McCain, Clinton, and Obama all have big scandals now

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

There probably is something on Huckabee and Paul as well. I just haven't found it yet. This may turn out to be the worst election for dirty politics yet.

There is no perfect candidate this year. They are all very much flawed in multiple ways.

But, that doesn't necessarily mean that we're in trouble... In fact, they all could potentially turn out to be good leaders.

The country runs itself, anyways... Things change very little year over year, regardless of who is in office.

1. No one cares anymore.

2. Politics without scandal is like rock-n-roll without the electric guitar.

3. No one cares anymore.

The part that amazed me is that the majority of panelists on CNBC's Kudlow and Company last night justified all of McCain's actions except the possible affair.

The sad part is if I were getting free use of another companies corporate jet for my personal use while I am acting on their behalf at my employer, then I am acticg outside the realm of our corporate code of conduct and would be dismissed.

You don't really think anybody on CNBC is going to complain about usage of corporate jets do you?

A general question or a Bartiromo bashing?

Yes, because these people have to live up to the same corporate standards I have to abide. And in the last 10 years, those corporate standards that we need to use to guide our corporate lives are more and more strict.

General corporate bash. Maria is my one true love and can do no wrong.

While they may have to live up to new standards, they sure don't have to like it.
