A little vitriol before the "serious" electioneering

Next time you're sitting alone, angry, perhaps nursing a bottle of brown liquor, cradling a high-caliber firearm and wondering why your democracy is so very badly broken, stop and ponder the media:

ITEM! When Sen. Joe Biden's campaign plane landed at Signature Flight Support in St. Louis this afternoon around 4:00 p.m Eastern, Gov. Sarah Palin's plane was still on the tarmac. How did I know? Because Palin's plane actually says "McCain-Palin"--unlike Biden's, which features the name of Minneapolis's low-cost Sun Country carrier... Wasn't Obama supposed to be the candidate with all the cash?

ITEM! The meal on board Joe Force One this afternoon was the appropriately named "Philadelphia Executive Pack": a cheesesteak or chicken cheesesteak with a soft pretzel and Tastykake on the side...

Thank you, Andrew Romano, for giving all of us without press passes yet another reason to laugh at, revile and outperform you. Enjoy that cheesesteak, dripping with what you call "clever."
