Actually the McCain camp said "It's not worth it for you to make the trip out." In otherwords. "Please don't come!" They weren't expecting him to speak at all until he insisted. They did everything they could to keep him out. However you can only do so much, as the President is head of the party |
For perfectly good reason, and I am pretty impressed how Republicans were able to distance themselves so well from a President with one of the worst approval ratings in history. I think the bad economic news will hurt them more than the Democrats though, as blame usually falls on the President's party's shoulders.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
