Just as the McCain/Palin desperation flop-sweat starts to really stink up the country, good news arrives in this afternoon's release of new polling results showing Barack Obama and Joe Biden are widening their lead over John "What Economic Problems?" McCain and Sarah "I can see Russia from my House!" Palin.

Not only did Palin lie, she was in fact partly or wholly responsible for the failure of the effort she now claims credit for. She's a cheeky monkey donchaknowit youbetcha!

At the heart of the scandal was Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which took advantage of deregulation in the 1980s to make risky investments with its depositors' money. McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating with federal regulators tasked with preventing banking fraud, and championed legislation to delay regulation of the savings and loan industry -- actions that allowed Keating to continue his fraud at an incredible cost to taxpayers.

Yeah, kill all those drunk ... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Dittoheadn't | December 7, 2005 9:38 AM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
Yeah, kill all those drunk drivers, starting with George Bush, right? You *are* from New England, yes? Know your president's history in this regard?
Ah yes, the highest penalties for every possible crime. That's what made America the #1 jailer in the world per capita.
Oh, I forgot: neocons and facts don't mix.
TTFN,

It reminds me of a law school exam question.

DittoTroll: If you'd read the article you would see that what happened was that one multiple-offender drunk driver killed another drunk driver, thus sparing the taxpayers the expense of incarcerating two of them. If you knew anything about the law around here you would know that incarceration of drunk drivers comes only after all the mandatory alchohol treatments, license losses, etc., and then only after they've killed someone. They rarely spend more than a few months in prison regardless of the length of their assigned sentence.

too obvious, and too easy, but rummor has it that dittoheadn't's most favorite senator's last name starts with a K and ends with a drive off a bridge.

John-good to know something went better (*brighting a rainy day*)than expected today. Usually don't pick fights, but frustrations at seticlassic, small dead animals and weather (hasn't been warm enough to rain for awhile) carried over and couldn't let the comment slide. My mind keeps wandering (so what else is new..) back to 'natural selection' as it relates to the article...but there I go being mean again.

I second the law school exam comment -- what was the proximate cause of the victim's death: exiting a vehicle, drunk, and fighting in the middle of the street at night, or being hit by a car while in the middle of the street?

Is this an example of Darwinism or Intelligent Design?

*Darwinism or Intelligent Design* good question, was that on the bar exam?
*Bushitler* - Well, it is the holiday season and time to celebrate!

Ditto:
You missed the memo - you missed the facts - and you missed history class. The most "celebrated" drunk drivng "accident" of all time was your buddy Kennedy - yes, he lives in Massachusettes - same guy. And no, the taxpayers didn't save any money finding him guil.. - er, I mean innoc...., no, no, I mean just a free man. Obviously Darwinism or "Intelligent" Design failed in mr. kennedy's extra-vehicular activity.
