CNN Says McCain Is Bush 2 the Second

August 21, 2008

While it can’t be entirely surprising that a liberal columnist doesn’t like McCain, Jack Cafferty does raise a few interesting points in this essay for CNN.com.

I like this one:

Russia invades Georgia and President Bush goes on vacation. Our president has spent one-third of his entire two terms in office either at Camp David, Maryland, or at Crawford, Texas, on vacation.

I know that one’s not about McCain, but 1/3!!!!!!! Most Americans get 2 weeks . . . maybe three, if they are lucky. What is that percentage - 1/26? 1/17? no wonder Bush can’t relate to us regular folk.

The topic of human trafficking is . . . around, but it definitely doesn’t get the attention that it should. There’s a new film coming about about it that I haven’t heard much about, but this trailer makes it seem like a must-see.

Focus On The Family Is Losing What Little They Had

August 4, 2008

ht: Zach

Like Zach said, it doesn’t matter whether FotF is trying to rain out the DNC or the RNC. What matters is that they took the time to produce something so unbelievably petty and, IMHO, borderline blasphemous.

Dubya, Pollution Is Not Funny

July 13, 2008

This may just sum up his presidency; he thinks it’s all one big joke on the world.

The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: “Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter.”

He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.

Read the rest here.

This was an unfortunate gaffe, since normally the President is actually quite a hoot.
