18 Feb 2008 05:58 pm

Does Bush Believe McCain Was Tortured?
According to the Bush administration's definition of torture, McCain was not tortured.
Swift-boat? Moi?
It's worth noting that pursuing the cross-in-the-dirt evangelical parable as it might have happened to McCain is in no way impugning anyone's war record. No one is disputing in any way what McCain did in Vietnam, his heroism, his sacrifice or any jot and tittle of his combat in arms and time in captivity.
The Dirt In The Cross Story, Ctd
There is no way to know for sure what happened between two people in a prison camp in an incident to which no one else was a witness more than a quarter century ago. But when a candidate tells a story that doesn't really add up with his previous accounts, and when he runs a campaign ad whose imagery is closer to someone else's account than his own, when a life changing moment is forgotten for a quarter of a century until a critical campaign when an appeal to conservative Christians was vital, the question is worth fleshing out.
Responding To K-Lo
Her vision necessitates marginalization and second class citizenship. And she and others on her side of the debate need to acknowledge it as such and own it.
Did McCain Just Pop Off?
Is this a calculated attempt to make media bias an issue for the Obama campaign alone, while it is a matter of record that very very few politicians have cultivated the press as assiduously as McCain? Or is it just the senator blowing a fuse because someone accused him of cheating when he didn't (but could have)? Either way, it's awfully defensive and prickly.
