LIVESTRONG

John McCain travels tomorrow to Columbus, OH, for a town hall about cancer with the mighty Lance Armstrong, who hosts his LIVESTRONG Summit in the Midwestern city. The event, replacement for a scheduled trip to NOLA, will be held at Ohio State University's Mershon Auditorium.

OH, as you know, is home to one potential GOP veep: Rob Portman.

McCain's camp canceled the journey to NOLA due to weather. But note that there was likely another reason for the late-breaking change: an oil spill) along the coast that caused a 12-mile slick. Not exactly the best photo-op situation.

NOTE: Lauren Pfeifle of Edelman Public Relations, which does work for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, writes to say that McCain's participation in the LIVESTRONG event is not a replacement for the senator's cancelled event in New Orleans. She said in an email that the LAF event has been scheduled since April.

DRILL DRILL DRILL. Oops!

But we've made SO much progress in oil-drilling technology................................

Give me a break. We need real energy solutions, not the GOP's tired, pathetic: "DRILL DRILL DRILL SHILL SHILL SHILL."

Ethan dialed up his local Ethiopian relief agency the other day, just to let their clientèle know that they couldn't grow their way out of starving. Ethan: "They need real food solutions over there, not the tired, pathetic cries of "grow more!"

Check out if McCain is floating in that oil spill in NOLA. He loves big oil and loves to drill.

Probably he was digging a hole to see if he can find some cheap oil and then got submerged in that spill.

Wow GL, that was SOOOOOO FUNNY! You really have a natural knack for crisis humor. Didja hear the one about all the black people that died needlessly in Katrina? You'd love that one.

Maybe you should get together with the McSame campaign. Between your making fun of people starving and McCain's attacks on Obama's Holocaust statement you're sure on track to lock up the racist, bigot, obnoxious jackass vote (the Cheney branch of the GOP).

Good luck with all that.

Ethan: Didja hear the one about all the black people that died needlessly in Katrina? You'd love that one.

Not only heard about it Ethan... but lived it! Just goes to show you what people get for electing ignorant left wingers to local positions of authority - whose main qualification for office are the ability to repeat in a monotone - "Booooshes Fault". LOL Folks are wising up though... check out the new gov. :)

Obama made a holocaust statement??? What did he say??? That he and Amadinejad can do it better? LOL

As far as real honest to goodness racists and bigots I've met in 41 years of life... 99% have been registered democrats, and over 50% of those have been black. Not really your typical GOP constituency. :)

Great holocaust joke. I'll remember that one. And all those "honest to goodness" black racists, yeah that must be so hard for you. But at least there's NO white racists in the south, right? At least none that you've met (according to your fair and unbiased scientific survey).

Talk about typical, you ARE the "typical GOP" constituent: ill-informed (or uneducated or both), lying, pathetic, racist, bigot.

Oh wait, I almost forgot: LOL :)

Conservatives really seem to love the notion of responsibility and assigning it. That is, until it is either themselves or someone they like staring down the barrel of the fess' up gun.
