Shame on you for saying that the Bush bailout speech was just like his Iraq speech.

Anyone can see that he was wearing a blue tie for the Iraq speech and a red tie for the bailout speech.

I WANT 700-BILLION OR THE ECONOMY GETS IT!

[Whinger]

Well, if the speech worked in the past, don't fix it.

[Yermammy]

And just like FISA, they are all unconstitutional.

IMPEACH G.W. BUSH
IMPEACH R. CHENEY
TELL BARACK WE NEED THESE TWO IMPEACHED.
BECOME THE LEADER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, BARACK OBAMA, AND
IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT NOW.

Asking why the comedy guys tell the truth and the news folks don't: sell-out. There is no "news." It is all manufactured, packaged and delivered in bite-size bits for our tiny minds to absorb like so much protein-free snack food. When the news divisions becameprofit centers,they gave up being objective journalists. It's all entertainment, all the time. And its very big money. My country, tois of thee, I weep. S.

Don't insult Alfred!

[NoSillyName]

EXACTLY!!! Same CLUELESS expression. ugh. yuck. go away gwb. And take Cheney with you.

[fanoftruthiness]

Yes, but look at his eyes. "I'm gonna kick some ass!" vs "I'm getting my ass kicked!"

This is spot on. I too felt like this was the Iraq war scam all over again and Jon nails it.
To bad I can't get my congressman to see it, he is running scared and willing to let Pelosi and Reid give bush everything he wants..I am so mad with the Dem (lack of) leadership!

[Chapmanp2]

Not 1 red cent for proven liars & thieves. They admittedly LOST billions of dollars in Iraq. Now we're supposed to give em' more???

[PatBurns]

This is the October surprise a week early?

[RCLGuard]

I don't think I could handle an Oct surprise from McCain. We've been through enough already.

[jsarets]

Some financial analysts (shudder) are suggesting that the market could really tank on Oct 1 because investors will withdraw from their asset positions in order to pay their monthly liabilities in the absence of accessible credit.

[OB08]

No, the October surprise will be Pittbull Lipstick stepping down. Watch...Oh, they are not going to do it until they are way down in the polls.

[mgray34]

The true perspective comes from those who do comedy. Comedians are brutally honest. The MSM could take a page from commentary like this.

[walk0nwalls]

What I fail to understand is why the news junkets don't do this.

[TroubleNYC]

They're not that bright.

[Pdubya]

oh, they're bright alright.

[wmfor]

Because they would be called "liberal" and "biased". And that's scary! Now that they are all rude sexist pigs for the affrontery to think that a FEMALE VP candidate should be able to answer some simple factual questions about foreign policy and the economy just like her male counterpart.

[IhaveaDREAMwhitegirl]

The executives and owners of the news stations and papers ...hmmm, wonder which stocks they own and which party they vote for?!

They mostly "feed the public " mcnuggets of "information."

Well I don't eat that kinda crapola, thanks but NO THANKS!

[Samshade77]

That was sadly funny.
