This is too good to be true

John "Old Man Yells At Cloud" McCain

This is up on three sites so I feel I had to put it up as well. According to Martin Eisenstadt, some guy who may or may not be making this up, Gawker, and the Daily Kos, which is worse than Hitler and the KKK times a million, Joe Wurzelbacher aka Joe the Plumber aka "Our New Populist Messiah", might be related to Robert Wurzelbacher........Charles Keating's son-in-law who was implicated in the Keating 5 scandal, and sentenced to 40 months in prison in 1993.

Dear God, if this is true I gotta hand it to the McCain campaign. You are already running an all-time bad campaign, but with this you could be setting a bar for incompetence that may never be outdone for decades. You are the Bob Beamon of bad politics. Somewhere in the future, on Mars outpost 314-A6-9TY there might be some meathead running for Algae and Space Pornography Commissioner as poorly as you are running for President, but I doubt it.

EDIT: Stupid reality comes in and invades my happiness with the truth. Great, now I guess I'm not supposed to believe that story of the missing hobos, shallow graves, and suspicious tasting ribs at the McCain compound.

Elephant in the room

Obama campaign today:

"It is now clear that both John McCain and Rick Davis did not tell the truth about Davis's continuing financial relationship with Freddie Mac, one of the actors at the center of this financial crisis. It's troubling not only that Davis's firm—with which he is still associated and which the McCain campaign paid directly last year—continued to be compensated by Freddie Mac until as recently as last month, but that the firm did little work and apparently was being paid simply to provide access to the McCain campaign.

"The question that now needs to be answered is this: did Freddie Mac or any other special interests buy access to John McCain by compensating top officials, including Rick Davis?" said Obama-Biden communications director Dan Pfeiffe

Whether they got play for pay is debatable, there is no question that they were undoubtedly trying to get it. But it's Keating Five not like Keating Five John McCain Keating Five has ever Keating Five gotten himself Keating Five into these Keating Five situations before, right?
