		<description>Sure, he has a duty to kowtow to someone that deliberately &quot;misrepresents&quot; his words, takes them completely out of context.</description>

		<description>Too bad it was an airplane, not McCain&#039;s bus.  Then he could have thrown her under it. :)

A perfect ending would have been for Sarah to buy Mo a plane ticket back to NY out of her own pocket.</description>

		<description>Well, Melissa, I notice the other commenters were apparently so smart they didn&#039;t even need to READ the article, before unloading on what they read in the title.</description>

		<description>John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison both voted FOR the bailout last night.

Today I dropped my support of Sen Cornyn and his re-election to the post of Senator, and I sent the Cornyn campaign and Sen Cornyn himself an email letting them know, it can be read in the thread linked above.
 
In a very short time I was contaced by Vincent Harris, wanting my phone number, their campaign manager wanted to talk to me, and I told him NO, I could not, and would not support ANY candidate that voted to bailout $700B, a figure that is still low, actual figures are reported closer to $820B, and that I was pulling their logo from TexasFred&#039;s, The American Conservative and The Texas Connection, and I did.

Jimmy Kerr of But That&#039;s Just My Opinion posted a message in my comments saying he had done the same thing. Jimmy and I are trying to contact and encourage as many Texas bloggers as possible to contact Vincent and let him know that YOU are doing the same thing as well, lets send Cornyn a HUGE, Texas sized message!

Please, if you believe that this is a very important issue, PLEASE contact Vincent and tell him that you&#039;re dropping the logo too, and ask to be removed from their blog roll, no LINK is that important, request that your blog be taken OFF of their roll...

		<description>Oooooooh! She won a Pulitzer Prize? That changes everything! You&#039;re right. She&#039;s really, really smart and interesting that&#039;s why she was kicked off the plane. McCain hates smart people. That explains everyone who is left!</description>

		<description>That&#039;s Pulitzer Prize-winning Maureen Dowd. Who&#039;s next to get kicked off the bus? Anyone that disagrees with McCain? Is he going to run the country the same way he runs his campaign?</description>
