Full. Of. Shit.


This non-story is precisely the problem with the fourth estate in this country, and the root of the problem is with mediawhore hacks like Russert or Kristol masquerading as journalists.

The very idea that McCain's allegation could be presented as anything but a flat-out lie speaks volumes, as does the fact that, yes, media "flattery" of Barack Obama consists in--gasp!--actually reporting what he said and not offering some sort of spin undertow.

Claiming Al Qaeda in Iraq is "Al Qaeda" is like claiming Tortelvis is Led Zepplin. It's an insult to the intelligence of anyone with a triple digit IQ and makes a mockery of journalism.

And people wonder why this generation prefers Jon Stewart. At least he's true to himself...
