US gubmint shutdown + default + subprime sequel?

[Koga No Goshi]

How about the fact that Palin and McCain had to be called upon multiple times to address this issue in their gatherings? You do remember that?

McCain did eventually (after MUCH public pressure to say something over a fairly long period) address this in his appearances and told people to stop with the Muslim terrorist characterizations, but if Palin ever did the same, I'm unaware of it. This was a big enough issue in national level Presidential campaigns that two frontrunners had to be called on to say something about it, and you want to construe it as just some tiny dismissable fringe? Okay.
