Digging back into the past can be scary, but it can also be a massive relief when you look at how far you’ve come.

For some reason, I think I find this funnier than most. Funny also that this is really the only kind of media attention that G-Dub is getting these days.

The first image above is a button that was on sale at the Texas GOP Convention.  According to Politico’s Ben Smith:  “The speakers were generally respectful of Obama, the Dallas Morning News reports, but this is the sort of stuff that the RNC has been warning state parties about for months.”

Crooks & Liars has done a bang-up job detailing no less than 10 major flip flops on the part of one John McCain and his crack team of campaign strategists in the past three weeks.
