"Obama appeared outraged at the McCain campaign's outrage."
This is one of the best lines out of a news story I've seen in a while. It's from this story off of Yahoo! News, one of my regular stomping grounds. What, I'm expected to read news from Fox? Please.
So, the whole story's pretty much a tongue-in-cheek look at the faux outrage the various presidential campaigns pass out on a daily basis. Obama's sexist because he made a "lipstick on a pig" statement. McCain doesn't know about the common man, because he can't even remember how many houses he has. That makes Obama weep for our country's future - and get a little outraged.
This story has pointed out the lipstick-wearing elephant that's been in this room for a while - politicians are full of it, they're not like you and me and the ones prancing about the national stage are about as fake as Eliot Spitzer's wedding vows. Surprise! This is all a game and only one team can win. And it's all about winning; nothing else matters.
I would say that you could change all this by getting out to vote, but I'm not going to lie to ya. You came here for the Faux Spin Zone.
