John McCain lacks the character to be president:
Josh Marshall: McCain Goes After Michelle ...: From TPM Election Central ...
The McCain campaign is now broadening their attack on Obama's past association with William Ayers to include Michelle Obama -- even though McCain has repeatedly said spouses should be off limits during the campaign.
The attack? Bernardine Dohrn, Ayers' wife and fellow former Weatherman, went to work in 1984 for the major Chicago-based national law firm of Sidley & Austin, and three years later, Michelle joined the mega-firm as well.
That's the entire attack. We wish we were joking. But we aren't.
Read the rest of the story here.
"The McCain campaign is now broadening their attack on Obama's past association with William Ayers to include Michelle Obama -- even though McCain has repeatedly said spouses should be off limits during the campaign."
In short, once again McCain broke his word and showed his lack of honor.
By this point, how could anyone be surprised?

Time to change the headline to John McCain: Desperate and Despicable.

Does this mean that the Obama camp can now mention Cindy McCain's continued ties with Charles Keating? There's enough there to write a book.

Jesus lord. Now white shoe firms like Sidley Austin are part of the terrorist web? Sidley is about as corporate and tied in to the establishment as you can get.
This doesn't even rise to the level of slander by association. It's simple incoherence.
