McCain: Recession is really kind of a technical term

used by people who are economists and people who aren't married to $100 million heiresses.

But now McCain finally admits we might be in a recession, which perhaps explains why his campaign manager is cozying up to some big-time lobbyists.

we need some serious reform in campaign finance, and that's just for starters.; Tuesday, April 15, 2008 12:01:00 AM

Steve Bates said...: McCain had better watch how he cusses out his wife. You know what they say: heir today, gone tomorrow.

Did you know his wife's father was convicted of liquor law violations? See the article from 2000 whimsically titled "Haunted by Spirits".; Tuesday, April 15, 2008 12:35:00 PM
hipparchia said...: unfortunately, mccain-feingold is exactly what moderates and liberals have dancing in the forefronts of their memory banks when they see mccain.; Tuesday, April 15, 2008 10:22:00 PM
hipparchia said...: The Hensley saga, meanwhile, swirls with bygone accounts of illicit booze, gambling, horse racing, deceit and crime. James Hensley embarked on his road to riches as a bootlegger.

almost makes me like the guy, or at least his father-in-law. almost.

hipparchia said...: yes, he is violating mccain-feingold, and while i saw your point, and find mccain's violations verrry interesting, i'm not sanguine about it making much of splash with voters. or the media. especially the media. is there some way we can impeach them?; Tuesday, April 15, 2008 11:55:00 PM
Anonymous said...: yes, we can impeach the media and should be doing so regularly. impeachment in this sense is like in a court where a witness is proven unreliable.; Wednesday, April 16, 2008 12:27:00 AM
