Fun with Politics (20)

It’s almost over…or is it?

I have the feeling that we’re stuck with the Clinton/Obama rivalry for a while and I am rethinking my opinion about wanting them both.  It’s hard at times to not get sick of them, although I think primary fatigue, as it’s now known, might subside if we can just cut down the field. That means the primary needs to be over already, and the Florida Governor needs to keep his mouth shut about having a recount. What’s wrong with you? What, you’re addicted to recounts now? Should have had your primary when you were supposed to; you’re like the kid that eats his cake a day early and then complains that his birthday party sucks.

 

Meanwhile, I promised myself to not think about, write about, or talk about Nader.  Apparently the press has decided to do the same. Apart from the announcement of his running mate, there has been a blue-balling the likes of which I’ve never seen.  I guess any coverage of him would cut into CNN’s Saturday Night Live repeats, and that wouldn’t be good.

 

McCain has gotten on this whole “who answers the phone at 3 am in the morning” train, and I wonder: why would we want anyone to answer the phone at that ungodly hour? I’d say, let it ring; if you don’t have the decency to check the time zones before you do something bad to us, you don’t deserve our attention.  Plus, sticking our heads in the sand when bad things come our way is a great strategy; it’s worked for the current administration.

 

By the way, why the hell is Huckabee still here? Enough already! We don’t want you!
