McCain's campaign - unable to tell the difference between George Bush and Sarah Palin
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con
Just so we're clear - when Obama uses the phrase "lipstick on a pig" it is a sexist attack on Palin. When McCain uses it, it's ok. When Palin uses it, it's ok.
Wow. It's getting deeper than I expected already! But, anything to distract us from real issues must be a good thing, right? I mean really, how boring would it be to debate the merits of McCain "DrillPlan 9000" energy strategy, and Obama's "CleanCoalNuclearFantasy with a dash of renewables" added for spice?
Considering the amount of special interest money from the energy companies flowing to both campaigns (see chart link in my previous post), I do not expect anything more than window-dressing when it comes to energy issues.
And both campaigns know this too - thus "LipstickGate." Because, at best, you will only get small, incremental change out of two corporate-dominated parties.
Happy Wednesday, comrades!
