Political Poop '08

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Treasury Sec. Henry Paulson and Harry Reid, Senate majority leader

On Sunday lawmakers readied a $700 billion bailout bill. It had the support of both presidential candidates. But and however, the House voted on it and it failed. Moments after the vote was handed down U.S. stocks began to plummet with the larges deficit at -777 points. Source
Banks are crumbling left and right, stocks are down. I’mm put my money in an old teddy bear and call it a damn day.

More Poop…
Barack Obama’s camp reportedly searched for a rape victim to appear in a political ad. Kristin Steward is the director of public policy at the Family Violence Prevention Fund and she was approached by a campaign staffer to be a go between for the campaign and rape victims.
“Obviously, this is a big ask and I haven’t seen a script but presumably it will be a brief ‘this is what happened to me, we need someone who will fight for women like me, these are the guys to do it,’” Steward said. “Again, that’s just my assumption, given how these things usually go.”
The commercial was never shot. Source
I’m really curious as to the approach used when asking victims to appear in the ad? Oh well, I’m sure they can find someone in a wheelchair to appear in the ad.

IF YOU PLAN ON VOTING FOR OBAMA DON’T WEAR ANY OBAMA APPAREL TO THE VOTING POLLS. THIS INCLUDES HATS, T-SHIRTS, PINS, ETC. THIS IS CONSIDERED CAMPAIGNING AND CAMPAIGNING IS NOT ALLOWED AT THE POLLS. ONCE FOLKS HAVE TO GO HOME TO CHANGE THEY’RE LESS LIKELY TO COME BACK OUT TO VOTE.
SO YES, YOU’RE CATSUIT WITH OBAMA AIRBRUSH ACROSS YOUR CHEEKS IS REALLY CUTE BUT PUT IT ON AFTER YOU VOTE. UM KAY?
