I guess it's no longer a goal to win the debate, now it's good enough not to lose...

The new politics.

We have to make adjustments for the candidates. Pffft.

Can't wait for Thursday and like you say, I think it will have more impact on the election than the presidential debate and maybe even more than the financial crisis.

Thx

]From QT in The Chicago Sun-Times
News Item: John McCain's campaign manager is paid more than $30,000 a month for five years to lobby against stricter regulation of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

And why are people making a fuss about this?

Looks like he earned every penny of it.

Well, the senate version now has a shitload of more corporate fucking tax cuts! Goddammit Reid! Stupid ass rolled completely over for the right wing. Now this bill should fail and by a lot.

On another thread here we have frakking Tom Brokaw promoting and anointing David Gregory as the heir apparent to Tim Russert on Meet the Press.

David Gregory's wife is Beth Wilkinson. Until September 19, 2008, Wilkinson was the Excecutive Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary of Fannie Mae.

I guess MSNBC wants to follow CNN's lead of adopting the Wry FOX's "fair and balanced" salespitch and prop up the right wing.

And Campbell Brown of CNN is the wife of Dan Senor, who along with being a corporate whorebag and Fox News frequent guest, was the official spokesman for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, an appointment criticized because of his inability to speak Arabic. Liberal media my ass! When they talk about the media and the powers that be being in bed together, they really mean it.
