A light bulb in his cell burning 24 hours a day. Boarded-up cell windows blocking any breath of fresh air. Oh, nevermind, it's just Fred Thompson, talking about John McCain's rarely discussed experience as a POW. :: posted by buermann @ 2008-09-02 19:27:27 CST | link Comments: I read this speech and it made me laugh. Why? Three reasons: 1. The GOP likes to talk about how inexperienced Obama is...but in the next breath Sarah Palin is described as "courageous, successful, reformer, who is not afraid to take on the establishment". Huh. She gets to be "a breath of fresh air" and Obama is inexperienced? And maybe someone should dig a little deeper than how fresh her air is...if the ticket gets elected, she could very well be the Prez at some point during the four year term. McCain is kind of up there in years. 2. If McCain is such a bang up guy, why in the hell didn't the GOP nominate him 8 years ago for Prez. and save us the last 8 years of G.W.B.? Now, McCain seems like a recycling project. 3. Reagan was McCain's hero? Well, that settles it. If I wanted to vote for him before, I surely don't want to now. posted by leahaz @ 2008-09-02 20:12:50 | link go ahead, express that vague notion Name: Email: Homepage: Comment your turing test:
