Boone Pickins or any of the many other nutcases with money or TV access have to say. The media seems to be on a quest for only the most sensational stories whether to promote them or knock them down. Last week we had a major policy gaffe by Phil Gramm and the media was inflamed by Jesse Jackson's rude off camera comments on Fox. Today the media is arguing about an Obama cartoon in the New Yorker when McCain refers to Chechoslovakia as a country that still exists, Mark Sanford does a verbal faceplant and takes himself out of the Republican VP stakes and Obama has an important op-ed in the NYT. The only recent story that seems to have caused McCain some trouble is Cindy McCains great cookie scandal. Jesse says he would prefer to be surfing rather than running for the Senate and that is probably best for Minnasota and the USA. Hopefully he can teach T. Boone Pickins some moves.
