The Kiss of Death

We dipped our toes in the electoral water a few days ago (item immediately below) not even endorsing, merely "recommending" (Is there a difference?) John Edwards, & now it appears he's out of the horse race. On the other hand, we were as mean as possible to Rudy "Benito" Giuliani, & he seems to be history as well, leaving corporatist Mittens the Mormon & warmonger McCain to duke it out on the Republican side. Apparently there is a Republican debateQ&A session tonight from the Reagan Library. (Wasn't the very first Republican Q&A held there, lo these many months ago? Don't go to the well of Alzheimer's too many times, white boys!) We'll see if the two front-runners come to blows. One little question: How does having your aircraft shot out from under you & allowing yourself to be captured by the enemy make you any kind of "war hero?" Makes you an incompetent loser in our book. Top that off by dumping the wife who stayed home & raised your children while you were avoiding further combat. Dumping said wife for a woman 18 yrs. your junior, who just happened to be the heiress to one of the largest beer distributors in the nation. Family values: Do as we say, not as we do!! All abuse aside, it seems McCain is merely lucky. Hope his luck doesn't run out soon, 'cause when a charmed life goes bad... Though Mittens would be as good a candidate as any for the Republican Party. That is, he's sure to get his ass whipped by Clinton or Obama.
