I wish the media Would focus on the incompetent old man.
Drug Addict limbaugh recently said that the media believes 'you can't criticize the little black man child'. You know what I say to that? There are a hell of a lot more people who think you can't criticize a "below par" navy pilot, who lost 5 of Our airplanes, and was born the year before the Star Spangled Banner was adopted as the National Anthem.
If "the media" spent the same time and focus on johnny the same they do on Candidate Barack Obama, maybe there would have been more coverage of his gaffes on foreign policy, gaffes on Iraq, ignorance on the economy, his memory loss when it comes to crises and conflicts of the past 20 years, guesses at what middle class is, the timing of his divorce (which was based on his first wife being disfigured in a car accident) and most recently on how many houses he and the uber-wealthy heiress he married own, not to mention what they are worth. How about more on that temper of his? Or all the lobbyists that are ON HIS PAYROLL (especially the one paid so handsomely by the country of Georgia)?
They could run a Time magazine cover story comparing the pro-campaign finance reform, partner of liberals like Russ Feingold and Ted Kennedy, "maverick" old "straight talker" of 1999 to the bought and sold, campaign finance rule breaking, rover advised, "I don't have to show that I'm different" from president junior, anything to win johnny same that's running now. Hell, they could even throw in the fact that the only reason he is the candidate at all is that the rest of the republican field were so incredibly weak and/or crazy. How about a piece asking if being a junior officer in the Navy is really presidential "experience". Speaking of the military background, how about we ask about how he got where he did by riding on his family name (remind you of anybody else), his not "disagreeing" with a draft, or how the once anti-torture former POW, went from against water boarding and "torture" in all it's forms to allowing it and what ever else the United States Military inflicts on it's prisoners. Here's a an question raised recently by Andrew Sullivan. Would bushco. consider the sleep deprivation, the withholding of medical treatment, stress positions, long-time standing, and beating mccain went through torture? So much for setting an example for the world. The older, dumber (894 out of 899 in his graduating class) third termer will now be shouting about Our "victory" in Iraq, now that the failure in chief that calls his shots is agreeing on a timetable to pull US forces out of Iraqi cities by Summer '09 and out of all Iraq by '11. I hope the newly focused media asks him what exactly it is that We've won. And when his answer includes 9/11, they say Iraq had nothing to do with it. And then when he counters with saddam, they say that was 5 years ago.
Ah the newly focused media, druggie rush and the rest of Them should be happy they're not focusing on the Iraq-9/11 forgery that came out of the Vice President's office or the Gilded Age-esque, still floundering, corporately socialist, economy.
