A BIG FAT 'HUH?'

JOHN McCAIN
In Minnesota on Friday, John McCain told his town hall audience that Obama is a decent guy. He went on to say that they needn't be afraid of Obama as President. Huh? Me thinks that Obama has even won McCain over. Or is it possible that McCain has looked over his shoulder and caught sight of his own karma chasing him down?

In Arlington, VA on Sunday, McCain said "I'm going to whip his you-know-what in the debate".
Oh, really, Mr. McCain? Game on.

SARAH PALIN
When asked if she has seen the Saturday Night Live Tina Fey impersonations, she responded "Yes, I have. But I keep the sound muted." Huh? Just one more case of bad judgement.

And referring to the decision in the Alaska Troopergate investigation, a reporter asked Palin if she abused her power as governor. Palin said "No, and if you read the report you'll see that there was nothing unlawful or unethical about replacing a cabinet member. You gotta read the report, sir." Huh? Maybe Sarah Palin should read the report.

THE ECONOMY
Fox Schmooze constantly prefaces reports on the economy with "IF we go into a recession" and "we have the 'potential' for a serious recession". Huh? What planet is Fox broadcasting from?


VERY SPECIAL NOTE
It turns out that McCain has re-scheduled to appear on Letterman this Thursday. Set your TIVO's and grab some popcorn. This should be great TV!

(A little background.... about 3 wks ago, McCain was supposed to make an appearance on Late Night. Then at the last minute, he called Dave and told him that he was 'suspending' his campaign and was headed back to Washington to help push the Bail Out bill thru. Told Dave, himself, that he was jumping on a plane in a few minutes. Then, voila! While substitute guest Keith Olberman was sitting there listening to Dave tell this tale, they discovered, while on air, that McCain hadn't jumped on a plane afterall. He was right across the street filming a live interview with Katie Couric. Dave was livid, to say the least. Ever since that moment, Dave has been on a one-man mission to take down the Republican ticket. His motto? "The road to the White House runs right through here.")
