Very late to the table here. Thanks David for putting up that ad. It’s so sweet and reassuring. It’s my alltime favorite political ad I’ve ever seen. And… it does get the point across.

David, I wrote a response to your article yesterday. Comment on, rebut, or ignore as you will.

As for the McCain character issue, I certainly find this ironic, particularly in light of what’s being written about the John Edwards affair. The news seems to be endlessly fascinated with every detail of that one. In the end, McCain left his wife for a new one, and Edwards stayed with his. If anything, McCain looks worse in that comparison, I think.

or else these women just like to be close to power.

Ding! Remember how the singularly repellent Henry Kissinger was always surrounded by bevies of much younger attractive women? Power can be a powerful aphrodisiac for some.

Phil Gramm is Johnny McTeleprompter’s Dick Cheney, meaning….he is behind the scene screwing the nation over.

The interesting/slash amusing thing about the comments from the unnamed GOP ’strategist’ (Rove?) is that he/she makes it sound as if they have some really damning oppo research in the bag, but won’t unleash it unless provoked. Anything’s possible, but I find that a little hard to believe. I have to think that, if they had something, they’d already have rolled it out.
Instead, they keep playing these moronic ‘celebrity’ commercials and lying about Obama’s record on taxes.

IOIYAR. Lie, cheat, steal, whatever. There’s always a good excuse if there’s an R after your name.

The letter D means there’s nothing you can do right. Ever. According to our modern pundits.
