Fiorini: "That's why John McCain took on Jack Abramoff and eliminated
corruption from his party..." Said that just now to Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC. Anyone else having a good laugh too?

And he leaps tall buildings at a single bound, too.

2. I thought he had some iffy connections to Abramoff, through his
Senate Indian Affairs committee position. I thought there was a whiff of impropriety there.

5. I think we need to get some information going and encourage
the campaign to address this since their side introduced this lie.

6. Here it is: McCain refused to allow members of Congress connected
Edited on Wed Aug-06-08 12:38 PM by wienerdoggie
to the Abramoff/Indian casino scandal to be investigated (he was chairman of the Indian Affaris committee), and he also did not bring some of the biggest players (Ralph Reed, Grover Norquist) in to be questioned before the committee, either. In other words, a total sham of an investigation that was meant to protect Congress and some of the biggest GOP money people.

9. Yup--doesn't sound like he has anything to be proud of, doesn't it?
In fact, someone should investigate his investigation. Sounds like the fox was guarding the henhouse--and now he's trying to profit politically as a "reformer" from this.

4. He
I couldn't last through Fiorini. I turned it off as soon as she started shimmying and said "Well, it's SOOOOO unbelievable, I don't even know how to respond" (to Obama clip talking about McCain).

8. Good VP for John Sidney McSame III with 7 homes, $520 shoes and unlimited credit.
Because she's just such an honest, humble regular person herself.
