Is This Why Huckabee is Staying in the Race?
Rumors are swirling that John McCain was involved in an extra-marital affair during the 2000 campaign. What makes this worse is that the woman involved is a Washington lobbyist. Now we've always thought Republicans were in bed with the representatives of Big Business but this takes the cake.
I don't know if this is true or not, and I certainly have no information that anybody else has, but I have to wonder, is Mike Huckabee staying in the race hoping that this blows up before the convention? Everybody is saying that Huckabee is destroying his own credibility among Republicans by staying in the race, but if and this is a big IF, this does blow up on McCain, then as the man with the second most number of delegates he would be the obvious choice to replace McCain as the nominee.
And even a loss by Huckabee under these circumstances would mean a lot of power in the GOP for the Huckster.

I guess I'm not making the connection. Maybe cherry is a better flavor.

But it was all about the stupid people who took out the loans...
Appears the FBI is investigating the practices of many of the large Wall St companies who brought us the Sub-Prime crisis. Everything from insider trading to accounting fraud to manipulated home appraisals.
It is probably too much hope at this point for a lot of people to go to jail over this, but it should be a fun ride.

Today's Deregualtion Tidbit
In the news today...
Sure it sounds like just an ordinary case of a rotten apple in the business world, but wait it gets better. This rotten apple from the business world sold 37 million pounds of possibly contaminated meat to the USDA before being caught and shut down. I know I know lets cut the budget for the USDA and deregualte the industry some more. That'll solve this issue!
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Sunday that a California
meatpacking company had launched the recall of 135 million pounds of beef -- the
largest meat recall in U.S. history -- following questions about the company's
treatment of cattle that were slaughtered even though they could not stand up.

Dumb and Arrogant? Yep.
I wonder what right wingers think about when they read articles like this one by Susan Jacoby which discusses that Americans are not just getting dumber but are arrogant about the fact.
It goes along way to explaining why America is beginning to be surpassed in the world. Too many people who believe in Free Trade without thinking about what it really means. And it certainly isn't open trade borders on our side while other countries protect their own markets.
Global Warming denial.....
Sub-Prime Mortgage crisis....
Iraq & Afghanistan...
These and many other problems caused by people who have a one size fits all ideological approach to every problem in the world and ofcourse George W. Bush is the ultimate poster child for this. Remember in 2000 when it didn't matter that the man who was to become President didn't give a rats ass about anything that happened outside of Texas?
