...Congress and the White House. Make copious use of outrage and emotion. Rather than a single, unified message, Schmidt planned a multifaceted attack, which would be stitched together under the banner of "Country First," a phrase that both highlighted McCain's war-hero biography and suggested Obama was a selfish, pandering elitist...
...things that Gregg seems to get right. These flashbacks are the only scenes that meaningfully treat Victor’s need to fill his parental void. while Victor bounces between foster families, Houston, a criminal and pseudo-terrorist, steals him away in bouts of blind but selfish love between arrests.Brad William Henke plays Victor’s best friend Denny, a chronic self-gratifier.

In fact...
...When the Governator, furious that the state's congress can't pass a budget (he's paying state workers minimum wage until one is passed) chastised Democrats for partying while Sacramento burns, the Dems had to give up their hotel rooms or look like lazy, selfish pols. Personally, I'd go for lazy, selfish pols and see Death Cab for Cutie on Wednesday with emcee Sarah Silverman, but then again, I wouldn't want to live in Sacramento and argue about budgets...
