PT: First as tradegy, second as farce
Sorry for starting a new political OT thread, but this one has had me
rolling on the floor all morning and I had to let it out. The press is remarking today about the four-hour transition of John McCain from an anti-regulation hawk to his new position calling for tight federal regulation of the finance industry and an end to its "greed." ("We're going to put an end to the abuses on Wall Street! Enough is enough! We're going to put an end to the greed!") That was the setup. Then came this. The McCain campaign has been looking for a celebrity Hillary supporter to endorse McCain, and they got one, in spades: "The supporter was none other than Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, wife of British banking scion Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. When not engaged in politics, de Rothschild -- whom the Wall Street Journal dubbed a "New York socialite" and Portfolio has described as "the flashiest hostess in London" -- has the run of the sprawling Ascott House estate, north of London. In the United States, she summers on Martha's Vineyard. And she has not been shy with her feelings about Obama prior to today, telling CNN weeks ago, "Frankly, I don't like him. I feel like he is an elitist." Maybe it's my twisted sense of humor, but that one did me in. I won't need another joke for a couple of days. -- Ed Huntress |
