		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’d really like to pretend that McCain is not the Rethug nominee and he didn’t name wingnut Palin his running mate. But that did happen–it’s not a bad dream. Or it could be worse, and we could have actual intelligent humans running their campaign. So celebrate.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Palin is clearly an “agent of change”. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&amp;sid=aGyGdUh9PJhQ&amp;refer=home&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;After all, she changed colleges six times in about 5 years!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apparently she didn’t like the constant rain in Hawaii…so she transferred to Hawaii. Yep! Makes sense!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Snort!!!  Please to remember I’m the old fart who brings y’all breakfast and [gasp] the NYT op eds every morning…  (Even on Monday, when I have to put on the Hazmat suit and deal with Silly Billy KKKristol…)  Salon can’t hold the NYT’s ink roller when it comes to being part of the media elite!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I heard the best argument on cable this afternoon regarding McCain’s claim that he the change agent. If he is the change agent, then why is everyone that is running his campaign from the Karl Rove-George Bush Administration? Schmidt, Davis, Bounds, Eskew, Rove, Black, et all. They are all either Bush 2000, 2004 campaign hacks or GOP lobbiests. It’s the same cast, the same smear and smash campaign and the same idealogy. There is NO DIFFERENCE!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;McCain wants to pretend that the failure today of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fdic.gov/news/news/press/2008/pr08077.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Silver State Bank&lt;/a&gt; of Nevada has nothing to do with &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/07/29/mccains-son-steps-down-from-bank-post/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Andrew McCain’s earlier departure&lt;/a&gt; from the bank’s board and, I’ve seen somewhere, audit committee.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Rrrrrrrighhhht! McCain-Palin…the “agents of change”?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did McCain castigate any of his Republican colleagues about their corruption?  Or even their legislative malfeasance to block change? Did he press for a vote on the ethical scandals relating to Jack Abramoff and his Senate compadres?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Has he banned all lobbyists from his campaign?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And did Sarah take up a knotted cord and scourge the lobbyists and Republicans that supported Bush-Cheney off the convention floor?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t think I saw any evidence that this was a particularly “reformed” Republican party. They hauled the same old crew that was up on that stage in 2004 to give their accolades to McStain…just as they did with Bush.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
