Some additional reading September 3rd from 19:21 to 19:26:
- Media Matters – Gimme that old-time religion … – "reading between the lines, didn't Lieberman address the Republican convention — shortly after the sitting Republican president — and call the Republican Party a bunch of corrupt, cheating, tax-wasting do-nothings? That seems awful juicy to me. Reporters should ask other Republicans if they agree with Lieberman, and if not, if they still want him by McCain's side this fall. They should also ask Lieberman to expand those critiques, and why, if he believes them, he is still supporting the Republican presidential ticket in November. (Also, by "taken on," he means what exactly?)"
- Salon Newsreal | A joke too bad to print? – "Though no tape of McCain's quip has yet emerged, this is what he reportedly said:
"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Because her father is Janet Reno."
The joke may be crude, but it pales in comparison with the published details surrounding the presidential sex scandal. McCain's two-liner conveys some interesting insights into what he considers humorous (lesbianism, a young woman's physical appearance), particularly since it was delivered to a Republican crowd. Remember, this is the party that champions pro-family values."Keep it classy, John McCain. Of course that was the old, maverick McCain, and he would never say such a thing now without approval of Karl Rove and Rush Limbaugh.
