Rachel Maddow just said that McSame is to start his speech at 9:11

[SeattleGirl]

local time (Minnesota time).

Jeebus Christ on a crutch. There is absolutely nothing they won't exploit, is there?

[Lex]

1. No. There is nothing they won't exploit.

You are right about that.

[Kdillard]

2. How subtle??

[liberal renegade]

3. isn't that special

[doublethink]

4. Ha .... someone posted in DU last night that Rudy G would do that ....

we all laughed !!! These repubs I tell ya ..... geesh

[NorthCarolina]

5. Palin said her son deploys to Iraq on 9-11

in her speech last night.

[terrya]

I'm surprised he's not doing the speech from Ground Zero.

Shameless. As usual.

[whistle]

6. Perhaps it will also run 58,209 words

[Franks Wild Years]

7. If true: Why doesn't he just be honest about it?

Make a mock up of a cemetary with graves of 9/11 victims and proceed to pull down his underwear and piss all over them whilst screaming "political capital! political capital!". It would be a more respectful move as far as I'm concerned.

[SeattleGirl]

8. Indeed. Why doesn't he?

Except that they are much more in love with code and imaging.

Though I bet anything that they will show NYC again on the screen.

[bushisanidiot]

9. Holy friggin' crap!

they are such idiots! is that supposed to make them more patriotic somehow??

why didn't they have McCondo give his acceptance speech from ground zero on 9/11? why beat around the bush??

[SeattleGirl]

11. Maybe McSame is scared that the good people in NYC would

turn on him?

[BadgerKid]

10. It's all appearances & no substance. n/t

[SeattleGirl]

12. 'cause that's all they got. n/t

[ikojo]

13. When the so called opposition party takes so much

off the table, of course the repugnicans are going to exploit a situation.
They KNOW the media wont criticize, after all the numbers 9-1-1 are almost like the cross, beyond criticism. G-d forbid they be accused of being LIBERAL...doesn't bother Fox to be called the official network of the GOP but NBC, CBS, and ABC seem to turn tail and run anytime they are called LIBERAL.

They KNOW the Democrats wont say anything because after all John McCain is the ONLY person to have been a POW during Viet Nam and ONLY John McCain is a HERO (I am tired of defining a HERO by his/her military service. To me the heroes are those who are trying to change things in the inner cities..oops there I go praising community organizers!).

The Democrats are too busy giving people a reason TO VOTE for John McCain by beginning every sentence with "he's an honorable man, he's a hero, we honor his military service, blah, blah, blah." People are going to think, "um...if he's a hero and so honorable why NOT vote for him?"
