I had to smile when reading how the liberal blogosphere ^[1]–convoking in Philly at Eschacon ‘08 under the aegis of, one assumes, the mighty Eschaton–have got their knickers in the proverbial twist at the namby-pamby way the media treats McCain (except when they don’t ^[2]). The libobloggers aren’t going to put up with this nonsense. They’re going after… wait for this… Chris Matthews who apparently likes McCain “as a person.” That’s better than a lot of Republicans. Of course, there are few the right despises more these days than Matthews. Meanwhile, I wonder what the Eschaton crowd would think of Hillary consorting with Richard Mellon Scaife ^[3], who seems to be playing namby-pamby with Clinton. My poor head is spinning here. I can’t keep up with all this. I think I’m going to go call Woody Allen and see if he remembers my mantra.
