Anybody who choses Phil feckin’ Gramm as his economic adviser is prima facie dumber than a clod of baked mud.

Ah yes, Phil Gramm, author of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, otherwise known as the “Enron Bill”.

There is even talk that McCain would make Gramm his Treasury Secretary. Just think, the author of the Enron Bill in charge of the US Treasury. How scary is that?

Historic losers. Even the black community doesn’t support Powell anymore.

Has the “creative class” decided to follow up its pushing white males and all females out of the party by pushing seniors out, too?

So who’s left?

However, to think that it is wise for any of them to START a NEW job is just plain stupid.

He has no administrative experience: never a governor, never a mayor, never ran a business.

And he’s had melanoma four times. For someone with no hands on experience, and in questionable health, I take a look at the p[eople around him who may actually be running things–and there it’s just appalling.

Show me a John McCain who says he will re-hire Richard Clarke for national security–who would put James Lee Witt in charge of FEMA again–show me an environmentalist in his entourage–and I’d listen.

But his brain trust is filled with lobbyists and lunatic preachers. And the best I can say about McCain is that he’s careless.

We can’t afford careless.

On the rare occasions when Hilary or Barack get asked questions on policy, they are sharp, they are prepared, they can explain their ideas in detail. John McCain smiles, acts folksy, jokes, and doesn’t do it.

This country is in deep trouble. The middle class can’t afford their houses, health care, or to drive their cars. We are pariahs in the eyes of the world and our military is falling apart.

I am sick and tired of stupid, careless people who don’t know their stuff, sit in their machine-generated bubbles, who wait for their staff to put together their positions for them, and who have never shown the least ability to actually solve real-world problems . I’m tired of competence and intelligence being denigrated in favore (once again!) of folksy charm.

We can’t afford any more incurious, intellectually lax, incurious, unprepared clowns in the White House. The next one will put us smack dab into has-been second class nation status.

Saw that. Kind of thing that’d give McSame wood — 20 years ago. Now it prob’ly gives him a Kingsford charcoal briquet.

Deadeye Dick, KKKarl Rove or will they work in shifts?

McCorpse’s lapses must elicit misty-eyed nostalgia for those who long for a reprise of Ronnie Ray-Gun’s addled second term.
