Fishy stink
When John McCain appeared on this news this morning talking about how he had suspended his presidential campaign to tackle the financial crisis, and that he had asked Barack Obama to do the same, something smelt fishy and therefore ruined my breakfast cereal. When it turned out that Obama had in fact already called McCain suggesting a bipartisan approach to the financial crisis, the fishy stink became overwhelming. McCain’s move is low, low, low. Steal Obama’s thunder by putting on a presidential voice and making out like you’re the one with all the good ideas at the first chance you get, because your campaign is in the shit and your running mate is a gun-toting, anti-abortion-and-witchcraft moron whose idea of foreign policy experience is that she can see Russia from her house.
And the hyprocrisy reaches new, stunning heights. Sarah Palin appears at a dinner in New York, with Gordon Brown’s wife, asking the UN to renew their commitment to reduce maternal mortality in developing countries. This is the woman who would deny all women their reproductive rights.
Voting for McCain / Palin in the US Election seems like such insanity that you couldn’t entertain the idea of them even getting in to the White House, were it not for the fact that George W Bush got in. Twice.
Look at where we could be in only a few years time - McCain in the White House, Palin poised to take the presidency when the old fart drops, and David Cameron at No.10. Stop the world, I want to get off.
