Moral Bankruptcy-Summer Edition

.
In a week when we've been treated to the twin spectres of political grandstanding at its most low--McCain slavering over warmongering and Matalin's avatar Corsi sleazing about Obama--the weekend, according to CNN, will put both presidential candidates on view for questioning on their faith and values. The conversations with Rev. Rick Warren are supposed to tell us about the character of each of these two.

I've been seeing more than I want of the character of one of the candidates this week. John McCain's unabashed, craven, covetous rush for the Presidency was on display as he grabbed the microphone to lash out against Russia for the situation in Georgia and for all manner of sins going back to the Cold War.

Maybe nobody's told McReckless that someone else is President. I know it's hard to believe when the playing-boy President is doin' cheers with the flag and Pootie-poot while havoc was erupting in Georgia. But then, that's what happens when you've mortgaged your country and your soul to the Chinese...you must pretend that their games are your life's highest priority.

Or maybe they are.

Meanwhile, if McCain...or his handlers...or his Rovian-schooled advisors think that giving the American people a glimpse of an even more reckless, more bellicose, more opportunistic war-monger than Bush 43 is a smart idea, well...maybe not so much.

And speaking of Rove, in the crucible of the vile Jerome Corsi smear book, has there ever been a female doppelganger more morally bankrupt than Corsi's project manager/editor, Mary "a good piece of scholarship" Matalin? No wonder she scuttled out of Foggy Bottom. But doesn't New Orleans have enough problems already?

We Are All Trollops Now....

Earlier this week at the Sturgis motorcycle rally, Senator John McCain offered up his wife, Cindy, for the Miss Buffalo Chip contest. I'll spare you the videos of past contest entrants. We must think of the children...

And McCain's idea of a comparison for Obama? Paris and Britney.

What is it with McCain and younger blonde women *shhhh*Vicki Iseman*shhhhh*?

And why on earth would any Hillarywoman talk about, much less even consider, supporting a candidate who both professionally—politically—and personally objectifies women including his own wife into sleazy sex object roles?

We won't even discuss his rape joke here.

Sense of humor? Why is this funny?

Give me the gentleman on the left.

"Relax and Enjoy It"

.
That's Joe Lieberman's reaction to the McCain "I'm proud of this..." celebrity ad.

Yeah, right.

Sounds like Joe's tryin' out for Viagra spokesman a la Bob "Down Boy" Dole. Guess L'il Joey needs to plan for something after November 4, 'cause he's gonna be Senatora non grata with the Dems and used garbage with the Rethugs.

Better rest up, Hadassah.

At long last...

At long last, John McCain and your Big Oil-funded radical rightwing smear machine, have you no shame?
.
The only thing missing was Depity Dawg doing the delivery...or was it too low even for him?
.
Then again, maybe Depity had other priorities at the time...
