Humpty hump
The McCain camp continues to employ the I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I method of campaigning. Or are they consulting the I’m-rubber-you’re-glue game book? Whatever. The high school bullies are on a friendly fire rampage that’s become more entertaining than Kathie Lee Gifford on a Carnival Cruise and whatever happens on November 4th, I’m gonna miss this circus. Well, just a little. I have to admit it will be nice not to be spitting expensive California rosé out my elitist nose every thirty-seven seconds each news cycle. For all the neener-neenering, I do think someone ought to remind the Republicans not to point the finger because when you point? There are three fingers pointing back at you.
The Huffington Post today reported on the GOPs effort to assuage their Neiman Marcus shopping spree guilt, by pointing out this equally offensive move by Obama:
“Republican strategist Brad Blakeman, responding to a question about how John McCain could square his opposition to wasteful spending with the RNC shelling out over $150,000 on clothes and accessories for Sarah Palin, said that the real outrage is Barack Obama “taking a 767 campaign plane to go visit Grandma.” This is the same grandmother who raised Obama and who is very seriously ill. Blakeman continued, “Forget about the energy that is wasted, what about the hundreds of thousands of dollars to take a private trip when this guy should be humping his bags on a commercial plane or taking a smaller plane. Taking a 767 of campaign money from people who could least afford it is more of an outrage in my opinion.” Anchor David Schuster, laughing, replied, “That is one of the most valiant tries I have ever seen in this entire debate about Sarah Palin’s clothing allowance.”
I have to agree with Blakeman about Obama’s outrageous method of transportation. Given that he is the Messiah, he could have just walked to Hawaii.
