Boy, am I glad the editing time-frame hasn't run out.

[Redstone]

There were factors I hadn't considered, and I appreciate having those factors pointed out to me.

Thanks for saving me from myself yet again, folks.

1. Another famous guy gets caught fooling around.

:boring:

[Redstone]

4. But that's not the "news," according to MANY posts here tonight. No, the news is NOT

whether McCain diddled that lobbyist or not, the NEWS is his wife's appearance.

THAT'S what we should be thinking about.

Just EXACTLY like the rightwingers' comments about Chelsea Clinton, even back when she was a 12-year-old girl.

Du has sunk that low.

6. Thank you, Redstone. There are some vicious people on DU

I'm not a Cindy fan but some of these attacks are just plain mean and nasty and really uncalled for. Flame away, folks!!

[Redstone]

11. Hey, you. I had to retract what I originally said, because it seems that Mrs McCain

was the one who jumped ugly first. So I'll reserve my comments until I sort it out.

I'm damn happy to see you still around here; how's your health these days?

2. i have no interest in attacking or praising her, she's a non factor to me right now.

kind of like Laura Bush, you can tell she'd rather be anywhere but there.

3. I'm not sure it would be happening if she hadn't made that comment about Michelle Obama

She stepped beyond being just an innocent family member of an asshole with that and put herself in the line of fire.

[Redstone]

5. Oh, Christ. I should not have posted what I did, without considering that.

Thank you for the heads-up.

12. No problem

We all do it from time to time. Next time you see me forgetting an incident just give me a nudge too. :)

9. When she inserted herself as the "prouder" American...

.... she climbed atop a high horse.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. And it's a long fall off those high horses

Many a bruised ass has been blamed on such falls.

[seabeyond]

7. almost always with you on this. she was a druggie and didnt get in trouble, she was other woman

and i NEVER respect that. as a party is lecturing me on morality adn christianity.

nope, cant do it this time redstone, which says something about me except.... i can say i am only presently a truth.... to her (their) hypocrisy

[Redstone]

13. See my edit of my original post. I stand corrected due to my lack of knowing the

"bigger picture" here, and not for the first time.

You'd think that would make me pay better attention in the future, but that's a faint hope.

8. It's a response to the attacks on Michelle Obama.

[Redstone]

17. Yeah, you're not the first to point that out, though I really do appreciate you doing so.

See my edit of my original post. I typed before thinking on this one.

10. How is McSame boffing a Lobbyiest "attacking his wife"?

Should we act like this is 1950 and gentlemen of substance are allowed to have their peccadillos while the press just winks and nods?

McSame is a public figure running for president. He claims to be Mr. Integrity. He was, until his staff intervened, having an inappropriate relationship with a woman who had business with his legislative agencies. That is an issue that should be brought out into the light, and is certainly of far more substance than, for example, the correct parsing of an off-the-cuff comment by Michelle Obama.

[Redstone]

15. That's not what I was talking about, and you know it. But that won't stop you,

will it?

Yes, I GET that you don't like me.

Redstone

[Warren Stupidity]

16. I actually don't know you and it seems you were talking about

something else. Sorry - my mistake. Hint: try putting enough context in your op so it is clear what you are talking about. I'm sure it was clear to you, it wasn't at all clear to me, and it seems I was not alone.

[smiley_glad_hands]

18. Hey, they were trying to lay it on Michelle, Obama responded quickly.

As long as Obama gets to set the terms of the fight, he's going to win. I think I read earlier that he uses framing.

[EVDebs]

19. I just don't understand it DUers, McCain's biggest fault is his Keating 5 membership

as vividly disclosed in the book Inside Job: The Looting of America's Savings and Loans by Mary Fricker, Stephen Pizzo and Paul Muolo.

McCain bent over backwards to enable these THEIVES. MeCain bent over backward to enable the current batch of thieves in office right now, whose privatizing and outsourcing in the DoD have created an ongoing disaster--even while the idiot sounds off on '100 years' in Iraq !

What is it ? Can't people READ anymore ?
