What’s In The News: 9/18/08

Bush breaks yet another record.  George Bush’s disapproval rating is the highest of any President.  Ever.

Palin can’t answer questions.

Pine beetles are also eating at Utah’s forests.  Part of a Utah newspaper story: the complex relationship between climate change, pine beetles and wildfires.

File this in a desperate campaign’s attempt to garner attention.  Republican Bob Schaffer is telling audiences that Rep. Mark Udall won’t debate him.  Despite the fact that they’ve debated six times already and have eight more scheduled in the next 47 days, or one per week.  Udall’s spokesman said it best, “I have two concerns here. One is that Bob Schaffer can’t count. The other is that he is dishonest.”  Hey Bob, there’s a reason your campaign is down by double digits.  Telling lies won’t close that gap – it will just make you look like an ass when you lose.
