Well, of course he will.

He's already accusing Obama of having ties to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, while of course it's McCain who has 83 financial industry lobbyists working for his campaign today.

And there's more, under where it says there's more.

Wow, what a missed opportunity with two capable, intelligent, liberal-minded talents devoting airtime to meaningless garbage. Last night, Keith spent - I don't know, ten, fifteen minutes? - talking about LipstickGate. Just going on and on about it with guests, showing clips of McCain saying it, talking about what a shame it is "the media" is covering this garbage.

But Maddow? Wow, she really takes the cake.

Keith and Rachel are lucky to have shows. Don't ask them to mess up their careers by talking about such controversial topics.

Look, you're way out of line, here. Keith and Rachel are doing a great job, and you don't know what you're talking about. Let the professionals program their shows. It's Countdown and Maddow, for crying out loud! They didn't get where they are today b

OK, I was reading through this post from DemFromCT, and I saw this line:

Only nine percent of Clinton supporters said they thought they would vote Republican because Palin was on the ticket.

ONLY?

Somebody explain to me why this is good.

So you already know that three of the most powerful American Republicans have canceled their appearances at the Republican Convention:

Bush and Cheney are focusing on Hurricane Gustav, which is rapidly approaching the Gulf Coast. Schwarzenegger is staying home to deal with a standoff with California legislators over the state budget. All three had been scheduled to speak Monday night at the convention.

This is the Republican convention. Are any Republicans going to show up? I can assure you that Lieberman isn't going to cancel.

I was just reading about Sarah Palin over at CNN, and I found out some more details about her troopergate problem that I had not seen before:

[Palin] is under investigation for her firing of a state official, Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. She has been instructed to hand over documents and recordings of telephone conversations as part of the probe, which grew out of allegations she sacked Monegan for refusing to fire her former brother-in-law from the state police.

Palin acknowledged that a member of her staff made a call to a trooper in which the staffer suggested he was speaking for the governor.

Palin has admitted that the call could be interpreted as pressure to fire state trooper Mike Wooten, who was locked in a child-custody battle with Palin's sister.

"I am truly disappointed and disturbed to learn that a member of this administration contacted the Department of Public Safety regarding Trooper Wooten," Palin said. "At no time did I authorize any member of my staff to do so."

Palin suspended the staffer who made the call.

I was just reading this article over at The Democratic Strategist, entitled "How to Attack John McCain – What would Rove Do?"

I respectfully disagree on their theory of what Karl Rove would do.

I absolutely refuse to let this story go away. I'm just so blown away by Glenn Greenwald's article in Salon yesterday. I'm sure you've read it by now, but it continues to amaze me.

Much more important than the general attempt to link the anthrax to Islamic terrorists, there was a specific intent -- indispensably aided by ABC News -- to link the anthrax attacks to Iraq and Saddam Hussein.

...and John McCain promoted the Iraq/anthrax connection on Letterman on Oct. 18th:

Here's a poor quality video from YouTube showing McCain accusing Barack Obama of sedition:

Um...Is something funny?

New Glenn Greenwald column up:

The Obama campaign's last two weeks

He says...

[N]obody who has watched the last seven years would believe that Bush would be deterred because pardons are deemed by courts to be technical admissions of some level of guilt[.]

He also says...

That's a direct quote from Hugh Hewitt, radio talk show host.

My question is: Is he wrong?

The AP reports the facts:

[Focus on the Family founder James] Dobson took aim at examples Obama cited in asking which Biblical passages should guide public policy — chapters like Leviticus, which Obama said suggests slavery is OK and eating shellfish is an abomination, or Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, "a passage that is so radical that it's doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application."

Look, I don't know if they are or not. I do know this: A year ago, Fox News CEO Roger Ailes said this:

"The candidates that can’t face Fox, can’t face Al Qaeda."

I mean, I'll go out on a limb and say, I don't think that Fox is a front for Al-Qaeda. Which is more than E.D. Hill would say when she ran that story about the gesture between Senator and Mrs. Obama that probably wasn't a Terrorist Fist Jab.
