nacho cheese

"As the candidate of Doritos, his hands are stained by corporate corruption and nacho cheese" In regards Colbert's 'run' in SC.

The campaign that has chosen to 'attack' first is that of Edwards. Edwards has gone to great lengths to create the impression that his campaign is impervious to corrupt corporations when he is being funded, largely, by trial lawyers. I'm not sure that lawyers are very popular with the American public either, perhaps even less so than the corporations. At least corporations are paying for some of our benefits and income, even if they are occasionally ripping us off or scheming something through Washington. Lawyers certainly aren't seen as social engines of beneficial change, and very rarely do they pay us or provide benefits (basically if we get into trouble or have foolish people who convince other lawyers to sue us). Outside of paperwork regarding estates and some tax/property agreements, I can't say I could think of a useful purpose for lawyers actually outside of a courtroom. Other than that they're probably the only type of person who can actually argue with me and succeed in annoying me. Sophism is really annoying.


Mukasey said the president can overrule a federal statute when the nation's defense is at risk. "There's no such provision in the Constitution whatsoever,"

Good point. I wasn't aware that being commander-in-chief meant that the Constitution becomes subject to national defense in times of crisis. There are reasonable accommodations to make therein, but it's still the big dog of law to follow.
