John McCain's lies become major story

Even the hack Richard Cohen, who was in the bag for McCain for most of the year, is ragging on McCain for running a nasty dirty campaign. CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC also take their potshots at the truth-deprived nature of McCain's recent ads. Is this a rare occurrence of the press calling a lie a lie? Wow. And here I was, thinking that this was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence and that it had already happened once in my lifetime (in 1974) and thus would never happen again! And even Karl effin' Rove, the maestro of dirty politics, thinks McCain has gone too far. Will wonders never cease...

6PM update: Now we learn that John McCain invented the Blackberry. Err... ah. The Canucks might disagree with that, I think, given that the Blackberry is actually, err, a product of CANADA?! But maybe McInsane thinks Canada is the 51st state. Who knew?
