Greek columns, normal. The airplane fuselage seems pretty damned weird.
Ordered to testify before the House Judiciary Committee, the last of the possible delays are about to run out once and for all.
Fantastic at this point. Who are these clowns? What is really going on?
Dick Cheney, at the request of the now-indicted Ted Stevens, intervened with the Alaska legislature - on behalf of VECO, the company that bribed Ted Stevens, and the occasion was to push the very pipeline project for which Stevens (and his son) were bribed. In any sort of an honorable universe, this would lead to Cheney’s grand jury testimony, resignation, and possible prosecution.
Sing along with the teevee, here’s their schedule for Monday.
Chet Edwards? Sure would be a bold choice.
You have to enjoy it when things like this pop up in news stories:
By midafternoon, both campaigns were in full battle cry and sought to portray the other candidate as living an ostentatious lifestyle. Both campaigns called reporters, rushed out scathing TV attack ads, unveiled new websites and unleashed surrogates.
McCain, who huddled with advisors at his desert compound in Sedona, Ariz., said nothing in public. A nine-car motorcade took him to a nearby Starbucks early in the morning, where he ordered a large cappuccino. McCain otherwise avoided reporters.
The Obama campaign is showing that they’re seriously on the ball this week. Since we have now had an entire summer of gaffe-a-day behavior by McCain with hardly any pickup on it by the media, they’ve decided to simply take today’s gaffe and make an ad about it. Within 24 hours. If the Obama crew keeps this up (and there is no reason not to, there are plenty of computers for video editing and money to keep the Tivos running catching McCain’s daily televised outbursts) then their candidate will beat McCain in a landslide.
By the way, McCain owns twelve houses, not seven.
UPDATE: McCain has “responded” to this by reminding people that he was a POW during the Vietnam war. Is that playing the pity card way too readily, or does his campaign sense that this populist attack is doing so much damage it is necessary to bring out Hanoi Hilton stories?
