You Have Been Warned, Ms. Ifill

Well. Gwen Ifill, moderator of this Thursday's debate between Senator Joe Biden and Governor Sarah Palin, has a broken foot. Seems she fell down some stairs while studying for the debate. ( One wag said " she was carrying 20 pounds of Sarah Palin's bullshit.")

Does anybody know where Tanya Harding was last night? How long has she been working for McCain?

I can see it now: as Ifill writhes on the floor, groaning, a shadowy figure appears and in a hoarse whisper says "Let this be a little warning to youse, Ms. Ifill. We're watching youse. If youse play any 'gotcha' games with your little debate questions, youse will have to answer some questions. And we might not be so gentle next time like we wuz tonight...got it?"

Of course, it's only the merest of coincidences that one of McCain's crafty minions essentially threatened Ifill the other night if she didn't play nice with Governor Palin.

But it does make a person wonder...how desperate ARE these guys, anyway?

WHAT MCCAIN SAID ABOUT THE FAILURE OF THE BAILOUT PLAN TO PASS IN CONGRESS:

"Now is not the time for blame."

WHAT MCCAIN MEANT:

" I already blamed Obama. THAT was the time for blame. Not now."

McCain, by the way, showed stellar leadership when he was able to persuade half, that is, 50%, of the Arizona delegation to support the bailout bill. Half. In his home state. The state of which he is the senior member of the delegation.

That's still a lot better than W. did. He called and strongarmed all 19 members of the Texas delegation. Got 4 votes. 4. Out of 19. Former Governor of Texas, current President of the United States, and he can't persuade HIS OWN FREAKING PEOPLE, TEXANS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, to vote for his bill.

Yep, all Pelosi and Obama's fault. Damn those anybody but America first liberals.
