So Who Takes McCain’s Place?
Now we find out he and Cindy are tax deadbeats?
Wow, just wow.
This has got to go down as the worst Presidential campaign by a major party since Herbert Hoover’s reelection motorcades were pelted with eggs and rotten fruit. McCain must know how he feels, and the hecklers will only get worse the longer he waits to definitively say George Bush is the Worst President Ever and that he really doesn’t like the guy or anything he did. Unless he does, and that may be impossible if not improbable, they might as well hang a sign over his headquarters that reads, “Abandon hope, all ye that enter here.”
Inept and feckless are descriptors that barely scratch the surface of what a joke the GOP has put up as their sacrificial lamb.
By the time it becomes obvious to the Republican Convention Delegates that they can’t possibly win with this guy, who do you think will be the lucky winner that get’s to take his place, starring as the candidate who will lose in the worst landslide in the history of landslides?
By the way, this might win the prize for the biggest “No Duh!” headline of the year: A Win by McCain Could Push a Split Court to Right. The villagers must be on vacation at the Washington Post, and left their idiot in charge. Dumb, just dumb.

[…] The story has already prompted a predictable response from some of the GOP’s detractors, causing some to label the McCains “deadbeats”, others to call this a “tax scandal” and causing The American Street’s Mark Adams to declare it the end of Big Mac’s presidential bid, with a banner to be hung over the McCain campaign headquarters reading, “Abandon hope all ye that enter here.” […]

Tax notices mis-filed to a wrong address by some secondary or tertiary trust associated with Cindy, not John McCain’s business, then paid once the error was pointed out? The sum being less than 8 grand? This is your scandal? Good lord, this is lame.

Lame is thinking 8 grand is no big deal when it’s the difference between life and death to a lot of people. People that McCain — the 8th richest man in the Senate — wants to convince the other guy is the elitist.
Lame is going on about fixes for the high price of gas, offering nothing but gimmicks and pandering to the rubes — and having zero clue what gas costs.
Lame is the fact that this bill owed to the public coffers went unpaid for years and years.
Lame is being surrounded by lobbyists whose sense of entitlement can be summed up in the attitude that they think they’re just running against “Kerry with a tan.”
Lame is not understanding how fucking fed up we are with lame Republicans and their feudalistic ways.
