Claude Raines Rules the GOP World

...well, maybe he shares power with Joseph Goebbels. The Rethug Faux Outrage Machine is on a tear again, this time over remarks made by Senator Obama regarding "Mr. 90%" McCain trying to paint his positions as those of a maverick out to change Washington. Honestly, how do these people do this day in and day out without laughing themselves to death? I mean, it's getting so stupid out there that even Politico is getting sick of it.

Political Punch

A reporter then reminded Swift that in December, McCain was asked about criticisms coming his way from then-opponent Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., and McCain replied, "Never get into a wrestling match with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it."

Was McCain calling Romney a pig? a reporter asked Swift.

Of course not, Swift said.

It seems to me we should have one rule. If Obama was calling Palin a pig, then McCain was calling Hillary Clinton one. If McCain wasn't, then Obama wasn't.
