The post-mortem fingerpointing continues. The latest accuser, Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, goes so far as to blame John McCain for betraying conservative principles in his presidential campaign. More below.

McSame? McBush? How about McNasty -- his high-school nickname? Having attended the same boarding school, Episcopal High, about ten years after McCain, I feel I’m somewhat qualified to comment on the sociological context in which this nickname would have been bestowed.

When it comes to condescending to PA, nobody outdoes top Hillary aide/crony James Carville. Here we are parsing a single adjective used by Barack Obama -- "bitter" -- when in fact Carville once wrote off most of the state as redneck country. More below the fold.

Like a lot of observers, my outrage over the politically-motivated prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman was compounded when the Huntsville, Alabama, CBS affiliate WHNT blacked out a "60 Minutes" segment on the case this Sunday. At first it seemed a clear case of censorship. The claim that the "glitch" originated with CBS was disproven, and of course it’s known that the station ownership (Capitol Hill Partners) skews to the right.

So, obviously, the omission of this particular segment seemed to provide yet more evidence that Siegelman can’t get a fair shake in the state of Alabama. Even the news department of a major network station wouldn’t air the truth, right?

But maybe it’s not so simple. Over the years, I’ve e-mailed and called numerous media outlets to protest unfair treatment of various people and causes (remember the ABC mockumentary on 9/11?), and have received at best a form response, if that. However, to my enormous surprise, my e-mail to WHNT received not one, not two, but three responses, from the assistant station manager and two anchors. Their replies were thoughtful and persuasive.
