Staying On Message

The Obama campaign's response to distortions made by team McCain.

"Electing John McCain and Sarah Palin for four more years of Bush is no change at all. Now that's a pig in lipstick the American people can't afford."

Earmark Queen

Put lipstick on a pig...



...it's still a pig.



Dave Letterman tonight hosts Barack Obama who readily explains that Palin obviously is the lipstick on McCain's policies. Dress the pig up all you want...it's still a pig. No worse than what McCain said about "Hillary Care." And why are we hearing all this fake outrage from the McCain campaign? Avoiding issues, perhaps? What else is new? McSame old stuff...

I'm hoping for tonight's Top Ten, Dave will suggest other ways McCain can dress a pig.

The Cone of Silence

Pastor Rick Warren of the Saddleback Church held a nationally televised evangelical forum that involved the two Presidential candidates in separate interviews, back-to-back. This was done to reveal their religious natures (as if that needed to be done ). This Pastor Warren had crossed his heart and hoped to die, guaranteeing to his congregation, and all America, that McCain was placed in a cone-of-silence. That way, he would posses no unfair advantage hearing the questions an hour before he himself was to answer them. Obama was first; decided by a toss of the coin.

Now, we hear that there was no cone-of-silence; that, during Obama's interview, McCain was actually in his motorcade on his way to the event, amongst his campaign staff...so, the Pastor Warren's claim was an apparent lie. McCain wasn't even in the building. In the version that Warren goes by, he broke the eighth commandment... and they have probably already switched the coin with a real one.

Too bad this was not an event with broader informative implications. It could have been so much more than what it pretended to be... To be fair and not so balanced (check out the comments)...Instead, the cone-of-silence was brought down on us all.

McCain: Oil Companies First!!

This above photo is from a recent Miami New Times report and shows that the Staight Talking Express, while in town, had made a right hand turn from a left turn lane and slammed up against a smaller vehicle. (Maybe the tires on the bus weren't properly inflated?) Apparently, the old guy wasn't driving the bus...since his ability to speak for his campaign is suspect:

He wasn't even in town.
The flip-flopper does, however, speak for the oil companies.

What Goes Around...

...comes around to the Reverend Rod Parsley. Are we finally going to witness McCain's turn to throw his "spiritual advisor" under the bus? The pure drudgery of the corporate media's multiplicity of redundancy dealing with Obama and the good Reverend Jeremiah Wright was such a success for them.

This should be good for a news cycle or two, ya think?
