It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
No… not Christmas or even Halloween. It’s Election time!!! As a self-confessed news junkie, I thrive on the polls, the pundits, the political ads… especially the negative ones. I’m always amazed at the depths to which some candidates will sink in an attempt to win an election.
Of course, this is just a mid-term election. The big guns will come out in 2008, but for now, I find myself more amused every day. Trust me if you aren’t watching the news this next week, you are going to miss out on some extremely funny stuff.
There’s a candidate who tried to call his office from a hotel. He misdialed by one digit and got a sex hot line at $1.25 per minute. He hung up immediately and called the correct number, but both showed up on his hotel bill. His opponent made an entire ad about how he charged the tax payers to call a sex line. I'm sure many will be fooled by this.... NOT!
Another candidate has been consistently voting against the war in Iraq, but he has voted to keep some grants going that happen to study some pretty racy stuff. Again, an entire add about how he is financing studies on the sex habits of Vietnamese prostitutes, the masturbation habits of older men, and something about teenage girls watching porn. He didn’t initiate these studies, just voted to continue the grants that happen to fund these studies.
Then there’s the news. Bush took a day to stump for two candidates that have some serious issues going on! The first cheated on his wife and was charged with assault for allegedly hitting his mistress. Yeah, he sounds reliable. Then he went to Virginia to assist George “Macaca” Allen, who has been accused of using racial slurs and denying his Jewish heritage. Would helping either of these guys be a good political move? Who knows? I just hope that they keep it up. It keeps me entertained.
