Ted’s Shorts
Sarah Palin is the finest woman in American politics. Probably ever. But it took John McCain a week to get around to “defending” her from those republican elites who see her as a threat to their future in the party. And he did it with a patronizing, “I’m so proud of her and her family.” Not a word of denunciation for her detractors. Your Republican wimps and cowards at work.
And speaking of cowards, the Republican Party is planning a lawsuit to overturn McCain-Feingold. Will it work? It’s anybody’s guess, but where were they when it was being debated and later signed by the president who ruined their party? Not a word about George Bush - again.
Last night, I heard some right-leaning talking face (sorry, they blend together) telling us what Obama needs to do when he gets into office to stem the financial crisis. It wasn’t a partisan thing, he was only referring to what he felt needs to be done regardless of who had been elected. The problem: don’t we have a president right now? Let me try to recall his name…. President Nero?
Do you love irony like I do? Because it turns out that McCain’s campaign funds are going to be audited, but not Obama’s. It’s part of the requirement when you elect to take public financing, and it’s going to cost McCain millions in audit fees. Meanwhile, they’re going to ignore Obama because, as the story goes; he raised so much that it doesn’t matter what an audit turns up.
Finally, T. Boone Pickens is shelving his windy plans, (though not his rhetoric) for now because the cost of oil is too low, he says. Thank Sky Guy for lower prices, but they mask the truth - that wind is not currently, nor will it be for a long time, a viable form of electricity on a large scale, and that doesn’t even take into account the thousands of miles of eyesores it will create and to which even Ted Kennedy will attest.
Now I gotta go find some new shorts…
I hope the shorts you find are Briefs, not Boxer’s
LOL on the pic!
Trog… some say, “not brief enough!”
I thought so. It was almost exactly what I had in mind. I’m going to ask T.R. to create something a bit more iconic for you, though. Glad you liked it.

Ted West blogs on politics and offers up arguably some of the best in political satire and comic relief on the net. His insight as well as his wit regarding all things political are well known in the blogosphere. He is a card carrying member of the MTW Team and has been an infrequent contributor to this blog.
Oh…and he’s not Mexican. If you prefer conversing with Mexicans (we call them Hispanics around here) you can always drop a note to our field correspondent, Santiago Rojas.
