Week of September 14, 2008 - September 20, 2008

Fundementals


It sounds like the McCain campaign is going to settle on
"America Workers" as their final answer for the meaning of "fundamentals".

When Wall Street bankers were still getting $100 million bonuses you thought the economy had made great progress.

When your benefactor John Thain got a $15 million bonus from Merrill in 2007, and went on to bundle several $100 thousand for you, the fundamentals where solid.

And the day Merrill Lynch disappeared, the checks had just started rolling into your campaign and I heard you felt the fundamentals were pretty strong.

Yesterday you noticed that the workers of America are unhappy about something, and that you'd better call them strong too, so you said that they were the "fundamentals" which you were referring to all this time

And it is true, the workers of America ARE the fundamental thing that makes the American economy work.

And that is why it's fundamentally wrong that American workers are getting screwed in the economy the Republicans built these last 7 years.

Americans are not whining but describing a very simple economic reality. This economy has been harder and harder on American workers every year since Phil Gramm got rid of all those regulations, and Dick Cheney got rid of those pesky "worker rights", and George Bush decided he wanted to have a war.

Maybe they'd whine a little less if some of the financial gurus out there were put out of work, so those $100 million bonuses and $10 million salaries could be better spent on $70,000 salaries.


McCain laughing about his lies


This is an old CNN interview with McCain about cheating on his wife. 

At about 3:12 into this interview John McCain is responding to a question about being a 41 y/o married man lying about his age and marital status in the hopes of hooking up with a 24 y/o girl.

He says, "I lied." and starts laughing about it.

I think it might make an effective montage if someone with video editing capability  would cut together some of McCain's better whoppers, each followed by 1.5 seconds of McCain laughing about his lying ways.

If McCain starts crying foul, and saying that clip isn't referring to his current lies, then we will be forced to ask which lie he is referring to.
