The Shine is Coming Off

Some of McCain's former "constituency" in the mainstream media are starting to revolt, based on the McCain/Palin campaign's utter lack of honesty and good faith. Joe Klein of Time is outraged:

Back in 2000, after John McCain lost his mostly honorable campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, he went about apologizing to journalists--including me--for his most obvious mis-step: his support for keeping the confederate flag on the state house.

Now he is responsible for one of the sleaziest ads I've ever seen in presidential politics, so sleazy that I won't abet its spread by linking to it, but here's the McClatchy fact check. I just can't wait for the moment when John McCain--contrite and suddenly honorable again in victory or defeat--talks about how things got a little out of control in the passion of the moment. Talk about putting lipstick on a pig.

This campaign has become a complete joke. We are talking about lipstick on pigs and bridges that don't exist. Unbelievable.
