In the last two days, we learned that the white house can't keep track of its e-mails and John McCain can't keep track of his houses.

"In the last two days, we learned that the white house can't keep track of its e-mails ..."

A sophistic argument like "They didn't, therefore they can't" is a sign of underperforming learning circuits. If your intent was to denounce the clerical crew, why bother? They want to be your friends.

"...and John McCain can't keep track of his houses."

It's cool that he isn't impressed enough with Cindy's money to keep track of that sort of trivia (a failing which "teaches" a few that he can't..{snicker}). As a terminally independent voter (an "early decider," if I have the psephologists' lingo right), I'm thinking the Obama thralls are mighy desperate when they have to try to pump up something as measly as this into a genuine BFD. It's like they've learned just this week--after resting up for that final effort for the first five days, what normal people learned about Obama months ago, namely that his orations are his only salient feature. Nothing to sell? Disparage the competition.

Wondering why anyone would bother parroting those two things, albeit erroneously, as though we haven't been hearing it all day and night for a few days, it occurred to me that the post was supposed to be clever or cute, maybe even witty, and that it might have been some sort of boasting about a couple of profound learning events. Since the "learning" failed and since it was lamer than a twenty-legged centipede, I'm still wondering.

E-mails don't get 'Lost'. Houses? That depends if an earthquake or tornado hit yours.

On the other hand. If you have several......Check with my staff. But make sure I'm your next President.

The WH not being able to find the missing EMails reminds me of GWB looking for WMDs under his desk. "Ummmm, not under there... Nope, guess I could look in Dick's safe...er, or maybe not."

I have my email form 2003.
How hard can it be to store them?
It's called back-up.

I could understand that Cindy McCain doesn't know how to back up John's disc, but the White House?

Perhaps they could check with the NSA, the lost e-mails are probably there with all the others archived by the NSA under Bush's illegal spying and data mining programs which seem to have begun early in 2001.
That is, unless all their computers have also been replaced and the hard drives destroyed.

And we learned that the Democrats are still doing absolutely nothing about it.
You have war criminals spitting in your faces Democrats, and in the faces of everyone in the country. You're pathetic.

Yes this is true. Who will be more likely to restore justice? Or is that even in the cards?

You say arugula, I'll say cous-cous. (See last night's Countdown if you don't get that one.)
You say Rezco, I'll say Keating.
You say Hawai'ian vacations, I'll say private jet.
You say he spends too much time in the gym, I'll say that $500 loafers must make walking a breeze.
You say Hyde Park, I'll say same thing times seven. Or is it eight?
You say that he broke his public funding pledge, I'll say he broke his marriage vows. More than once.
And if you say effete professorial egg head, I'll say, at least he doesn't make his wife squat down on magazine covers because he's embarrassed about his height. (See Architectural Digest, July 2005).

Now, is silly season over? Can we get back to issues?

"The white house that want's to keep track of all your e-mails can't even keep track of their own." Give 'em hell, Rahm.

we learned that Barack Obama was right on Iraq all along
we learned that Barack Obama was right on Afghanistan all along
We learned that drill here, drill now may be effective short term, but even the oil industry data doesn't support it

we should ask McCain how much the staff at each one of his homes pays for a loaf of bread.

Rahm - I was thrilled to see you blogged this week, but really? One sentence? Is that all you have to say?

We also learned that the McCains paid thousands of dollars for maids, cooks, valets, gardeners, and whatever. This needs to be incorporated into an ad by the Obama campaign.. Certainly there is no law against having money enough to pay for these frills, but it sure puts John McCain way outside and above the middle class people in this country! How in the world can he understand what the middlleclass citizens are going through? Also, it needs to be emphasized that he has parlayed his
POW status into each rung of the ladder he has climbed in his ambition to be president. I have no doubt he has embellished his POW years so as to make us think this has made him earn his right to be president, and give him the aura of sainthood....that he would not cheat or lie or sin in any way, because he is a POW. Most of us are tired of hearing about it.
