The Wednesday ‘BushWhack’ing

Hump day… let’s get a humpin’…

• Sen. Clinton not only laid the smackdown on Sen. McCain twice (“It makes sense that George Bush and John McCain will be together next week in the Twin Cities. Because these days they're awfully hard to tell apart” and “We don’t need four more years of the last eight years.” but also on the poor misguided PUMA’s last night in her DNC speech, telling them; “No way. No how. No McCain.” (If these people that support Hillary SOOOO much don’t pay heed… they’re idiots… and liars… and will be grouped into the same category as Joe Lieberman…)
• Kansas Governor Kathleen Sibelius speaking at yesterday’s DNC; “You might remember a girl from Kansas saying ‘There's no place like home.’ And then there's John McCain: There's no place like home... and home... and home... and home... and....” (Pwned)
• Tonight we have on the docket: former President Bill Clinton, former Senator Tom Daschle; New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, Senators Evan Bayh, John Kerry and Harry Reid. Representatives Jim Clyburn, Robert Wexler and Patrick Murphy. Iraq War veteran Tammy Duckworth (who is also the favorite to be appointed Obama’s senate seat should he get elected) will lead a tribute honoring veterans, active duty military and their families. And finally, to wrap up the evening; Vice Presidential candidate, Sen. Joseph Biden. Be sure to watch it on C-Span… that way you get to hear everything that’s being said and won’t get the inane journalist chatter…
• CNN inane headline of the day as they’ve just recently discovered the concept of bloggers; “Bloggers play key role at Denver convention”… that’s some fine journalistic work there Lou…
• Troy Eid, the Denver U.S. Attorney said yesterday that there wasn’t enough evidence to conclude that the three “meth heads” arrested with drugs and weapons earlier this week posed a “true threat” to Sen. Obama… how’s about we keep an eye on them just the same, mmmkay?
• Before negotiators agreed on a compromise to maintain a troop presence in Iraq to 2011, the Bush(whacked) Administration asked the Iraqi government for permission to maintain a troop presence there to 2015… thank God cooler, and smarter I might add, heads prevailed…
• Rumors and innuendo around DC is that Jack Abramoff and several conservative colleagues are going to soon be sentenced… and the sentencing could come as early as next week… during the republican convention… (Karma, baby!!)
• And have we mentioned? That the number of republicans NOT attending next week’s RNC is growing by the day? While it’s not totally a surprise that Sen. Chuck Hagel is “skipping the GOP convention”, the fact that a slew of others are also passing is… and they are; Pat Roberts of Kansas, Ted Stevens of Alaska, Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina, Gordon Smith of Oregon, Susan Collins of Maine, Larry Craig of Idaho, Wayne Allard of Colorado and John Sununu of New Hampshire… meanwhile Roger Wicker if Mississippi has not yet decided if he will attend or not… which means he won’t be there… (the republicans are in peril… and the number of those not attending the convention supports that. Again, I’m cautiously optimistic that this will help us in November… but stay tuned and do your part anyway. One can never be TOO cautious…)
