Best political comeback yet

John McCain has subcumbed, in spite of his promises not to do so, to the political muck raking and negative politics of his predicessors. But I heard the absolute BEST rebuttal from Obama today that I've heard in ages.

In reply to McCain's snarky ads which attribute positions to Obama that he hasn't taken, Obama said:

"Someone needs to ask John McCain what he's FOR instead of just what he's AGAINST."

I love it. Succinct and to the point. Bravo Barack Obama.

The Prostitute Known As Ralph Nader

His people are in WV again, canvasing for signatures so that Nader can run again in the general election.

I have come to despise this man. His supporters drone on about the corruption of both parties while Nader takes contributions from republicans to disrupt the process. He doesn't want to win. He has no real desire to be president. If he did he would begin his campaign early.

Instead he is a prostitute, selling himself to interfere with with the process. Please DON'T make me ill by saying my irritation at his antics means I don't want people to have choices. You HAD choices during the primary. Where was Nader then? He was sitting back, waiting on the highest bidder.

He's a sham. He cost Gore the election and did damage to Kerry. He needs to disappear from the political scene completely.

Have radio personalities lost it?

Don Imus has allowed his common sense to take a vacation more than once in recent years but as repugnant as his comments were, I think Michael Savage takes the cake.

What did he hope to accomplish when he called most autistic children "brats"? Was he hoping to increase slumping radio listeners by staring a conflict that would bring him attention or is he simply so moronic that he believes the bile he drools?

If Imus was fired for his comments about black women, then Savage needs to be permanently banned for his comments about autism. It shows his arrogance and his ignorance and neither is pretty.

Some parents of autistic children have called for Savage’s firing after he described autism as a racket last week. “In 99 percent of the cases, it’s a brat who hasn’t been told to cut the act out,” Savage said on his radio program last Wednesday.

Savage offered no apology in a message posted Monday on his Web site. He said greedy doctors and drug companies were creating a “national panic” by overdiagnosing autism, a mental disorder that inhibits a person’s ability to communicate.

On his radio show last week, he said: “What do you mean they scream and they’re silent? They don’t have a father around to tell them, ‘Don’t act like a moron. You’ll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don’t sit there crying and screaming, you idiot.”’




Savage, you're a moron.
