Falsies

.
MSNBC offers a little poll this morning. What did McCain's speech accomplish. Hmmmm. "Nothing" is not an option.

Funny how the McCainstream media keeps on hangin' around, panting for praise...like with positive-only options in the MSNBC poll. Is this the way the "real" polls operate, too? No wonder the media gets to game their horserace.

Meanwhile, you've got both McCain and Palin hiding out from the media, giving a nice little softball interview with Charlie Gibson to launch the convention. You remember Charlie Gibson--ol' flagpin, flagpin, flagpin. So if it's all about flagpins, where was McCain's last night?

Oh, wait, it's all about images, just bigger images. Like that giant waving flag... and the Walter Reed Jr. High (ooops!)... and the faked-up funeral footage... and....

So here's the image: Republicans love them some war.

And peacemaking? Making things better for communities? Being a community organizer? Mock that! United Way? Boy Scouts? Camp Fire Girls? That's so 0 A.D.

Media? You ragged us forever about what you saw as Obama failings. So where's the fair and balanced?

What's that you say? You'll get back to we, the people, soon...right after Nov. 4...right after you lick the BBQ sauce off your fingers?
