Yet more slime

I was standing in the gloom, thinking once again about John McCain's adoption of former Rove operatives into his campaign. And about Joe Lieberman's proclamation that Barack Obama "does not put America first." And about Mark Penn's memo that Obama "is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and his values." Utterly maddening, utterly depressing.

Then I learned about the latest book to hit the top of the NY Times bestseller list -- The Obama Nation, by Jerome R. Corsi. Yes, the same Jerome Corsi of "Swiftboating" infamy, slime dispenser par excellence. (One refutation source on the net is http://mediamatters.org/ -- see both their home page and their archives. And John Kerry has just now set up his own site to refute the Corsi slime.)

There are still 52 days before the election. Imagine how much more garbage is yet to be dumped upon us. When it's over, the whole nation is going to need a pass through the car wash.
