Here's some of what I've perused:

  • Update: Media Matters documents Charlie Gibson's soft-on-McCain (read, pro: McCain) interview style.
  • Joe Klein calls McCain's pro-sexual predator ad "one of the sleaziest ads I've ever seen in presidential politics." McClatchy says the ad is a lie. McCain must hate the Cub Scouts because they are anti-sexual predator.
  • Josh Marshall thinks McCain isn't even fit for high office, and warns folks to not get flustered by the bile.
  • Sensitivity-gate: McCain-land is still umbraging all over the place about lipstick on a pig, and calling McCain a fish. McCain has said lipstick on a pig at least three times. Here's video of one of those times.
  • Good question: "Will John McCain bring Sarah Palin to the debates with Obama?"
  • The National Enquirer is giving the Palin family the John Edwards treatment. You feel sympathetic?
  • From the archives: A 1996 article in the local Wasilla paper about Palin's censorship inquiries
  • McCain-land defends Palin for charging the state a per diem for the privilege of allowing her to work from home
  • And in news about Palin's extremism, ABC investigates Palin's dance around the edge of censorship and her conflict with a Wasilla librarian.

What else is news?
