This is like shooting fish in a barrel. Except there are only 2 fish. But one of them is young and stupid and the other is old and stupid.

• 20 lies and flipflops told by the McCain campaign. Just the fact that a list like this can be made with a straight face and without having to reach to minor quotes and strange contexts is more than a little disturbing.
• Factcheck.org is pissed at yet another McCain ad. Keep em coming.
• Oh and now the Republicans are reallllllllly reaching: Feehery claimed attacks on Palin are “kind of attacking motherhood and apple pie and everything good about America” — yes, Palin has become Lady Liberty incarnate in 1 week and to speak about her qualifications as a candidate for VP now means you are a terrorist. Holy shit, I shouldn’t have said that — come Monday morning, this will be the new party line.
• Consensus seems to be that Palin knows nothing of the world outside of Alaska. In fact, based on last night’s interview, she doesn’t even know McCain’s stances on world issues. This is not good.
• And here is a good example of why we have to repair our standing with the world: less than half the world believes that al Qaeda was behind the 9/11 attacks. Yay for us so completely fucking up Iraq that now no one believes anything we say. (In fact, the runner-up was the “US government.” The world loves Bush, clearly.)
