#1 Well, it appears everybody's aware of it.
So why's it keep on happening? Or does the media not care that it's being perceived as having the ethics of a South Side crack whore?

#5 OTOH, NET Poster > opined that in the so-called OBAMESSIAH, Amers will see the worst of both CARTER + BILL CLINTON years redux. Namely:
(1) US trusting IRAN NOT to dev nuclear weapons > new CARTER-ERA SOVIET PROMISE NOT TO INVADE AFGHANISTAN; +
(2) CHANDRA LEVY MURDER as MAN-GATE [vv Barack's alleged homosexuality] > NEW MONICA-GATE???
(3) NEW US WAR IN IRAN OR PAKISTAN = CHANDRA's WAR > NEW MONICA's WAR???
(4) GLOBAL WARMING CRISES > NEW 1970's STAGFLATION + PRICE CONTROLS.
(5) Other.

BLASTS FROM THE PAST.

#6 What's all the fuss? The fluffiest, most inconsequential coverage seems appropriate for the fluffiest, most inconsequential candidate. McCain should be able to take Obama down with the fact that Obama's entire foreign policy experience consists of a week of photo ops.
