country, don't vote for McCain....

McCain/Palin... even scarier than Bush/Cheney... and that's saying something!

can suck it. I think this only a sign of desperation, they're not winning on the politics, so they've got to try something. I envision three months from now, he's going to be alerting the public on the 999th member of Obama's staff.

This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring! If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!

What I find most amazing about all of these attacks made by the McCain campaign is that he is actually the one making all of the attacks. When Obama hits McCain on these sort of side issues, he is almost never the one to actually do it. One of his higher profile surrogates is usually the one to actually make the attack, but John McCain has absolutely no problem spouting off about wanting to keep this campaign civil and high-minded in one breath while making an absurd attack on Obama in the next.

What I do worry about is whether the press will eventually stop taking it easy on McCain and actually start reporting on the astonishingly hypocritical campaign that McCain is running.
