Tidbits from the last few days

by Rich Gardner | 10.22.2008

Items from the last few days concerning the presidential campaign.

Good heavens! WHAT does this even MEAN!?!?!

...a Vice President has a really great job, because not only are they there to support the President agenda, ... But also, they're in charge of the United States Senate, so if they want to they can really get in there with the Senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better... [emphasis added]

Huh!?!?! WHAT is Governor Palin talking about!?!?! Does this person have a clue as to what it is that a VP does?!?!?
Chris Matthews tries asking McCain aide Nancy Pfotenhauer and can't get a coherent reply.

Hey, John McCain gets an endorsemet! Not, er, exactly one he wanted, but hey, y'know? Al Qaeda evaluates McCain as "impetuous" and decides that that's just the quality they want in a US President!

Now, to be fair, Governor Palin's wardrobe money doesn't come from taxpayers, it comes from the Republican Party, so Democrats & independents don't pay anything, but dude!!!!! $150,000!?!?!?! As Jane Hamsher points out:

I've made entire movies where the budget to clothe the whole cast was less than that. [emphasis in original]

Also:

ABC’s wardrobe guidelines allow $4200 per prime time show for female characters, so “do the math”, it’s the equivalent of 29 prime time shows.

 

Yeah well, Governor Palin is scheduled to do a 15 minute interview with CNN, but their choice of interviewers leaves much to be desired. This is a fellow who decided even before he investigated Troopergate that there was no story there. Turns out actually, there was.

Update: "...Griffin allowed her to openly lie about a number of issues without any interruption or challenge..."

I did a paper on Star Wars/SDI/Missile Defense back during the late 1980s. What a frackin' waste of the taxpayers' money!!! It's a 50-year old program (The period from the ABM treaty to Reagan's revival was an "on spec" period) that has yet to produce a usable weapon. Fortunately, the latest study says the whole program needs to be taken "back to the garage for some serious repairs."

Colin Powell endorses Barack Obama. We lefties don't particularly like Powell as he helped get the Iraq War started, but he may appeal to more moderate, centrist voters and actually did say some very good, pro-American things about Muslims.
