McCain’s Stunt

Josh Marshall:

He can’t debate Barack Obama because he’s got to go to Washington and save the economy? It’s like the biggest ‘dog at my homework’ in history.

McCain is trying to postpone Palin’s debate by delaying his debate to take over her spot. He knows damn well Palin is an idiot. The CBS interview is a proof.

McCain Wants to Postpone Debate

McCain seeks to delay Friday’s debate using the economic crisis as an excuse. Obama doesn’t back down and the University of Mississippi wants to go forward. If McCain wants to “solve” the economic crisis, let him do it. Meanwhile, let Palin substitutes him.

McCain’s Big Fat Lie

In last Sunday interview with CNBC, McCain lied about his campaign manager, Rick Davis, regarding to Davis’s involvement with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. McCain said that Davis “has had nothing to do with it since, and I’ll be glad to have his record examined by anybody who wants to look at it.” New York Times jumped on the case and reported:

One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month from the end of 2005 through last month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain’s campaign manager, according to two people with direct knowledge of the arrangement.

McCain might have to fire his campaign manager to cover up his lie.

Palin’s Sexist Treatment

CNN‘s Campbell Brown calls out the McCain campaign for covering up Palin as if she’s “a delicate flower that will wilt at any moment.” Damn right, let the vice president candidate speaks for herself.

Just a thought. I think Brown should conduct an interview with Palin. That would be fantastic. I am sure we’ll learn a lot more about Palin.

Obama to Reform Washington

An impressive outline of Obama’s plan to reform Washington. The idea of an open and transparency government sounds great. He will allow us to read the bills online five days before he signs them and meetings will be broadcast online for us to see. No more secrecy. No more McCain.

Coffeenatic Relaunched

Although I haven’t seen the previous version, I am loving what I see at Coffeenatic. Beautiful layout with great use of coffee color and the coffee-stain napkin is a great touch.
