WOODS CROSS -- When the man known as "Joe the Plumber" appeared with Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Cherilyn Eagar at a breakfast here Thursday, the two couldn't have looked more different.

Samuel "Joe" Wurzelbacher of Holland, Ohio, wore a plaid work shirt, a tan denim jacket and work boots as he sat backwards on his chair facing the small group that had paid $20 each for breakfast and to come hear him.

Eagar sat with her legs crossed just so, wearing a polished business suit and high heels.

While their appearance was very different, the two said their views were the same.

"She's honest," Wurzelbacher said. "That's pretty much what it comes down to."

Rich Stockwell, senior producer of 'Countdown' shares his insights after a visit to a health clinic in New Orleans:

New Orleans, La. — - It happened as I watched a 50-something woman walk out, after spending several hours being attended to by volunteer doctors. "She's decided against treatment. A reasonable decision under the circumstances," the doctor tells us as she heads for the next patient. The president of the board of the National Association of Free Health Clinics tells me why: "It's stage four breast cancer, her body is filled with tumors." I don't know when that woman last saw a doctor. But I do know that if she had health insurance, the odds she would have seen a doctor long ago are much higher, and her chances for an earlier diagnosis and treatment would have been far greater.

After watching for hours as the patients moved through the clinic, it was hard to believe that I was in America.

Just because one was not a white American man shouldn't mean that our laws be upended to appease bloodthirsty and misguided Republicans.   To me, I wonder if these Americans believe in the principles of our justice system.  A belief system isn't something to be tossed aside when it doesn't fit with the ideology. A belief system should provide
a framework on how to proceed when shyt truly hits the fan.

Because what's the purpose of America, if we toss aside our principles at the first hint of trouble?

Greg Sargent speaks to a McCain adviser about Sarah Palin's complaints about being muzzled on the campaign trail while being 'forced' to talk to the scary Katie Couric:

“The truth is, she refused to prepare for the Katie Couric interview,” the adviser continued. “She refused to engage in any preparation. And it was a disaster.”

The adviser also mocked a contradiction at the core of Palin’s claims: She’s simultaneously saying she was muzzled and kept from the press, even as she’s claiming she only did the Couric interview at the urging of McCain aides.

“You were prevented from talking to all these reporters, and you’re mad about that,” the adviser said, chortling incredulously. “But you’re also mad about the interviews you did. It’s so full of contradictions that you don’t know where to begin.”

BTW, she's not responsible for sending letters to her lover's wife. And when Jay Leno made fun of her looks, she had to have a friend stay with her because she was so distraught at being considered unattractive.  But not because she stalked her lover's family.

Got that?
