and p.s. – Obama did not vote against Breyer. Breyer was apppointed to the Supreme Court in 1994 – long before Obama was in the Senate. Even Joe the Plumber knows that, Senator McCan’tRemember.

You know, I woke in the night last night and couldn’t get back to sleep so at 3am UK time I switched on the radio and caught this. I thought I must have dreamt it this morning!

McCain also mis-pronounced Joe the Plumber’s last name!

I angrily reprimanded the John McCain on the TV for the same thing.

Yeah, this got me too. Sarah Palin MAY end up to be a good advocate for special needs kids, but after less than a year, she is far from being an expert. I think McCain may have referred to autism because there are lots more kids with autism than Down’s (I think anyway) and it’s a hot topic that freaks people out.

That was one of my faves.
Along with (scare quotes) “Health” and his statement that transplants are only for the rich.

Hey Art, the guy’s older than the hills. You can’t expect his memory to be all that perfect! LOL!
Actually, the thought of something happening to him and Palin winding up as our president scares the you-know-what out of me!

Yes but Down Syndrome and Autism are in cahoots, you know, in the Axis of Evil, right in there with the A-rabs. We need to smoke ’em out of their holes, tell them Enough Is Enough! This is America they’re messin with, doggonit!
