"Obama needs to do this, Obama needs to do that"

This is coming from the same bunch of so-called pundits who did not even consider Obama to be a viable democratic nominee 12 months ago. This election will show that talking heads are seriously behind the curve.

Will McCain be on the same stage as him? Will Bush speak? Will this be in prime time? Will he say where he has been hiding? Will he say why he started the war in Iraq? Will he say what his energy policy is? Will he explain and show us what he thinks torture is?

Maybe he'll just come out and shotgun a few lucky conventioneers in the face - I'm sure they'd like it. This administration can do ANYTHING without upsetting the devout.

Or, maybe he'll announce a new Chicken Dick's Chicken Stick stand - nothing but the finest feet, feathers and beaks? Eat hearty, tools.

Said Cheney's spokeswoman, Megan Mitchell: "The Vice President looks forward to participating in the Republican National Convention and continuing to work for the election of Sen. McCain and other Republican candidates in the coming months."

Mitchell went on to say, "It's the only way we'll keep our sorry asses out of jail!"

Oyyyy....as a McCain supporter, this just has me shaking my head. If Cheney wants to help, fine, maybe he can be an usher or something. But having him speak at the convention is just going to provide fodder for future DNC ads. But, I understand that it is a fine line to walk.

'...you're paying for their gas, food and lodging...'

From Salon.com:

'...Embedded reporters or Republican activists?

Members of Vets for Freedom have campaigned for John McCain and made anti-Obama ads, but while they're in Iraq, you're paying for their gas, food and lodging.

By Alex Koppelman

On its face, it seems like an idea any enterprising editor could have come up with: Gather a group of veterans of the Iraq war who also have journalism experience, including some highly decorated soldiers. Then send them back to the areas of Iraq in which they served, this time as reporters embedded with the troops still fighting there, and get their assessment of the security situation and whether the surge is working.

Someone has organized just such an expedition, and this Monday eight veterans left for Iraq. But the "Back to Iraq" trip wasn't put together by the Washington Post or the New York Times; it's the brainchild of Vets for Freedom (VFF), a pro-war group. VFF is nominally nonpartisan, but it has a remarkable number of ties -- some previously unreported -- to Republicans generally and John McCain's campaign specifically. And it has run attack ads against Barack Obama.

It's unremarkable to send reporters with thin journalistic credentials to Iraq, or to promise that journalists with a known political bias will report "objectively." Conservative and liberal publications send their preferred reporters to Iraq all the time, and their representatives come home, unsurprisingly, with differing conclusions. But what about sending political activists and GOP operatives to Iraq in the guise of journalists, with the cooperation of the U.S. military and on the taxpayers' dime, so that the activists can come home and proselytize for the Republican presidential candidate's position on the war?...

WOW !!
The DoD is being non-partisan, again
The Bush Administration has corrupted every branch of the government

They should be ashame of themselves, with all the Lies surfacing to inclued Bush, Cheney, Rove, and other repulicans in this administration you would think they would want to stay true to the facts...But Nooooo, let's give the people 4 more years of the same...Lie to go to a war, and lie to get elected,forgery, special intrest/treatment for favors or gifts, just lie no matter what...I am really ashame of McCain, he is throwning his and our military veterans dignity under a Tank! He was respected for his service of this country now, that service means nothing and neither do we (the country), because he think we are ingnorant to the facts...But what is more shameful, is that he is targeting our elders, who only have the prime time news to rely on...MSNBC, you have to do something, some way our elders deserve better and the TRUTH! they are the ture Maveriks of Truth that gave our country it's foundation.

He hates democracy and he hates open government. He prefers the shadows and hiding behind a curtain. He ought to be impeached and hauled off to jail. Stand up there with McCain, Deferment Dick. You represent all that is wrong with government and this corrupt Administration. Showing up at the convention to make one of your nasty speeches will only further endure you to your narrow, anti-democratic, anti-American base. The majority of the country despises everything about you.
