C.M. Punk Saves Festus, Heat On McMahon For 9/11 Stance
- Linda McMahon is getting some criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike for her wishy-washy response to a question about whether the 9/11 trials should be held in New York. “I’ll probably have more firm policy statements after the first of the year,” she said. Her detractors say that her refusal to pick a side shows her inexperience. A spokesman for one of Linda’s Republican opponents in the Senate race said, “It is deeply disappointing that when given the opportunity to stand firm against Sen. Dodd’s dangerous and misguided approach, Mrs. McMahon took a pass. It goes to show that slick campaign ads and an army of high-priced consultants can’t buy the experience and judgment necessary to keep our nation safe.”
UPDATE: The McMahon campaign now tells Courant.com: “Linda is opposed to trying Khalid Sheik Mohammad in civilian court. Her position on terrorist trials is crystal clear and unwavering, just as it is with cap-and-trade, card check legislation, government-run healthcare and runaway spending.”
Warning: The following contains a minor spoiler for Friday’s SmackDown:
- The WWE superstar formerly known as Festus has been repackaged and is now aligned with C.M. Punk. During Tuesday night’s SmackDown taping, Festus joined Punk in the ring and announced himself as Luke Gallos. Gallos acted like a normal guy and blamed his previous mental condition on years of drug abuse. Punk took credit for helping Gallos get off drugs and has taken him under his wing. As we reported several weeks ago, Festus will serve as Punk’s enforcer.

Well, that’s one way to give Festus some tv time. No more biscuits and gravy for us.
oh sheesh, how much longer is this drug and alcohol thing with punk gonna go on lol..i do know its not a bad thing so to speak, but too much of it can certainly and will drive me away lol..i do know he was in rehab for the issues and is staying clean..
Linda is learning the hard way that politics isn’t like Vinnie Mac domain where he can hire and fire anyone who disagrees with him. She is in an arena all to herself taking a stand unique to others. If she expects to win, she has to show the same determination that all the WWE wrestlers show every-time they step into that ring and perform and fight.
what will be of Slam Master J or Jesse now (ok, yes the duo has been separated for some time now, but the question is will Jesse get involved here)?
Apparently Linda’s going to have to talk to Jesse “The Body” to really get educated on politics..people that aren’t looking into the kinda stuff Ventura’s talking about in the year 2009 are freakin’ sheeple. It’s all over the place, and it just goes to show that Linda’s supporting the puppet show.
I wasn’t really impressed by Festus, he did show agression in the ring, but that’s it.
Maybe this will shine a new light on him. I liked what they did with Jesse, but he seems to be missing…
Anyone seen his picture on a milkbox? :)
