McCain, Clinton & Edward VIII: It's About Who You Are And Who You Slept With

Edward VIII had an affair with Mrs. Simpson. He abdicated his throne. Some think it was romantic. One fact is certain. People still talk about this episode in Britains history of monarchs.

Senator John McCain has been accused of having an affair with a "lobbyist" . McCain is being verbally stoned in the press. Bill Clinton had an affair with an over-sexed, star-struck intern. He was impeached. Question. If McCain's And Clinton's paramours were somewhat cultured and refined would the public reaction have been mitigated? If McCain or Clinton were really in love would that have tempered opinion?

Maybe its because we think so little of McCain and Clinton to begin with that these illicit affairs are just more evidence of the lack of admiration and credibility these two gents deserve. We know particularly that Bill Clinton has and would screw anything that would stand still. Even if that meant that Bill would have to bite Juanita's lip!

Joe Lieberman Endorses/Gropes John McCain

Whining Zionist Senator Joe Lieberman, who is shameless over his Israel-first policies is John McCain's new best friend. Lieberman's endorsement of McCain and the many photo- ops of them together amounts to a quasi-groping of the fragile McCain by the greedy Lieberman. I guess that McCain needs heat from any source. No doubt that Joe wants the second spot on the ticket. How long it would it take for McCain to pass away from "natural causes" if the two were elected?

How Can Bush Help McCain ?

"Baghdad ( Reuters) The U.S. military said on Sunday [February 17, 2008] it had evidence Iranian-backed Shiite militias in Iraq were increasingly using secret weapons to attack U.S. and Iraqi forces."

This includes rogue elements of cleric Moqtada al-Sadr and his Mehdi Army. Al-Sadr has voluntarily abided by a ceasefire for the past 6 months. Why? Probably bribed. But now that the "surge has worked" largely because of paying/bribing Sunni militias $10 per day to stop fighting their usefulness may have been fully realized.

But the new goal of the Bush Administration is to get McCain elected. So how best can Bush help? Bush is a unique super delegate. He can change the political calculus with a simple command from his postion as commander in chief. Suppose Bush provoked al-Sadr by attacking his forces? Would a reignition of Baghdad fighting help or hurt McCain? I'll bet that there is at least a 2 out of 3 chance that Bush will do something to reheat Baghdad .This would pull together again the republican base and would take some of the democratic momentum away no matter what Obama or Clinton say.
