McCain is a condescending dick

[hsapiens]

Dear McDickhead,

NEWSFLASH: It is possible to have a philosophical difference on political issues without it being due to your opponent's, "just not understanding."

You came across as a condescending dick every single time you repeated it. I'm a bit sensitive, perhaps, but it struck me as a subtle race dig to imply that Barack Obama fails to understand the issues. That he somehow can't handle the fundamental concepts. That's patronizing and manifestly untrue. Also? Prattling on about someone not understanding when you're the one who chose a running mate who has to be tutored in order to achieve her current level of incoherence? That's some serious chutzpah.

Absolutely no love,
Me

p.s. Yes! I have electricity, cable, AND internet just in time to see the debate. :)

On this last SNL, Tina Fey's Palin was mostly verbatim from the Katie Couric interview. It was insane. It's like, Biden may not be the best choice for Dem veep (my dream team was Obama + Wesley Clark), but at least he has actual experience and knows what he's talking about, even if he IS rambly and gaffe-prone.

I saw that! I haven't tuned into SNL in...years? a decade? but I tuned in, hoping Tine Fey would be on. My brother hadn't seen the Sarah Palin clip and was stunned when I told him the answer was verbatim from Palin's reply. I love the internet; we were able to pull it up so he could see for himself.

Wesley Clark would have been an interesting choice. I don't know a lot about his positions but he's a well-spoken, thoughtful kind of guy. I've seen some Biden "gaffes" and yes, he was incorrect that FDR addressed folks on television in 1929, a real gaffe but a lot his gaffes seem to be of the "willing to speak what's true" like "I might not have been the smartest choice for VP." Couldn't *ANY* candidate claim that? I don't consider that a gaffe but I'm not a fan of issue-free elections.

This financial crisis has done at least one good thing: it has forced us to quit squabbling over stupid tits-for-tats and focused us on exactly how important it is to vote based on *issues.*

Yeah, I was more Obama/Clark because Clark is foxy for an old dude and they'd win by sheer powers of hotness, but his positions are pretty palatable too.

I guess the main Biden gaffe I always remember is early on in the primaries when he called Obama "clean and articulate" and it was like OMG RACIST all over the place. Which wasn't what he meant but he just used loaded words.

LOL! He is pretty, all right.
