Nothing but McCain getting a taste of his own medicine, which he started. He should stop whining now. HiTech

Sorry about that, Brian. I always like to put URLs with these stories. At this point, I go more for the entertainment angle too. From nytimes.com Speaking at a news conference on Long Island, Mr. Bush denied any link between Mr. Wyly's commercials and his campaign. "We had no knowledge whatsoever that Sam Wyly was going to run this ad," Mr. Bush said. "There is no coordination. I can't put it any more plainly to you: I had no idea the ad was going to run." He knew nothing, NOTHING! Round up the usual suspects! In a telephone interview from Dallas, Mr. Wyly had the same message. Asked if he had any contact with the Bush campaign, even indirectly, over the commercials, Mr. Wyly said, "Absolutely not." Mr. Wyly said that "of course" he hoped the commercials would benefit Mr. Bush, but added that he had laughed as the commercials were being prepared at how surprised Mr. Bush and his team would be when they learned about what he was doing. Odd that W and Wyly would have the same message, isn't it? Anyway, we might guess from Neocon's devotion to the anointed one that W's been vetted for a proper anti-environmental stand, so there's a certain irony here. I'm sure that the local suckups will be glad to explain how much they all really love environmentalists, in a W "compassionate conservative" sort of way. Somehow, I think W's handlers are overdoing it again, not that it matters much at this point. Just a little foreshadowing of the long, dirty campaign to come. The race was interesting and fun for a while, I fear that part's just about over, though. 8 months of this crap will sure put the electorate in a good mood. Cheers, Dan.
