Lying Isn't What It Used to Be

So now McCain thinks he can simply ignore direct questions about the lies his campaign is telling? I have to wonder what the media fallout of this is going to be. One other thing I’ve been thinking about: does it matter? It clearly doesn’t seem to matter for Republicans – they like the Palin pick for all sorts of reasons, but one of the main ones definitely seems to be the fact that she drives progressives crazy. This must be some kind of conservative catnip. Perhaps they feel the same way about lies?

One thing I do think, though, is that the media is going to get tired of this. I would really love to see evening news broadcasts discussing how long it’s been since McCain had a press conference. You’d think they would have raised a bigger stink about getting kicked off his tour bus. Perhaps this will let them know that McCain really doesn’t love them and will finally walk out on this abusive relationship. You’ve got to hit rock bottom before you can start getting better.
