Of Crown Royal, Weather Underground and flak-speak

According to a PPP poll 56 percent of Penns disapproved of Obama’s “bitter” remark. Yet this hasn’t influenced his stand in the polls. The Obama campaign’s handling of the “crisis” is deft. He’s not in a bar somewhere throwing back Crown Royal shooters—a disgusting elixir. Anyway, who picked up the tab?

I heard campaign Hillary is near broke, field cutbacks may be coming in North Carolina and Indiana, health care premiums have also gone unpaid. She may have to break-in to that $109 million again.

The Right wing spin machine is getting off Wright and turning their focus to the Velvet, no, Weather underground, a sixties radical, William Ayers. He, like most of us after a few hits, wanted to bomb the Pentagon, hard to do when you can’t get your sorry ass off the couch.

It’s like the old Lenny Bruce line: (He’s a satirist, kids.) I want to work to legalize marijuana but forgot where I put the petition.

When will the Dems breakout Rev. Hagee. This is the beginning of the Rev’s “devotional” for this week:

                   "A professor of psychology recently claimed, '“As far as Moses on Mount Sinai is concerned, it was either a supernatural Cosmic event, which I don’t believe, or a legend, which I don’t believe either, or finally, and this is very probable, an event that joined Moses and the people of Israel under the effect of narcotics.”' 

Okay! Carlos Castaneda or a mountaintop, why is it always a mountaintop?

The Right is going to try to make this election about Rev. Wright, Ayers and other red herrings. Now it seems to be campaign finance reform and the old flip-flop routine. “He says one thing but does another,” give me a break. I hope the American people don’t fall for that old flak-speak.

How about three debates not hosted by the national debate committee but the "People." The idea is simple, average people gathering in town halls across the country walking up to microphones (seriatim) to ask real questions and dialogue with the candidates. Senator McCain said he enjoyed such an exchange he had in New Hampshire over the war. No talking points, no sound-bites just a conversation with the American people by the two people who want the most important job—so the Russians would have us believe—in America. Read about his exchange with Tiffany.

Oh yeah, elitism from Yale, Harvard and Naval Academy grads. The beer and pretzel crowd, how about another Crown Royal? Or, I left my heart in San Francisco, or, or it’s Alcalde and Fay. I told her I’d send the damn letter.
