Another Good Meal Ruined by Palin "Mombies"

Ok. I'm sitting at the bar of this place that I love, eating a fantastic burger and hot chips, when a piece starts on CNN about Palin supporters. All wearing "McCain/Palin" t-shirts, and all with oddly blank looks on their faces, these women were talking about the evils of Obama. The "spokesperson" of this mindless group proudly proclaimed that she didn't want anyone in the White House who has been "pallin' around with terrorists". Talk about ruining a great meal.

To paraphrase Ripley in Aliens, "Did IQ's sharply drop while I was away?" What reasonably sane person could actually still believe that Obama's involvement with Ayers in any way could be construed as "pallin' around"? It's not as if they have been seen hanging out at their corner bar, swapping tales about the good old days over beers. There is no indication that Obama has drawn any of his social or political beliefs from Ayers, or that he has ever taken advice from him. Nor does Obama have anyone advising him that used to work with or aid Ayers in any way. That sort of "terrorist pal", shall we call them, doesn't work for Obama - he works for McCain.

Yes, folks, John McCain has hired a man who worked (thru two agents) with Saddam Hussein himself, trying to get our government to relax its sanctions against Iraq, and get himself a really fat oil deal in the process. And this was after the Gulf War, in case any slow-minded McCain/Palin supporters are having trouble following this. That means that Saddam was a bad guy then. We had just been at war with him. So trying to help Saddam out, while making a little dough for yourself, could perhaps be seen as treason (if one was cynical, that is). Yes, the man I am talking about is one William Timmons, a lobbyist, whom McCain himself hired to be the head of the team that would help McCain make the transition to the presidency if, god help us, McCain actually wins.

So, let's just sum this up so that we all understand. McCain will put a man who used to pal around with Saddam Hussein in charge of setting up the next presidency of the United States. Did everyone get that? Do I need to repeat that?

Now I am not saying that Mr. Timmons' past associations necessarily mean that he is corrupt, anti-American, or untrustworthy (but, duh, obviously he is). But a candidate "pallin' around" with Saddam Hussein's old friend seems a hell of a lot more scary than one who is "pallin around" with Bill Ayers. So if McCain has any brains left (though I am concerned that his are mostly gone given his actions of the past month) he would drop his ridiculous tirades against Obama over Ayers. After all, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Sadly, though, I doubt that any action on the part of McCain now will quiet his mindless supporters. They no longer seem capable of independent thought, and at this point are just spewing out whatever propaganda Palin and McCain articulate. Who would have guessed that hockey moms throughout the United States could be so easily zombified (or "mombified" as I like to say) just by the sound of McCain's high-pitched desperate slurs or Palin's power-hungry mantras.

Next time, I'm watching ESPN while I eat.
