Yes, boys and girls, Politico still sucks. Expect lots of crap like this for the next three days, during the Democratic Convention.
And Clinton’s big Wednesday night speech here, a prime-time slot usually reserved for the vice president, will be the most closely watched address of the three-day convention, second only to Obama’s stadium speech a night later. Its success is critical for Obama, a deeply polarizing candidate who badly needs his more conservative predecessor’s clout as a validator among independent voters turned off by massive government spending.
The investigation will go on for years and years. This article is from CNN International, not the U.S. CNN reporters, who are for the most part disgraceful, especially on the web.
You think Eastwood was bad?
Accompanied by National Guard vehicles, the caravan inched through water that at some points was a foot or more deep, submerging gas stations, flooding homes and covering front laws. Residents stood in the water and watched the motorcade pass. Flood protection was clearly on the minds of residents. A man who waved a neon yellow sign reading “Mitt is Our Man” wondered why levees had not been able to protect the low-lying areas of this fishing community. “It has really destroyed us,” the man said to Romney after the motorcade stopped on the side of the road. “I don’t know why we can’t come up with something that saves all.” Up the street, a giant pink sign hung on the balcony of a flooded house. “Where is our levee protection?” it read.
Romney and Jindal spent close to an hour meeting with first responders and local officials. Romney shook hands with National Guardsmen outside the U.S. Post Office and talked with a local resident, Jodie Chiarello, 42, who lost her home in Isaac’s flooding. “He just told me to, um, there’s assistance out there,” Chiarello said of her conversation with Romney. “He said, go home and call 211.” That’s a public service number offered in many states. Chiarello said she will likely seek some other shelter because her home was submerged in the flooding. She expressed frustration about the town’s lack of flood protection. “We live outside the levee protection that’s why we get all this water because they close the floodgates up front and all they’re doing is flooding us out down here,” she said. “It’s very frustrating, very. We go through Katrina and Rita and now we’re going through Cindy, Lee and now Isaac.”
It’s a tragedy that she lost her home, but also a real shame that ABC news did not catch her on video responding to Romney by saying “what home? I just told you, it’s under water, it’s destroyed.”
A Friday night dump by the Justice Department. In my personal opinion, Arpaio should spend the rest of his days in jail, and the Justice Dept. owes us an explanation. It’s probably because of the continuation of the civil suit, ruled on earlier this week, that this was dropped.
Static wins for humor, while Jerry Francisco gets runner-up for reading Romney’s mind at the time the photo was taken. However I’d like to recommend the work of a professional, as well:
…Romney is just not up for the political posing and posturing the way Bush was, and if he’s suffering, it’s as much from the demands of the celebrity culture as it is from the expectations of the “reality show†model that the Obama’s — Barack, with his handpicked, in-house, 24/7 campaign photographers complementing the newswire contingent — have laid down.
That’s great news for this company!
Because after all, if somebody’s not doing the job, you gotta let ’em go!
Thank you Clint Eastwood, for 50 years of entertainment. And for showing there is something you are even worse at than singing.
