John Edwards
Admits today that he had an affair. He knew this, and repeatedly denied it during the primary. Really?? Did you think this would not come out during the general if you were the nominee? The Democrats dodged a bullet with this one.
By the way - you are a real class act Edwards. Your wife is dying of cancer and you are having an affair. Nice....

Interesting, albeit a bit long, piece on McCain from a reporter who has covered him for 20 years.

McCain - Dazed and Confused
Actually somewhat painful to watch. Him waiting for the audience to laugh/clap/etc is the worse.
Affirmative Action
Fascinating take on affirmative action:
"McCain could dismiss W. as a lightweight, but he knows Obama’s smart. Obama wrote his own books, while McCain’s were written by Salter. McCain knows he’s the affirmative action scion of admirals who might not have gotten through Annapolis without being a legacy. Obama didn’t even tell Harvard Law School that he was black on his application."
It was written by Maureen Dowd, so take it for what it is.

Today In Iraq
Iraqi government expected to have $79 Billion Dollar Surplus. Why Don't We Leave?
Key Quote:
This report is going to make a lot of American families very angry. The record gas prices they are paying have turned into an economic windfall for Iraq. But the Iraqi government isn’t spending the money on rebuilding. American taxpayers are paying that bill too. This doesn’t make any sense, and the Bush Administration never should have let this happen.
---
Republicans - You can have Lieberman (and I hope he is your VP pick)
Key Quote:
LIEBERMAN: That’s why Senator Graham and I are introducing a resolution recognizing the strategic success that the surge has achieved in a central front — the central front of the war on terror against the enemies who attacked America on 9/11/01, and expressing our thanks to our troops who’ve made that success possible.
REALLY?!! - Iraq attackd us on 9/11? Crazy..
----
On a side not Iraq note....Romney better practice his McCain history if he wants to be Veep
WOLF BLITZER: Can you cite one legislative accomplishment that Senator McCain produced during those 26 years in Washington in order to achieve energy independence?
GOVERNOR ROMNEY: Well, I'm not a historian that goes through all of the pieces of legislation John McCain has worked on.
....he just asked for one Mitt

and so it continues...
Senator John McCain was talking to Natasha, the 7 year old daughter of Senator Barack Obama and his wife Michele, at a recent debate. Senator McCain asked Natasha what she wanted to be when she grew up and she told him she wanted to be President of the United States some day.
Senator Obama, obviously beaming with pride, winked at Senator McCain.
Senator McCain asked Natasha - "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?"
Natasha replied - "I would give houses to all the homeless people."
"Wow - what a worthy goal you have there, Natasha." Senator McCain told her.
Senator McCain continued, "Natasha you do know you don't have to wait until you're President to help the homeless. You can come over to Cindy and my house and clean up all the dog poop in my back yard and I will pay you $5 dollars. Then we can go over to that liquor store where those homeless guys hang out, and you can give one of them the $5 dollars to use toward a new house."
Natasha (obviously wise beyond her 7 years) thought that over for a second, while Senator Obama and his wife Michele looked over at Senator McCain seething.
Natasha replied, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and clean up the dog poop in your back yard and you can just pay him the $5 dollars?"
"Welcome to the Republican Party young lady", responded Senator McCain.

The Irish's view on American politics
THE IRISH - SUCH CLEAR THINKERS
Leave it to the Irish to cut through the crap and make the whole issue crystal clear...
Thoughts from across the pond.
An email from Ireland to the brethren in the States...a point to ponder despite your political affiliation:
"We, in Ireland, can't figure out why people even bothered to hold an election in the United States.
On one side, you had a pants wearing lawyer, married to a lawyer who can't keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer who goes to the wrong church who is married to yet another lawyer who doesn't even like the country her husband wants to run.
Now...On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate 'Mc' terminology married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship.
What in Lord's name are ye lads and lasses thinking over there in the colonies??"
(Sticking with our theme from last week LOL)

Obama up in MT
Actually somewhat surprising to me that he is ahead in MT.
MT Is In Play
I know it is early, but this still can't be good news for McCain. He is going to be forced to spend money in places where the GOP normally doesn't worry about.

How Rich are the McCain's?
I have no problem with people getting rich and running for office. I do have a problem when politicians try and say, "I know what the working families in America need" when the following shows that unless they talk to their house cleaners, they have no idea what is effecting the average American.
----
* Since 2004, they've spent $11 million on real estate.
* At times, Cindy has charged as much as $500,000 on one credit card and $250,000 on another in a single month. You really have to work hard to charge three quarters of a million dollars in one month. What is she buying, gold-plated Ferraris?
* Though the McCains spent a modest $184,000 on household staff in 2006, in 2007 they spent $273,000. And who can blame them? It's so hard to get good help these days.
* This is my favorite quote, about why they own two condos in the same building in the beachside town of Coronado: "When I bought the first one, my husband, who is not a beach person, said, 'Oh, this is such a waste of money; the kids will never go,'” she told Vogue. “Then it got to the point where they used it so much I couldn't get in the place. So I bought another one.”

Don't you feel like they are just like you and I? I know Obama has money from his book deals, but not this type of money.

The Two Corey's
Corey & Corey
by wutwutinthebutt
Keeping with my theme of posting information that is not well researched or thought out...
I bring you a video from "The Two Corey's" (I have no idea what channel is broadcasting but I need to find out ASAP). Feldman and Haim are epic figures in our pop culture history both for their unexplainable popularity in the 80's and their totally predictable flame out since that time.
This may just be Tivo material based on this clip. It appears the mandatory Corey rule still applies, Feldman just wasn't likable without Haim on "Surreal Life."
