I did some work in San Fran in the late 90s. That was a freak show on the ride in every morning.

Looks more like McCain was. McCain certainly was obsequious of Obama during the last election. A+++

Breezy and cloudy today-hope it rains-

The depth of Holder’s problem
Appears to have become double-
But being obsequoius with Issa
Might have saved him the trouble

Of looking so damn guilty that
Obama’s desperate protection
Has set his AG up for everyone
To make the coverup connection

He’s too cluelerss to understand
If stuff like this needs fixin’
The playbook to consult belongs
To Clinton rather than Nixon...

I heard the guys on Fox news this morning using the “W” word loud and clear-all that is missing are the WH “plumbers” and some tapes/e-mails...

I don’t recall ever hearing such a publicized refusal to go to a convention before. They’re not just not going, they are announcing the fact.
