Fox's "Anti-Aging Fix" for McCain
Much has been made about John McCain's age, but Faux News appears to have a simple cure for that: use old video footage.
MSNBC's Dan Abrams let us know it goes beyond airbrushing on Thursday:
If you have any question whether Fox News is in the tank for McCain, this should wipe any doubt from your mind. Fox is actually trying to make John McCain look younger. This is their coverage of McCain on the campaign trail today. Take a good look at the senator in the video they use.While Fox's narration says it was footage of McCain from that day, even I could see, as it flashed quickly by, the McCain 2000 blurb on a placard.
Fox is actually using 8-year-old video to discuss today's activities. Video from the 2000 campaign. They report, you decide.Remember the flak over those pictures of Hillary Clinton during the campaign, the ones that made her look really old? Check out McCain's age spots above.
Watch the video, from MSNBC's Verdict, broadcast July 24, 2008.

I've Decided To Go Into Politics
(Here's My Platform)
After a careful review of the options for the up-coming election:
(a) A man who can't account for his money and wants 'change you can believe in' -- (but never says what the change is).
(b) A Republican that doesn't seem to have Republican values.
I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE. HERE IS MY PLATFORM:
(1) Press 1 for English is immediately banned. English is the official language. Speak it or wait at the border until you can.
(2) We will immediately go into a two-year isolationist posture to straighten out the country's attitude. NO imports no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart policy: 'If we ain't got it you don't need it.'
(3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it.
(4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our many observation towers on the southern border. (Six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.
(5) Social Security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin' in you ain't getting' nuttin' out. Neither the president nor any other politician will not be able to touch it.
(6) Welfare - Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40 hour school week and the successful completion of urinalysis and a passing grade.
(7) Professional Athletes --Steroids - The FIRST time you check positive you will be banned for life.
(8) Crime - We will adopt the Turkish method: The first time you steal you lose your right hand. There will be no more life sentences -- if you are convicted of a Capitol Offense you will be put to death by the same method you chose for your victim gun, knife, strangulation, etc.
(9) One export will be allowed - Wheat -- The world needs to eat. A bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.
(10) All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately cease and the saved money will pay off the national debt and ultimately lower taxes.
When disasters occur around the world we'll ask the American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund and each citizen can make the decision whether it's a worthy cause.
(11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress -- right after a prayer to God.
(12) The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.
Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes but a vote for me will get you better than what you have and better than what you're gonna get.
Thanks for listening -- and remember to write in my name on the ballot in November!
Fcking Xwnophobic Nazi.
There's a reason your personal opinions are relegated to blog comments. :)
