McBush and Folksy Palin endorsed by SNL's GWB

I was at the FreePress.net's 2008 internet Freedom Bash party last night so didn't see it live but George W. Bush endorsed McCain-Palin on Saturday Night Live's Thursday edition last night, with help from Will Ferrell and Tina Fey.



See Dubya, see McCain, or as my friend Judy Young Brannan from Kent Ohio put it: McBush!!! From Judy:

Pap Attack: McCain and the Keating 5

Where is the corporate media in connecting the dots between today's financial meltdown and McCain's earlier Keating 5 scandal?

Thirteen Cars?!?

Air America Radio mentioned today that Cindy and John McCain own 13 cars. Michelle and Barack Obama own one hybrid. They didn't ask it, but I will: now who calls whom the elitist? 

A Question to ask McCain Supporters

"Are you aware that John McCain has nine houses and wears $520 shoes?" I'd love to see their reactions, dear blog friends! And hear what they have to say.

(Thanks to Rachel Maddow for the information.)

As a followup question you might ask did they know if he was dating wife #2 while wife #1 was hospitalized. Character, integrity, Republicans? (Mind you, this doesn't let John Edwards off the hook, but at least he is still with Elizabeth.) Ah, men!

Drilling Lies

This week the drilling lie has been debunked on a number of progressive talk shows. McCain stresses offshore drilling as a solution to high gas prices but there are already 68 million acres already optioned on which the oil companies have failed to exercise their rights to drill. (Some are saying if the oil companies do not move on their options then the options should be forfeited.) Furthermore, it would take years for any oil to be drilled from any offshore wells AND there is no telling whether any of that oil would reach our shores -- it could be shipped anywhere. The corporative media continues to let McCain get away with outrageous statements.
