On Morning Edition today, John McCain said that he “respectfully disagrees” with factcheck.org over an ad his campaign ran earlier this month about Obama’s “Comprehensive Sex-Ed for Kindergartners” bill. I don’t even know what to say about that.
His campaign also kicked Maureen Dowd off their planes, prompting her to say, “I didn’t think John McCain would ever be as dismissive of the First Amendment as Dick Cheney.” Snap!

[...] Russia halted trading again today. Evil Empire? How about floundering [...]
