filkertom"Analysis: Crisis Put Spotlight On Obama, McCain"
An' yer PAID fer this "analysis", are ye?
How long did it take ye t'come up with that brilliant insight, ye swab? Was it when McCain put his pegleg in his mouth up ta th' kneecap with that "The fundamentals of our economy are strong" jape? When Obama, an' Biden, an' ever-damn-body else from here ta Tortuga mocked 'im fer it? Or was it when all th' networks, all th' papers, all th' blogs, started goin' through everything both campaigns were sayin', as fast as they were sayin' it, which was pretty damn fast? It's only been goin' on a week, y'know. Methinks there were some special segments about it on Deal Or No Deal and Spongebob. (McCain was relieved the little doof was wearin' pants. No, not Howie Mandel, ye great loon, th' square yellow one.)
The biggest financial crisis th' nation has faced in generations, in the middle of a presidential campaign. Everybody's talkin' about it, an' especially th' candidates. And ye note, with th' Very Serious header of Analysis, that they do seem to be talkin' about it, why, yes, they do. Fancy that.
Turn in yer notepad, ye useless lubber.
