STupid

"In truth, I don’t expect much from John McCain, who has both admitted not knowing much about economics and denied having ever said that. Anyway, lately he’s been busy demonstrating that he doesn’t know much about the Middle East, either." Um, yeah.

So wait a minute, why hasn't the media been ON this?? Last week John McCain said that Iran was training Al-Qaeda operatives and sending them into Iraq, and good 'ol Joe Lieberman had to point out to him that he was muy incorrecto. And this man wants us in Iraq until the end of time. Great scenario we got here.

Well, Richa, it's because the media is still reeling from Obama's speech on race, (which I really, really enjoyed......but it is, of course, infusing race into the election (almost to the point where I feel like many individuals, of all races, are just DYING to vote for Obama because he's black), which it's totally detracting from ISSUES yet again.....which is again and again the most frustrating thing about this entire primary.....absolutely. NO. focus. on. policies. whatsoever.....).

So the speech was awesome, even if it did turn race into an even bigger issue in the election. But what it also did, was spark Bill Richardson's endorsement of Obama. James Carville (one of my favorites) makes me laugh: "Mr. Richardson's endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing if appropriate is ironic."

Wowwww, didn't the Clintons, like, make his career? Oh well. An Obamaphile is an Obamaphile is an Obamaphile. OR, Richardson is vying for that VP spot, and he was like "Oops Hillary is losing this, and damn, Obama says some good stuff about race, and I want VP, so time for an endorsement, sorry Hillary, ADIOS CHICA."
In other words, I have an inkling that Bill Richardson, since he (and all of us) know that Obama is virtually going to be the nominee, made this endorsement because he wants Obama to consider him for VP.

We'll see what happens. In the mean time, I continue to hate on the media, and it's style of either overlooking McCain's blunders or ignoring the things that should be important on the policy front. And for Hillary, things are looking more and more dismal every day, even though she definitely won't back out before Pennsylvania, and I'm not sure that she will even after that, which is just going to prolong this entire parade.
