Shock jocks are shocking, imagine that.

I haven't commented on the talk show host/ blabber mouth McCain fiasco because that's what these guys want; say something shocking and get on the news. What great publicity.

Now that the news has passed like a bad meal through my intestines, let me make these points.

1) Why do news media types acknowledge these things when they occur. The talk show host involved got tons of mileage out of this and the national news media play right along like some kind of lap dog. These guys are like kids, ignore them when they pull attention getters.

By the way, who provided the national media with all the tapes? His radio station.

2) Since when did someone's name become an off limits attack. His middle name is Hussein. Deal with it. If he can't handle the truth then he doesn't have thick enough skin to be president.

3) Remember when John F. Kerry kept using that "F" initial in his name to create some kind of bull crap imagery of another Massachusetts JFK. Well, using your name as imagery is part of the game, positive and negative. By the way, I'm pretty sure the F stands for Francois.

4) McCain, how is it he found the fortitude to call out a shock jock but didn't call out the woman who called The Billary a bitch?

5) Once again, the national media is handling their candidate with kid gloves. As a result, he'll get pounded with a "swift boat" moment because the campaign will be ill prepared to deal with the fallout.

6) The national media has done a horrible job of vetting it's candidate. I guess it's hard to vet ole Che while you're screaming like a little girl at a Beattle's concert.
