One-Way Gate of Praise
From the ticker: “McCain credits Bush for recent $10-a-barrel drop in oil price.” But of course he didn’t blame him for any of the rise in that price. The story notes that McCain believes it is the psychological effect of Bush’s lifting the ban on offshore drilling that did the trick–in spite of the fact that it would be almost twenty years before any oil from those wells hit the market. Funny that the recent news about gigantic oil reserves in Brazil didn’t prevent the rising prices of late.

He can also tie his shoes, ride his bike real fast, and buckle his pants like a big boy.
He can’t eat a pretzel or ride a Segway.
Is there really any statistical chance that that bumbling old fool could actually be the next president? I mean, really? I’ve seen the polls, but…good lord, spend five minutes watching him speak!
(Caveat: In September 2000, I was sitting behind a university library desk, chatting with my work-study colleagues. “Psshh, no one would vote for Bush. Just listen to him! I mean, really?” Deja vu all over again.)
“there’s no way they’d elect Bush twice.”
