QUOTE OF THE DAY….From John McCain spokesman Taylor Griffin, distancing the campaign from remarks about Social Security made by the almost comically gaffe-prone Carly Fiorina:
“The lesson of history is that too many specifics at this point polarize the debate, that is the argument Carly was trying to make.”
Uh huh. Mark Kleiman translates: “If we told the retirees how completely we plan to shaft them, they might not vote for us.”

July 25, 2008 at 8:12 amMcCain’s campaign is such an empty vessel. When I’m trying to be generous about the media’s coverage of it, the thought occurs that there’s a need for them to act as if there’s something there. “As if” is the operative concept.
