“Here with more, the nationÂ’s finest talking heads.”
=============================
I don’t no if the above statement was used seriously or in jest, as a sarcasm!
Those spinners of news and users of weapons of mass-deception proved to be more dangerous to the security and well-being of our country than a thousand Osama bin Laden!
I agree with my friend, “the beerdoctor” that “watching these useless beltway pundits is enough to give anyone a sense of depression.”
Especially this sick redneck called George Will, who I see as an epitome of evil and hypocrisy!

It’s interesting that people like Will, Gramm and others who say there is no recession; and Americans have a low threshold for pain, are themselves multi-millionaires. Most never worked an honest day in their livesÂ’. They sold their souls to Corporate America from day one. Let’s not kid ourselves; Gramm said what he did because he was told by his party. Republicans want to leave office hoping they can fool the American people again by making them think that we are winning in Iraq and not are in recession. After Obama is installed, Republicans will be the first to say that America is in recession and we are losing in Iraq.
BTW: Didn’t you just love Mark Sanford’s attempt to find differences between the economic policies of Bush and McCain!!!

Watching these useless beltway pundits is enough to give anyone a sense of depression. It bodes ill for Senator McCain to seek advice from Phil Gramm, a totally venal imbecile. Senator Obama is right on this one, we already have one Dr. Phil, we certainly don’t need another.

Phil Gramm Cracker voted for deregulation of the banking and energy industries that led to this “mental recession.” His wife, Wendy, served on the board of directors of Enron. It says a lot about McCain’s lack of judgement that he selected Gramm as his economics advisor. Obama didn’t select Jesse Jackson for anything.

Mr. Will, do not forget to check that your trousers are on. You had led the crusade against the adultery while dividing your time between a mistress and a wife. Who would trust your word? Other double-thinkers?
