Enough

Okay, jeeze.

Time to start paying for clips of McCain calling Hillary a pig in lipstick. Plus Chelsea Clinton the love-child of Hillary and Janet Reno.

And check out Andrew Sullivan's column on the topic in the Atlantic (my italics):
For me, this surreal moment - like the entire surrealism of the past ten days - is not really about Sarah Palin or Barack Obama or pigs or fish or lipstick. It's about John McCain. The one thing I always thought I knew about him is that he is a decent and honest person. When he knows, as every sane person must, that Obama did not in any conceivable sense mean that Sarah Palin is a pig, what did he do? Did he come out and say so and end this charade? Or did he acquiesce in and thereby enable the mindless Rovianism that is now the core feature of his campaign?

So far, he has let us all down. My guess is he will continue to do so. And that decision, for my part, ends whatever respect I once had for him. On core moral issues, where this man knew what the right thing was, and had to pick between good and evil, he chose evil.

It seems really awful to say it, but if the only solution is more and more paid time, then ... yeah. Spend 'em back to the Stone Age. Works for me.

Good thing John Stewart is out there.

Yeah - that is a great clip.

I can't understand why it takes people so long to understand that once they've said something on film ... it's out there. But apparently quite a few haven't grasped this subtle fact yet.
