Unscripted ?!?!

Just as in a News Conference, no politician is so unwary as to hand a mike to somebody at a political event without knowing pretty much what that person is going to say. No politician; liberal, conservative, elitist, hockey-mom, straight-talker, gaffe-prone - nobody is that dumb! So you can take it as a given that when Candidate McCain let that sweet little old lady talk at the "Town Hall Meeting" in Lakeville Minnesota, he knew he was gonna get one or another of the Keywords: "Liberal", "Terrorist", "Elitist", "Muslim", "Liberal", "Traitor", "Elitist", or the word the LOL actually used, "Arab". Having salted his mine, so to speak, McCain switched tracks and became the Senatorial Statesman, gently correcting the LOL and showing his recently missing Straight Talker persona. Then there was the guy who got the word out to the faithful that Candidate Obama, along with those tax-and-spend liberals Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, was going to turn the United States into a Socialist State! (Oh My!)
After twenty years of Ronald Reagan and (ideological) sons practicing Voodoo Economics, compared to eight years of the tax-and-spend-liberal economic policies of Bill Clinton, it takes a lot of chutzspa to call the Republicans The Party Of Fiscal Responsibility. I honestly don't know why that claim doesn't bring peals of laughter. Or perhaps a spate of tears and a gnashing of teeth. But then, as I've mentioned before, with the right coaching people can even be taught to say Fair And Balanced with a straight face on the Fox News Channel.
