McCain Will Steal Your Babies, but Terrorist Obama will Eat Them

The hard-core character attacks have begun, which I suppose was inevitable, particularly as McCain slipped in the polls. I didn't expect the McCain campaign to go as low as it did over the weekend, though, suggesting that Obama -- who once served on a board with William Ayers, who was engaged in that hippy violence back when Obama was 8 years old -- was palling around with terrorists. Give me a fucking break, dude.

But of course, the networks and CNN -- desperate themselves to create some new drama now that the bailout drama has passed -- has picked it up and run with it. By the time the network news rolls around tonight, it'll be the top story. Brian Williams, et. al., will report that it's not particularly accurate, but they'll report it all the same.

Fortunately, it looks like Obama isn't going to sit there and take it, like Kerry did. He's had a magic bullet up his sleeve for months, and I suspect he was wary of using it, but was saving it just in case McCain starting attacking indiscriminately like a wounded pit bull.

The Keating Five, y'all. Yeah. He went there. And expect him to keep going there, as long as McCain/Palin continue to throw the kitchen sink.
