I know it makes me an America-hating elitist for saying this, but I just wish we had candidates who didn't insult my intelligence--like McCain last Friday night, for all that I disagreed with him.

It is. But I wish he'd said, "assistance for working families who have a hard time paying for heat in the winter" rather than using the acronym.

(Bonus points for any note about how many Alaskans use LIHEAP, since I understand it's cold there.)

I would have spent more time on that. I suspect that right about now, as weather turns colder in much of the country, people are beginning to get pretty scared about heating oil costs.

almost a good question from ifill about phony bipartisanship.

by **pacino** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 22:28:45

yeah, you don't appoint people based on party, you do it based on whether they were your high school buddies!

Palin's family and its "political diversity" I think includes in-laws who won't vote for her.

Uh oh --- it isn't? I didn't know that?

I'm pretty sure if I ran for office, I have some in-laws who wouldn't vote for me. Indeed, I have blood relatives I know wouldn't vote for me.

Sarah Palin suggesting that a vote for Obama/Biden is a vote against freedom?

I can't believe we just got the bastardized version of the Time for a Choosing speech from Palin in the closing.
