(no subject)

I'm using the "re-defeat Bush" icon for McCain from now on, since that's pretty much what we're talking about here.

Almost as an aside, the Washington Post points out that Phil Gramm has been welcomed back to the McCain campaign team. Phil Gramm, whose banking deregulation efforts created the housing meltdown. Phil Gramm, who thinks Americans suffering from the recession are whiners who need to get a life. Nice signal to send to the average American, Senator Seven-Houses.

Of course, Sen. 7H is not quite as good at sending a clear message as he would like. He may cozy up the religious right, but I doubt that they are comfortable with his tendency to refer to his Senate peers as 'chicken sh!t', suggest they f*ck themselves, and describe his wife as a trollop or a c@nt. On the other hand, those are pretty clear messages. Just not very presidential ones... Perhaps he needs to go back to Solzhenitsen for a few more moving anecdotes...
