Acorn

What may be the most absurd, disingenuous, hypocritical remark in a McCain campaign saturated with outright lies, mindless partisan platitudes and astounding episodes of reality-denying was McCain's debate comment on Acorn; "destroying the fabric of democracy." Here's a vid on Acorn

Number 11 of Part One: ahora o nunca.

If anyone makes it here from Youtube I can let you know that I'm aware of the missing section of part one and am working on it. Hopefully it'll be back up at the end of the week.

(Update: you can go here to see the missing part for the time being)

Dave!!

All that's left are the comedians

Letterman questioned him about Palin's claim that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama "palled around with terrorists," and McCain backed her up, saying his opponent need to better explain his relationship with former Weather Underground activist William Ayers.

"Did you not have a relationship with Gordon Liddy?" Letterman asked about Watergate burglar G. Gordon Liddy.

McCain said he knew him. Then, after a commercial break, McCain said, "I know Gordon Liddy. He paid his debt, he went to prison ... I'm not in any was embarrassed to know Gordon Liddy."

"You understand the same case could be made of your relationship with him as is being made with William Ayers?" Letterman said.

McCain said he has been completely open about his relationship with Liddy.

Letterman appeared to ridicule McCain about the implication that Obama and Ayers had a relationship.

"Are they double-dating, are they going to dinner, what are they doing?" Letterman asked. "Are they driving across country?"

"Maybe going to Denny's," McCain said.

Letterman said that Obama was 8 when Ayers was 29, and McCain appeared exasperated. "There's millions of words said in a campaign. C'mon, Dave," he said.

Dave has always been carefully apolitical. But, what? You expect CNN to ask this?
