Obviously it is much more important for the FBI and the DOJ to spend more time and more money on chasing around Dem peters instead of looking for Osama bin Laden. For this we gave up our privacy.

Isn’t it a bit harsh to say that elected officials are “inhuman” if they don’t act sexually in public? Is Hillary really not a human being because of the public face she tries to put forward given that the media hyper-critique’s her cleavage? Also, I think the Obama photograph is clearly directed at those already converted to his cause. Its not really political marketing in the most important sense, therefore, because its not being projected openly to try to win votes.

Last night I had a dream where John McCain held a press conference where he announced that he had a crush on Hillary Clinton.

When the news station went to their “pundents” to discuss the issue, one of them was Elliot Spitzer.

I ate way too much KFC last night. :)

Thanks so much for the Palast article link. An excellent explanation of what I already knew was a terribly smelly situation. But now the stench is so much more distinct, so much more putrid. If they couldn’t bring Spitzer down with that scandal, they would’ve kept digging. The racism apparent in the predatory lending practice is something I should have expected, but I had thought of it as focused primarily on low-income borrowers…until now.

And, less surprising to me, but also important, your article on the scandals. Shows how long I’ve been reading your work! You made some crucial points about the stupidity of this whole situation. Which is just getting uglier in the face of the new headlines about the new governor. I guess it’s all great fodder to take the focus off the real sleaze flowing under our very noses.
