Talking Points Memo has this awesome video with Brian Williams and Chuck Todd talking about a McCain/Palin interview. And, yes, Todd says, “They know that they’re losing.”

Over at Fox News, Brit Hume is titling his conversations things like, “Special Report Panel on Whether McCain Still Has a Chance.” Ha!

Hillary Clinton is apparently secure that the Prez needs no more campaignin’: she was in Minnesota yesterday campaigning for… Al Franken. (Fair is fair: she was in Florida and Nebraska for the main man the day before.)

Greenspan comes clean! The Former Federal Reserve Chairman admitted at a hearing on Capitol Hill today that maybe that deregulation thingy with the housing market was a stupid idea. The New York Times reports that Greenspan kinda, sorta admitted he made a mistake:

“I made a mistake in presuming that the self-interests of organizations, specifically banks and others, were such as that they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders and their equity in the firms,” he said. ““I have found a flaw. I don’t know how significant or permanent it is. But I have been very distressed by that fact.”

Whoops!

Apparently, the “Un-American” meme that Rep. Michelle Bachman (R-Minn) tossed to the media on Hardball over the weekend wasn’t a one-off thing. CQ Politics is reporting that House Republicans have been slandering their Dem counterparts with the label for some time.

My anti-Mac colleague may be interested to hear this from Fortune, who says the iPhone is driving down stocks for its prime vendor, AT&T. Oops.

One more thing: I really don’t get the McCain attack line criticizing Obama for saying that he would cross Pakistani borders to kill “terrorists” (with or without permission), since we’re already there, killing people. This is covered under the umbrella of the Afghan war, though, so don’t worry that we’re on too many fronts. Good grief. If Obama is really a “savior,” he’ll keep us out of war with Iran.
