Legal Commentary

The VC has been an incredibly active blog on all things presidential campaign- and bailout-related in the past couple of weeks.  I don't tend to agree with a lot of posts on these issues by a few of the bloggers on that site.  That's fine; they don't need my permission!

Still, I can't help but notice that in the past 36 hours or so, a few pieces of news -- John McCain's decision to "suspend" (or "pretend-suspend") his campaign; his and his subordinates' active pursuit of the campaign in the same period; his discovery that the Republic's survival depends on his skipping out of his homework assignment, i.e. debating Obama; his meeting yesterday with dissident House Republicans and with other supporters of his campaign in the House like John Boehner; the apparent collapse of the bailout accord at the hands of these same actors; his apparent view that he knew the deal was dead before he even walked into the White House although he said nothing about it at the time; his general refusal to either approve or reject the deal; and the apparent host of inaccuracies salted through a conference call that McCain's flacks held earlier this week to dispute Obama's own facts -- haven't yet made it on the site. 

We have, however, heard about farting at police officers, Al Gore, Obama's attack on NRA ads, law review editing, rabbis, and sex with sheep.  (In fairness, we also got a poll asking readers whether McCain had acted correctly in "suspending" his campaign.  It came from Orin, natch, whose posts are always admirable.)

Technical difficulties?
