Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.” |

Hmm
that mockumentary seems to forget the fact that McCain was exonerated by the Democrat prosecutor
AND it fails to mention that another Keating 5 member IS doing surrogate work for him…Spaceman John Glenn
oh and Pat…using the huff-post to refute someone’s argument…
did ya learn that one in J-school?

According to Wikipedia: The five senators, Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), John McCain (R-AZ), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI), were accused of improperly intervening in 1987 on behalf of Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of a regulatory investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. I count 4 dems and 1 rep. McCain has always been the dems favorite Republican so I count him as half a rep in my book. That’s 90% dems. Please Pat, tell the whole story, and not as you want to see it…

And I have to ditto the Huff po as a scource. What a group of space cadets that hang out there. Come on, you can do better than that.

This is funny: Bouncy and Steelhawk (or B&S, as I like to call them) are dismissive of the Huffington Post, but they offer no refutation of the HuffPo piece to which I linked. Nothing. Zip. Nada. In a real debate, they’d be laughed off the podium. What makes it even more amusing is that the HuffPo piece at issue categorically refutes claims made on….(wait for it)….FOX NEWS, the most biased, error-prone news outfit in existence. You remember Fox News, don’t you? That’s where we first heard about the terrorist fist bump. What a journalistic scoop that was! Keep up the good work B&S. You’re our top comedy act here at Applesauce.

Those 4 Democrats are not running for president of the United States. John “Straight Talk?” McCain is. And I wouldn’t say he was exonerated. More like politics as usual.

Most Biased???… Does that include MSNBC? and the Rockford Register Star?
9. Craig Knauss | October 6th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
steelhawk,
Unless there’s been a drastic change since I left Illinois, the Register Star is a Republican leaning paper. That’s why they endorsed George Bush, Ronald Reagan, Nixon, etc. Your’re right. They are biased…to the right.

McCain was exonerated. And unlike Obama the narcissist, he can admit when he has made a mistake.
