On with the show
I'm bummed that John Edwards has dropped out of the presidential race. Unfortunately, given the wall of silence the "liberal media" built around him, he never had a chance. The media is never going to allow a candidate who challenges the corporatist status quo to have his say. That's why we were barraged with attack stories about $400 haircuts but never heard word one about Edwards' policies.
On the plus side, it looks like 9/11 Boy will be the next candidate to take the walk of shame. This headline says it all: "Elderly candidate wins elderly vote in Florida, Rudy set to withdraw to spend more time with 9/11." Not that it makes a whole lot of difference. The rethug slate is just a bunch of pasty-white old millionaire males screaming at each other, "You're a liberal poopy-head," "No, you are," with the obligatory mouth-foaming about taxes, cutting and running, and what not. How sad for rethugs that their political discourse has long ago devolved to the level of toddler tantrums.
Oh well, on with the show. But I have to say, this never-ending ordeal of a three-ring circus is no way to elect a president.
