The Thursday ‘BushWhack’ing

Question: Why is disgraced Rep. Tom DeLay getting airtime? Anyone?

• Sen. Obama’s 30-minute campaign commercial last night was a resounding success… naturally Sen. McCain tried to squelch the success but instead came off as someone who was more jealous of Obama having the money to do such a thing than anything else…
• Apparently CNN just learned that retiree and student voters exist and aren’t just worried about themselves but their children and grandchildren and about ethics and economics respectively…
• Seventy-six Nobel Prize laureates in science endorsed Obama yesterday and cited his “commitment to improving U.S. competitiveness by boosting science, technology, education and research” as the reasoning behind the endorsement. The group of 76 also took the announcement as an opportunity to criticize the Bush(whacked) Administration for “damaging scientific development.”
• McCain says race won’t decide this election…if McCain’s addle-minded brain can determine that, everyone should be able to…
• Obama has strengthened his electoral map lead in CNN’s so-called “Poll of Polls.” What does that mean? Absolutely nothing…
• Oh, Exxon Mobil’s third-quarter profits were $14.83 billion and shattered its own record for the biggest profit from operations by a U.S. corporation… doesn’t that make you feel better?
• With each passing day of shilling for McCain, Sen. Joe Lieberman comes that much closer to being politically insignificant in the event of a large Democratic take-over of the Senate, and in the process will lose his chairmanship on the Senate Homeland Security Committee… (Bout time…)
• And have we mentioned? That a new poll from the University of Texas and the Texas Politics Project found 23%, nearly a quarter of those responding, wrongly think that Sen. Obama is a Muslim. Some good news is that 45% accurately identified him as Protestant, while another 28% did not know Obama’s religion and 0.2% believe that Obama is a Hindu – don’t ask me where that one came from – (while the pollsters did not speculate why so many Texans wrongly identify his religion, I will… lying. Pure, unadulterated lying by conservatives in a desperate attempt to monger some fear...)
