Missing the point on Phil Gramm

Ed Morrissey wrote post about the departure of Phil from the McCain camp. As part of his post, he talked about the Gramm venture in the porn industry:
The second issue has been bouncing around the Leftosphere for a few days.  Gramm invested $15,000 in some cheesy soft-core porn film … in 1973.  Apparently he lost [...]

Last I checked it wasn’t Obama they had picked

I love how Ed Morrissey’s latest post at Hotair on the NY Times and Obama starts:
The New York Times editorial board went to bed with a virgin and woke up with a … well, a pro, in milder terms, or so they seem to imply in today’s unhappy missive. 
Last I checked, the NYT editorial board [...]

Taking away from the dignity of the office…

How? By John McCain appearing on Saturday Night Live, per Laura Ingraham.
I love Laura’s criteria. I really wonder what she thought of ‘heck of a job Brownie’, or the joke Bush made in 2004 about WMD.

McCain open to government control on drug prices… (the end of the free market!)

I love the drug reimportation question. Are you for buying drugs from foreign countries? McCain was asked about that today:
Matt Lewis, Townhall: It’s easier to sell liberal ideas as opposed to free-market solutions. How do they plan to do the latter, and what about drug importation? — Fundamental difference of putting government in charge rather [...]

Misusing McCain’s POW experience

The LA TIMES had a recent article that had the following title:

John McCain gets tax-free disability pension
The disclosure of the Navy benefit for injuries incurred as a Vietnam POW may raise fitness questions.
I don’t particularly want to discuss the article, but I think there is a point to be made here. Personally, I think that [...]

Did you see the little tears down their eyes?

Hotair as a clip with David Axelrod of Barack Obama’s campaign going against Hillary Clinton’s new chief strategist Geoff Garin. Ed Morrissey comments:
Both campaigns have conducted negative advertising, and for both strategists to cry about it on national TV would embarrass anyone — except maybe a Democrat.
You know, I watched that clip and didn’t see [...]

You can’t have it both ways

After the 100 years ‘misquote’, Team McCain charges that Obama is distorting McCain once again…
Via Conservative Punk. For a change, this one has nothing to do with spending 100 years in Iraq. Team Maverick is irate, for good reason as you’ll see, but what I think we’re watching here is a strategy starting to take [...]

I’m not sure Obama really distorts McCain with those 100 years…

HotAir has a clip on Obama and saying that Obama is distorting what the American McCain said about staying in Iraq for 100 years. I think if you listen to Obama, it’s not as clear to me as it was that he is distorting what McCain said.
Shocking. Not that he’d distort it; that’s politics. What’s [...]

When you kneel too much at the altar of the free market…

Some people just don’t get it:
ARLINGTON, VA. — Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of former Democratic presidential contender John Edwards, said she and John McCain have one thing in common: “Neither one of us would be covered by his health policy.”

Under McCain’s plan, insurance companies “wouldn’t have to cover preexisting conditions like melanoma and breast cancer,” [...]

The American president Americans have been waiting for?

From Crooksandliars:

The RNC gets a little touchy
On Friday, John McCain’s campaign unveiled its first general-election TV ad — the one that uses the word “American” one too many times — and the Democratic National Committee did what was expected: it responded by criticizing John McCain.

The ad claims McCain is “The American president Americans have been [...]
