Were you laughing at the Palin-Couric interview?
It was hard not to.
Don’t let our shadowy overlords catch you not laughing, or you may soon be sent away from your computer — just for a few days, they’ll say.
Given former CEO Walden O’Dell’s outspoken advocacy of George W Bush during this bid for re-election, this story sounds much more believable than much of the news coming out this election.
I laughed because it was Diebold’s fault. My uncle used to work for them so I’ve heard stories.
I’ve been telling people for the last 4 years that I’m not going to enjoy the 2008 sham election.
things that are too close to the truth
are not s funny as they could be
That gave me an uncomfortable tight feeling in my chest.
My personal suspicion is that this is very much why McCain and his campaign have no problem doing stuff like “suspending” or picking Palin or just not really trying very hard.
They’re mostly focused on creating some kind of narrative to explain why McCain won (disgruntled Clinton supporters being the most obvious story line at the moment).
