The friend whose house Ashley Todd went to after she carved a backwards-B on her face took the picture of her and gave it to the College Republicans.

I spent a good chunk of the day chasing down this story (which was first noted here) and related details that suggest Sarah Palin, at least, may have called Ashley Todd before her story broke in its full disgusting glory. But I stopped, partly because I found at least one incidence in which the cops used the inflammatory phrase cited by the McCain campaign--"teach her a lesson"--and because aside from the

Ouch. If it weren't for bad news, Sarah Palin might not have any news at all. Found culpable once already, on the morning of her deposition in the second major investigation into abuse of power, this one by the Alaska State Personnel Board, Sarahdipity woke up to a skewering by the LA Times for rampant and unprecedented cronyism.

Ever since the primary campaign for President began, what seems so long ago, I have related to readers of Emptywheel and FDL just how strong of a distaste that long time native Arizonans have always had for John McCain. Take it from the longtime native Arizonans that have known, watched, and lived through nearly three decades of the infinite angry ambition of John McCain. The man does not possess the requisite morals, temperament nor dedicated skills to serve as President of the United States.

It looks like Obama was as impressed by Michael Pollan's "Letter to the Next President" as we were.

I don't know whether the McCain team or Robert Draper himself is responsible for the important details missing from his story about the McCain campaign.

The once smooth, efficient and ruthless political machine that was the Republican Party has turned into a pathetic low brow comedy troupe. In yesterday's episode, we saw John and Cindy Drysdale McCain move in with the Palins Clampetts. In today's show, Arizona Representative John Shaddegg, part of the GOP House Leadership, sends Double Naught Super Secret Agent Jethro Bodine on a deep cover spy mission to the Arizona Democratic Headquarters.

Finally, the ad I've been waiting for since late August. Not as effective as the puppy-killer ad, but that's a tough act to beat.

Obama's campaign events are increasingly cementing the image of him governing.
