A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Hey, I didn’t write this headline. Hat tip to Crooks and Liars, via the AP for this one:
For his part, Republican rival John McCain is seriously considering naming his running mate between the end of the Democratic convention Aug. 28 and the Sept. 1 start of the GOP convention in hopes of stunting any uptick in polls for Obama. McCain has at least three large rallies planned in top battlegrounds Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan, before the Republican gathering in St. Paul, Minn.
His top contenders are said to include Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Less traditional choices mentioned include former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, an abortion-rights supporter, and Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential prick (emphasis mine) in 2000 who now is an independent.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Joe Lieberman being described as a “prick” by the Associated Press may not have been intentional, but a typo; however, given how he’s been a real pain in the ass to the Democratic Party with his enabling of the ReThugs on the things that matter, choosing a “prick” as your running mate couldn’t be a better choice for the compulsive liar, John McCain.
And a fine time was had by all. LOL
