Blowback:
It would appear that we have another case where the Bush Pentagon, particularly the Office of Public Affairs is forcefully inserting itself into the civilian election process.
-------------
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman is telling reporters he doesn't think it's true and that of course they can't confirm it unless the soldier -- still on active duty -- comes forward to discuss the issue with the Pentagon brass, a step that would surely do wonders for his future in the Army.
I learned today that wingnuts know every little detail about battlefield conditions in Afghanistan but have no desire to actually like, go there and be in battle.

Michelle Obama's senior thesis at Princeton is available at politico.com. It is about the racial divide at Princeton . There is also an article there about Barack Obama meeting with a member of Weather Underground in 1995. This is just unbelievable who the Democrats are about to nominate.

I've somehow managed to become 60 years old without knowing the answer to the question: Does Elizabeth marry Mr. Darcy, or not?
And for some strange reason, it matters. So, back to the video.
The Pentagon on Friday tried to cast doubt on an account of military equipment shortages mentioned by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, whose campaign team stood by the story.
In a debate with rival Hillary Clinton on Thursday evening, Obama said he had heard from an Army captain who served in Afghanistan and whose unit did not have enough ammunition or vehicles.
Of course, Jake "right half the time, at best"" Tapper, kinda confirmed it.

Not to mention the troll but that IDEA that we should never meet and talk with those who disagree with us has to be one of the STUPIDEST IDEAS EVER.
Here goes the logical progression. Republicans, please follow the bouncing ball and sing with me.
If we only meet with people who agree with us, how are we ever going to LEARN anything?
If we never LEARN anything, how are we ever going to GROW?
If we never grow, we STAGNATE and come to think of ourselves and our ideas as being inviolate.
Anyone who thinks they know all of the ANSWERS and will not entertain the idea that do NOT is fucking crazy.

I think the Times did a very clever fakeout, printing a story that would get everyone's attention, through inneundo and controversy, then when the spotlight was all on McCain and the Times, the Times would reveal their true hand: a detailed history of McCain's history with lobbyists.
