Thursday morning news Roundup
- John McCain’s campaign is looking vaguely familiar. I’ve seen this type of campaigning before…recently. It looks almost exactly like Hillary Clinton’s campaign in late April and May. The only difference is that Hillary Clinton actually found a message and John McCain has not. Yesterday, John McCain told Sean Hannity that Barack Obama “lacks the experience and the knowledge, and, more importantly, the judgment…” A 72-year-old man, who is looking older by the second, picks a running mate with zero experience and is trying to play the experience card. Maybe you can explain it.
- Dana Milbank, of the Washington Post, points out some of the confusing messages that Sarah Palin has been spewing on the campaign trail.
- There was an interesting article published a couple days ago about Sen. John McCain’s days as an aviator. It seems that there are some questions about his judgment. The senator had three crashes early in his career before he was shot down over Vietnam. Questionable judgment. Hmmm..!
- David Brooks, conservative columnist of the New York Times, called Sarah Palin a conservative cancer.
- In spite of AIG executives spending hundreds of thousands of dollars at the St. Regis Hotel, the $85 billion lthat we lent AIG was not enough. The Federal Reserve has just handed out another $38 billion in cash.
- Last night, John McCain repeated his claim that he knows how to get Osama bin Laden. If this is true, why hasn’t he told anyone? He says he knows how to fix government spending, yet I haven’t seen any plan. Is he going to make this stuff up with pixie dust?
