Politics: ‘Where in the world is Aaron Schock?’
The following was just posted on Press Releases:
Where in the world is Aaron Schock?
Democratic Congressional candidate Colleen Callahan today called on opponent Aaron Schock to step up to the plate and directly address an issue of grave importance both locally and across the nation — GOP presidential candidate John McCain’s call to end subsidies for U.S. ethanol production.
In press reports last week, Schock was “unavailable for comment” on the issue. Instead of addressing an important issue that could adversely affect thousands of jobs and millions of dollars to the constituents he wants to represent, Schock instead had his campaign manager Steve Shearer offer a non-quote that said, in effect, that Schock — along with Colleen Callahan and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama — generally supports corn-based ethanol and other renewable energy sources.
This is a win-win for Callahan. If Schock does come out of hiding, it looks like he’s getting worried about her candidacy, which chips away at the myth of his invincibility. If he doesn’t come out of hiding (or simply return a phone call, or two) voters start wondering where Shock is and what’s he’s been up to.

If the nukes for Taiwan thing didn’t bring him down, this ain’t gonna do it. Sorry.

Oh I don’t know CJ..
Events since Aaron Strangelove’s inspired foreign policy advice, have included nukes being sent to Taiwan by mistake along with missile parts. An investigation has been underway which included the recent public resignations of two high ranking officers. No word on any other career casualties. It would be hard to believe Aaron Strangelove could have any role but in the world of dirty politics you can pretty much say and do anything. Considering the whole affair is still being investigated (as far as I know) I wouldn’t want to be in the position of having to be answering questions.
I hear Cheney’s hidden bunker is rather posh and with a female to male ratio of 10 to 1, why would he want to leave? Gotta stay where the water is purest.

I just heard on WCBU this morning that Sheldon Schafer was unavailable for comment. I assume we’ll be seeing a post soon titled “Where in the world is Sheldon Shafer?” and perhaps a press release from Ms. Callahan.

Billy, what a load of crap. So what is his option #3 if he is not worried about her candidacy but would like to address the issue?

His options? Blame the media.

Folks, I think we’re getting a preview of what it will be like once he’s elected: gone, baby, gone.
