Livin' the Rock Star Dream...



Watching the coverage of George W. McCain's Red Stick sojourn hammers home something that struck me on the way back to work from lunch...I passed by the building formerly known as the Centroplex now re-dubbed the River Center--where the Senator held his "town meeting"(and where several thousand took shelter in the aftermath of the NOLA flood)--and noticed immediately that I HADN'T made a mistake in choosing that route because everyone had cleared out. By 1:20-1:30ish, it traffic was as normal as any other day...

I doubt that would be the case should Barack Obama stop by.

GMac also pulled one from Gee Dubya's playbook, flat-out lying about his support for investigations into levee (not levy) failures, but since that's a flat-out lie as opposed to mistaking the name of a particular concentration camp, it's ok...or maybe it's more like IOKIYAR...whatever.

But I will note that if GMac continues to underwhelm to such an extent that even a Manship-owned newspaper can barely be bothered with more than rote, meet-the-specs and that's it reportage...well, then Senator McCain will remain Senator McCain...
