HE SAID, SHE SAID
Hillary plays the nuclear card:
Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., in an interview Monday with ABC’s Washington, DC affiliate WJLA, accused Democratic presidential rival Barack Obama of suspicious activity after being asked why she hasn’t disclosed her income tax returns.
“Senator Obama has some questions to answer about his dealings with one of his largest contributors Exelon, a big nuclear power company; apparently he cut some deals behind closed doors to protect them from full disclosure of the nuclear industry,” she said.
You know, sometimes it’s as if that dream ticket is just never going to happen. Meanwhile, Clinton’s SUV addicted, non-jet pooling opponent is banging on about the warmening:
“We are going to cap the greenhouse gases that cause global warming,” he told his audience in Baltimore. “We are going to take some of the money that’s generated from fining polluters, and we are going to spend billions of dollars on solar, wind and biodiesel. We will hire young people who don’t have a trade and give them a trade making homes more energy efficient, insulating homes, changing light bulbs, reducing our dependence on dirty power plants.”
So that’s the change Obama believes in; changing light bulbs. Happier news: in California, they’ve revived the spirit of Florida 2000:
An estimated 49,500 votes were cast incorrectly in Los Angeles County by nonpartisan voters in the presidential primaries and cannot be counted because the voters’ intentions are unclear, acting Registrar Dean Logan said Monday.
The mismarked ballots were the result of a confusing ballot design and poor education of poll workers and the public, Logan said. That left many decline-to-state voters unaware of the need to fill in a bubble indicating whether they were voting in the Democratic Party or American Independent Party primary.
This sounds like a case for Greg Palast.
UPDATE. “Never mind what it pays,” writes rocketeer67. “Changing lightbulbs is a trade?”
