Today on Doing Time - Thursday September 4th, 2008

By Alex G.

FROM THE RNC

Did Sarah Palin rock your world? She sure had a nice speech written for her. We’ll play plenty of excerpts and fact check all the innuendo, vague allusions and misleading statements.

 

We’ll also run through the former Presidential aspirants who blathered at the podium last night. You won’t believe the gall of Rudy Giuliani … or maybe you will.

 

IT’S STILL THE ECONOMY STUPID

Yesterday we had on Tim Kane, Economic Advisor to John McCain. So today, Kuby’s going to speak with Jason Furman, Director of Economic Policy for Barack Obama. We’ll leave you to make the comparison and see which candidate scores better for your pocketbook.

 

SEX SELLS

Bristol Palin’s pregnancy doesn’t count as a sex scandal – though to Republicans Jamie Lynn Spears’ did – but Win McCormack will tell us why there do seem to be so many Republican Sex Scandals. His book is You Don't Know Me: A Citizen's Guide to Republican Family Values.

 

Plus a recap of all the OTHER news including what Cheney is doing to antagonize Russia, and where baggy pants are illegal.

It could get more serious than that what it seems

Okay, she has problems telling the truth about the pregnancies in her family, but that's the tip of the iceberg. This business of goin' to the town librarian and telling her tp pitch the books that she doesn't like, or, wanting to fire her brother-in-law and eventually firing the the Director of State Security because he didn't fire him.

She doesn't believe in Law and Order.

I realize that some people insist on having their way, but as long as they aren't in positions of authority, its not a problem. However, a Vice President of the United States who tells her staff, or a cabinet minister to do something that would break a law is another matter. Rove did it, Bush did it, and it seems its a trait common to a strain of Republicans that has developed these days. I have no idea where it all began, but even Harding, Coolidge, Taft and Stassen, even Hoover regarded the constitution as basic document that had to followed as it was. There was no messing with the Law.

They had integrrity, but today's Republicans don't, and Ms Palin, if she is true for form is capable not only of lieing, but may just do an imitation of Madame Nu, or Ismelda Marcos, or Madame Ceausescu, or any other of the female versions of leaders who talk about how much they love their country, and maybe they do, but they also like to have their way, in spite of the way things are supposed to be work.

That leads to chaos, and . . .
