The Original Mav-Erratic blinked again. As soon as he took some heat for his Mortgage Buy Out Hail Mary, McCain wilted, and changed the play.

The Original Mav-Erratic Indeed!

McCain is the original windsock. Hey Barbiecuda, your running mate can not stop blinking.

Excerpt:


That would mean the U.S. would pay face value for the troubled documents, which was the main reason Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) gave for opposing the plan.

A McCain campaign official explained the change: “That language was mistakenly included in the initial draft, and it’s been corrected. It doesn’t reflect the intentions of the initiative, which necessitated the correction and the removal of the sentence. A simple mistake.”

Obama Campaign Economic Policy Director Jason Furman said in the campaign statement opposing McCain's plan: "John McCain wants the government to massively overpay for mortgages in a plan that would guarantee taxpayers lose money and put them at risk of losing even more if home values don’t recover. The biggest beneficiaries of this plan will be the same financial institutions that got us into this mess, some of whom even committed fraud."

Barbiecuda!

Has anyone compiled a list of all of the clever names for Sparkle Starburst yet? (still my fave, kuda to Tena!)

Take a gander at what passes for "hot" in right wing circles. Are you kidding me.

Frozen Tundra Frump Chic is in.

Is she mid-wink in that shot? You know what? She actually IS pretty hot -- that is why she can say such venomous things and get away with them. If she were overweight and had bad hair and skin she wouldn't be so appealing to the red-meat crowd.

Cindy McCain isn't ugly or anything, but she definitely looks bad when she's throwing her barbs out there. She frowns and looks mad. Sarah smiles and cheerfully incites the crowds to a fever pitch, like an Elmer Gantry. I'm beginning to think that ceremony to save her from witchcraft didn't work.

Sarah has that run of the mill cheerleader look, which has passed it's expiration date.

GACK!

The only way she'd be hot is if you set her on fire. Your standards must be lower even than Bill Clinton's. (see Paula Jones, etc...)
