Eskow!

Nails it so effectively, he should be writing for the Obama campaign. Money quote:

As a Senator, John McCain has voted nearly all of the time with the president who has created the largest government and run up the biggest deficits in American history. That's not change you can believe in, my friends. He's 90% Bush, 9% Rove, and 1%That's-For-Me-to-Know-and-You-to-Find-Out.
On the subject of Sarah Palin, he writes:
The Democrats nominated a woman for VP a quarter-century ago! If they're only that far behind real change, I guess that's progress -- for the Republicans, anyway. During the civil rights struggle they were about a century behind. But stop pretending they've done something new -- or that they've done it for anything but cynical, poll-tested reasons.
Note: the Republican Party did end slavery in 1863, but that was when they were headed by Abraham Lincoln. The Democrats were the racists then, and many southern Democrats were firmly against civil rights when they bolted the party for the Republicans in 1964 after LBJ passed the Civil Rights Act. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.
