Joe Lieberman and John McCain are almost cut from the same cloth, except Joe knows more about Sunni’s and Shia, etc. etc. What they do have in common however is an appetite to bomb Iran. John sings about it, and Joe claims it “appeals ” to him.

During Bill Bennett’s radio show today, Bill and Joe were fantasizing about their pearl wearing heroine, Hillary “obliterate them all” Clinton when Bennett lets the cat out of the bag about his admiration for Hillary.

And Joe, you know, this is my style. This is a girl who puts on her pearls, goes down, throws down a shot of liquor and bombs Iran, you know. This is…lookout Mrs. Bennett, this is my kind of girl.

Lieberman then says, “it does have an appeal to it.”

Yup, just some good ol Neocon buddies, kickin’ back havin’ some shots, talkin’ bout the ladies and bombing Iran. I wonder if these two have BFF tatoos? “Peace is for pussies” must be tattooed on their ass cheeks!

West Virginians came out of their holes on Tuesday and saw their shadows, prolonging an already unbearable Democratic nomination race. Voters handed Hillary a 67% win over rival Barrack Obama, which did nothing more than stroke her ego, and give her hope to continue the race.

Thanks West Virginia, for nothing!

What does it all mean in the big scheme of things? Well, it proves that 25% of voters in West Virginia are 60 or older, and have no education beyond high school, prefer Hillary Clinton. Overall, it means not too much, as Hillary’s win only increased her delegate total by 20. She is still far behind Obama in the overall delegate count with 1,717 to Obama’s 1,885.

Hillary was actually getting tolerable after she started acknowledging the writing on the wall that her campaign was sputtering out. She’s behind in the overall delegate count, the superdelegate count, and her campaign is running on borrowed funds. Yes, for awhile there it looked as though she was looking for the proper place and time to step aside. But that was then, this is now as she is proudly proclaiming:

“This race isn’t over yet.”

Great! Six more weeks of negativity from her campaign speeches as she tries to do the impossible, and that is win! Great, just great!

We all love our Mother’s, and have different ways of showing it. But I would suggest that using her in a political campaign ad might not be the best way to show how much you love your Mom. But I do admire how candid his Mom is.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mother’s out there!

Mother Jones focuses in on John McCain’s Pastor problem. But why, oh why is the mainstream media being quiet about his endorsements form radical Pastors?

During a 2005 sermon, a fundamentalist pastor whom Senator John McCain has praised and campaigned with called Islam “the greatest religious enemy of our civilization and the world,” claiming that the historic mission of America is to see “this false religion destroyed.”

In March 2008—two weeks after McCain appeared with Parsley at a Cincinnati campaign rally, hailing him as “one of the truly great leaders in America, a moral compass, a spiritual guide”—Mother Jones reported that Parsley had urged Christians to wage a “war” to eradicate Islam in his 2005 book. McCain’s campaign refused to respond to questions about Parsley, and the presumptive Republican presidential nominee declined to denounce Parsley’s anti-Islam remarks or renounce his endorsement.

Seems that when the shoe is on the other foot so to speak, everybody keeps quiet. Its already setting a bad precedent when one candidate gets raked over the coals for his relationship with a religious leader, but the other candidate gets a free pass from the press. I hope this changes soon.

Is “loosing his bearings” a reference to somebody’s age? Maybe, by a very very long stretch. The McCain campaign is taking offense to a remark Barrack Obama made during a CNN interview today, calling the remark an “underhanded reference to the fact that McCain is 71 years old.”

During the interview Obama accused McCain of trying to smear him by saying that the Palestinian militant group Hamas favored his candidacy.

“And so for him to toss out comments like that I think is an example of him losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination.”

McCain advisor Mark Salter replied to the comment by saying:

“Obama’s attack today: He used the words ‘losing his bearings’ intentionally, a not particularly clever way of raising John McCain’s age as an issue. This is typical of the Obama style of campaigning.”

I think the McCain camp should relax just a wee bit about this so-called “attack”, which really isn’t an attack on McCain’s age at all. Loosing one’s bearings is more of a reference to one’s particular place and direction in a particular situation, not so much about one’s age. Now if Obama would have replaced “bearings” with “marbles,” then that’s a different situation all together!

Just by McCain’s advisors coming to his defense about Obama’s innocent remark slightly proves that his campaign is more worried about McCain’s age that Obama is. Kind of makes you wonder if the McCain camp is gearing up for some sort of “reverse psychology” spin on the age angle? You know, every time Obama says something innocent like “applesauce,” the McCain camp will fly into a rage citing attacks on McCain’s age.

Fact is John McCain is 71 years old, which would make him the oldest person to ever be president of the United States, if of course he gets there, so he’d better get used to the references to his age. Because everybody, not only Obama will be keeping that fact in the back of their minds.

Applesauce!
