"John McCain is so old that on Wednesday, when former Bill Clinton speaks, it is important to realize that Clinton spent 8 years as President, 8 years as a former President, and is STILL ten years younger than McCain.
Kudlow is back on the blow. Democratic convention to blame for stock market dip. Apparently, Democrats are so bad for the economy they can bring down the market BEFORE their convention even starts.

This is just absurd:

John McCain told a crowd at a fundraiser that his wife is on her way to the embattled nation of Georgia, an announcement coming just hours before Barack Obama’s wife makes a high-profile speech at the Democratic National Convention.

McCain told a crowd that wife, Cindy, was to accompany him on his visit to California and he apologized for her absence.

“Cindy is not here today and I’m sorry she’s not,” said McCain. “She’s on her way to the little country of Georgia.”

I guess she is planning on a run for President in eight years should her hubby win. I hope she gets videotape of the snipers on the tarmac. On the other hand, if she does get shot at by snipers a la the Tuzla Tigress, she will then have more combat experience than the entire staffs of the NRO and the Weekly Standard.

In all seriousness, why is she going to Georgia? Why is McCain not being openly ridiculed for this?

8:55 pm: I hope when Rachel gets her own show, she and Pat Buchanan go at it regularly.
10:42: Sorry. Nodded off. Woke up to a video montage to Hillary, and for a split second thought she had died and this was the tribute."
