McCain went on to hire some of those very people responsible for the rumors for his own campaign this year.
And, remarkably, they seem to have done more damage to him this time around than they did when they were working against him.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There's also that dumb rumor that McCain was responsible for the fire on the Forrestal. I googled on that a while ago, and all matches cited a single account without saying where that account came from. Then one google match I was reading kept on using the phrase "Jew media" so at that point I stopped my search....

I don't get why these people see such a distinction between McCain and the campaign - or, rather, why they think that doesn't look just as bad:
"He's running a crappy campaign and screwing it all up!"
"They're running a crappy campaign and screwing it all up and he's powerless to stop them!"
Oh yes, much more presidential.

And, y'know, I don't have any problem with the decent reasons. Not enough experience? Okay! That's a reason! I can respect it! But I just get so mad when the reasons are madeup stupid shit. Oh, and repeating the GOP party line on "community organizers". You're welcome to not consider it relevant experience, if you like, but the crap about "they don't REALLY do anything" is... ARRRRRGH!
It wouldn't bug me so much except that I generally respect these kids' intellegence. Don't know why they turned off their crap filter today.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Okay - guffawed out loud in my office. Thanks, amy. I needed that.

OTOH, I am hoping that Obama doesn't sit back on his poll numbers. I want him to be really, really good.
I think he knows that he can't let up at this point. He might be out in front by most measures (fivethirtyeight.com, I'm looking at you), but there's still 3 weeks to go, and I think this campaign has shown that a HUGE amount of shenanigans can occur in that time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, speaking of the election... When I did my tiny amount of calling for Obama, I got one old lady who was like, "Why are they talking about abortion all the time, when we're in the middle of an unjust war?!?!?" I had no idea anyone was currently talking about abortion, but maybe Pennsylvania politics is that different?

Last week, Palin was talking about abortion a lot. Was this before then?
