I'm finally fed up. I can't even believe that this is what the media is making a big deal out of. This feels below even them, who seem to make a big deal out of the smallest, most meaningless things.

And guess what this is distracting everyone from? The fact that McCain hasn't mentioned a policy, not one single policy, that he has.

The fact that Bush and McCain are giving the same speeches.

The fact that Sarah Palin is in a bunker somewhere preparing for an interview with Charles Gibson, and during this time, no one's allowed to talk to her. For fuck's sake, this woman could be president.

How about Palin's church ties?

How about Troopergate?

How about the fact that a "fiscal Conservative" led her state to its highest budget ever?

You can't cut taxes and spend. It doesn't work. You can't return a tax surplus to the people, then borrow to build a hockey rink.

Forget about the censorship.

The more the media keeps picking at these little things, like whether Obama called Palin a pig or not, the less we hear about things that are important. You know, things like:

- our financial services markets, which are about to fall apart
- our economy, ready to fall with it
- unemployment being way up
- the fact that 45 million people in this country have no healthcare
- the energy crisis

Put this in the face of McCain/Palin campaign and make them answer tough questions. Make them confront how they're different from the crap that we've been fed for the last 8 years. Make them show us exactly how much of a "maverick" McCain's been since 2004.
