but Olbermann and his pundits went on fluffing up the story, faux-news style, for the first 40 MINUTES of his show last night - at which point, I gave up and turned it off.

K.O. even dared to laud his "restraint" on the matter, and that of Pat Buchanan who, to his credit, seemed uncomfortable and tried to restrain his comments and avoid speculation.

What with the shrillness, and ceaseless repetition of phrases and images, the show took on the tone of Nancy Grace.

Why does this read like a Faux News item? Why do I feel like I can almost smell the smoke, almost feel the heat of the flames but can't quite see the trash you're burning here?

McCain is vulnerable - he has represented himself repeatedly as a crusader; as having affinity for and devotion to truth; as lacking in typical Republican cynicism; yet he has taken to - and followed the only path to his party's nomination by ignoring (even denying) his old crusader issues; lost his affinity for - and devotion to truth; and stayed in the cynical end of the pool where he now claims to have always been and to love it. His road to the presidency is littered with abandoned ideals - issue after issue.

Maybe you don't know how to hold him accountable for these real "negatives?" Maybe you don't believe that kind of writing is sexy enough, or sensational enough for your attention? So pay close attention as BO shows you how in the Fall, okay? Unless you can show me the trash and the flames and the smoke, I'm not interested in seeing my media organs make nasty like typical Republican organs do.

Your post has been up since before 7 this morning - wonder why you're not getting a lot of response? Think about it...

I have never been interested in the sex lives of our politicians although I do admit to some inner chortling when an extremely moralistic pol is caught with his pants down or toes tapping. This story is important only if McCain influenced public policy because of his relationship with the lobbyist. I would, however, like to hear more about his involvement in the Savings & Loan debacle those many years ago.

Please wake up people! Obama is CFR mouthpiece. Probably caught up in the crossfire of corruption like so many! He says only "change" allot thus proving his inexperience or will to tackle our REAL problems!!!! He is no different at ALL than the others.

Behind The Big News: Propaganda and the CFR

The Clinton's? WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

The revolution is on!

oh yea, realize this fact too:

Coke Bush

If you want to see some REAL patriots look here
REAL American Hero
REAL American Hero
REAL American Hero
REAL American Hero
REAL American Hero

and watch this TRUTH too
REAL American Hero

They do this by contolling information and by GREATLY influencing our elections with the BUSH-CHENEY connected DIEBOLD MACHINES.

Wake up if you love American freedom and hate needless war for profit and/or overthrowing of governments and confusion of the masses by corrupt CIA and all the neocons!

This is what the media/government has done to us for too long. The internet and people rising up with the TRUTH after all these years of media lies is the only thin that can help America now. There is no left or right in America at this moment. Only corruptness and media lies so big that most can't see though it.

McCain is one of the WORST puppets out there!!! His top four contributors, (like most candidates, are... BANKS!

R E S E A R C H I T

Ron Paul’s military contributions are greater than those of all other current candidates – John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama –combined.

The “Top Contributors” figures can be found at www.opensecrets.org.

IT IS DUTY.

When big media blocks Ron Paul out, it blocks YOU (and all your kids and family) out.

Why do you think they spew so much about "terrorists"?

Starting to get the picture now?

Yes they are doing all this and more through the corporate owned media.

Join the revolution.

Surely that bozo suffers from erectile dysfunction--and dementia--at his age. So let's not worry about the latest skinny.

When the Republicans attacked Clinton because of his sexual behaviour, I got sick with their low, invertebrate, political action!
What the Hell has anyone to do with someone's personal life?
In my country we had an elected Prime Minister, in 1977, who left his wife, took a mistress, with whom he maritally lived until both where assassinated in a plane explosion in 1980.
When he was elected he already lived publicly with her, he gave no one a justification (wich, of course, he didn't have to) and he imposed her presence in state protocol as his companion. He wasnt even divorced from his wife.
No one cared about that because he was a good prime minister.
I know that one of republican banners is this kind of hipocrit morality that interferes with personal life, and that it is tempting to make them be punished with their own remedies.
But PLEASE ! You dont need to fly as low as they use to. Dont go that way. Remember: one must make the difference. It is, somehow, a trap. If you fall on this kind of political attack, you will be fighting in the conservative's chosen low dirty battlefield, and you will probably only loose with that.
To begin with, you will have lost yhe most important thing: your integrity.
America and the world need to defeat the raising right wing forces, and that is not the way to do it.
We all deserve better than that.
