This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

Luckily for FDR when he went on TV he didn't have to deal with Chris Matthews, Sean Hannity or Keith Olbermann.

Two interesting bits here.
1. McCain has already started runnnig ads saying that he won the debate.
2. Ex-McCain adviser, Craig Shirley, says McCain "blinked" and Obama didn't when it came to how to handle the economic crisis.
Apparently, after taking mountains of crticism for saying he wouldn't attend the debate until a bailout solution had been reached, McCain now went back on his promise and will attend.
Heard Newt Gingrich on NPR this morning. His advice to McCain, actually to any presidential candidate at this time, is to take a position and say you won't budge from it. Be firm. Be decisive. Obviously that isn't happening with McCain.

My expectations are for McCain to go senile on all the issues, and to drool a little over the counter. He is an angry old cripple who needs help wiping his ass.

Hi 2:25,
Are you on your pills? You keep posting the same make-fun-of-the-old joke on each post.
Don't you need to defrost something before hubby comes home?
We all know what needs to be defrosted.

What needs defrosting that we all know?
I want some of those pills that old-guy-hater is on if they will de-stress me during the debate. I hate McCain for much more intellectual reasons.
Like, oh my god, he has a D after his name.

'Evening, Michael. I've just returned from the supermarket with a few colas made by Jones Soda Company. They're putting two different labels on their cola, have you seen them?
People now have a chance to vote early and often for their Presidential candidate, by buying either "Pure McCain Cola," or "Yes We Can Cola." Be careful drinking this cola - each bottle contains 24 mg of caffeine. Neither candidate has endorsed Jones Soda; neither has Jones Soda become affiliated with either Presidential candidate.

Over at CNN, Jack Cafferty freaks out over Palin's interview with Katie Couric:
Wolf Blitzer: Jack, we woke up this morning and didn't know for sure if there was going to be a debate.
Jack Cafferty: If there was no deal I thought he wasn't gonna show up.
Wolf: There is going to be a debate.
Cafferty: So he's changed his mind.
Wolf: Yes.
***
Cafferty: There's a reason the McCain campaign is keeping Governor Sarah Palin away from the press. I want to play you an excerpt from an interview that Sarah Palin did with CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric, where she was asked about the bailout. Listen to this.
[Plays scary, rambling excerpt from Couric interview of Palin on question on why not use money from bailout to help Americans who are struggling]
Cafferty: Did you get that? If John McCain wins this woman will be one 72-year old' heartbeat away from the presidency. AND IF THAT DOESN'T SCARE THE HELL OUT OF YOU, IT SHOULD...[turning to WOLF] I'm 65 and have been covering politics for a long time - that's one of the most pathetic pieces of tape I have ever seen from someone aspiring to one of the highest offices in the country. That's all I have to say.
Wolf: She's been cramming a lot of information --
Cafferty: [interrupting] There is NO excuse for that, she's supposed to know a little bit of this. Don't make excuses for her. That's pathetic.
Wolf: It was not her best answer.

Both were good. McCain never looked so good. The debate changed nothing.
