McCain's Concession Speech

   

   John McCain just gave a classy and gracious concession speech.     Good for him.

   (The crowd there with him wasn't gracious, but he was.)

How McCain Can Still Win It

It's a good thing that daylight savings time ends tonight and the clocks get turned back, giving us an "extra hour" of sleep.  You'll need it (as I will), after reading this piece by Steven Hill about how McCain can still win this election.

Ugh.  Sleeping pills, anyone?

Phone Sleaze

McCain is up to his curdled, dimpled ass in phone-related sleaze. 

First, he's covered with doo-doo from the robo-call scandal he has created (see earlier post as well as this).

Second, there's the foul-smelling sweetheart deal that McCain got from Verizon, which agreed to build a cell tower on one of his seven properties.  Phew!   [For more on that, see here.]

Poor Senator McSleaze.  He hasn't had much luck with phones.  See here and here. 

Dishonoring Himself

Whether John McCain wins or loses this race for president, his reputation for being a man of honor is forever gone.  His campaign marks a new low in the annals of political sleaze, as he has adopted or emulated the tactics of Karl Rove and George Bush. The negative, automated phone calls ("robocalls") his campaign has unleashed in swing states are the same "scurrilous stuff" (McCain's words) that Bush and Rove used against McCain in the primaries of 2000.

McCain will have a hard time looking himself in the mirror when this is all over.

Hayden Says It

I haven't the faintest idea who she is, but that's okay:

What's Wrong with McCain?

It's a good question that Cesca asks.    Do you suppose McCain thinks his shtick goes over well?
