Quick break - I have to finish a project tonight, but I'll leave you with the quote of the day:

"If we’re going to ask questions about, you know, who has been promulgating negative ads that are completely unrelated to the issues at hand, I think I win that contest pretty handily." - Barack Obama
More - NRO's Campaign Spot: "Just note that if McCain had said that, it would be seen as a sign of age and dementia. If Palin had said that, it would be a sign she's not ready for prime time. If Biden said that, well, that scenario presumes that a reporter would be around to notice, but if he did, it would mean that it's a Monday."

Even a grammarian would be hard-pressed to crack a smile at that one. Do "gotcha"s come much feebler than that?

I think the point being made is that if it anybody other than Barack Obama, there would a panel of 3-5 grammarians on the next news broadcast explaining how the speech mistake was a sign of pure evil intent, and repressed sexual desire for children.

That's funny... I think the real point is that McCain's genuinely troubling unscripted remarks, misstatements, and/or lies are being equated with an Obama "gaffe" on the level of "I could care less."

It's obvious deflection. It's the "everybody does it" tit-for-tat you always get from the side that's dirtier.

Lovely projection. Uh-bama is the one having trouble with unscripted remarks. That is why Teleprompter Jesus is taking his teleprompter with him now.

Dale:
"YOU'RE the one projecting, not me. OBAMA'S the one who can't riff, not McCain."

And that's how Dale hoped to debunk the "tit-for-tat equivalency" premise.
