What the Hell is Left for them to Steal? Our Donkey?

I am listening to Crazy Sarah (that is how I think of her, more than any other way, but I digress).

Ok. Yes, you would expect them to talk about the economy, particularly with the Lehman Bank filing for B'ruptcy, and Merril selling off to BofA. But the talking points? She was talking about how the regulatory system is antiquated, and how corporate mangers are self dealers, and they plan to go after bad managers who get golden parachutes.

Shit. They stole out right the typical Dem points about how corporations (often) suck and can't be trusted.

What da efwk!

But there was a lot of hot air there, and no specifics. Trust us to reform, even if we both me and John McCain are up to our necks with the same corporate lobbyists who sold the ideas that are partially behind the current market disaster, right here in our campaign staff, never mind exactly who our big dollar contributors are. BTY. Where is that particularly well known as bad corporate executive, Carly Fiorina (who herself got a $21,000,000.00 golden parachute after crashing HP into the reef?) I would love to see some vid of her supporting the New (not really anything close to a) Economic Plan.

Anyway . . .

Oh she is still using her half-lie about putting the jet on ebay (that is how Alaska has dealt with it's 'surplus' dating from before she showed up in Juneau, never mind she used a broker to dump the asset, as a loss, mind you. She never says that part, the damned liar), and the bridge to nowhere lie. That is so close to being totally a lie that I just call it a full lie. That actually is about the most verifable lie told in a national political campaign since Nixon claimed to NOT be Crook.

Lying liars!

Edit to add: I know I am the stubborn and opinionated one, but I DETEST that whole corn pone, rube, corny folksy stuff (unless the person in question is playin' Delta Blues).

I mean, I do get it, that lots of people are falling in love with Crazy Sarah.

I don't go for that shit, myself; not for my choice of national level government officers. I want the person who seems like the smartest, best prepared, most wonky person in the room, to be in charge of the organs of state that affect my security, and economy; not the person who might be an endearing neighbor.

And I will never apologize for it.
