Ken Layne's OutrageWelcome to the dumbest part of our endless national campaign, when all these professional politicians all start pretending they are shocked and hurt by professional politics.

Hillary Clinton is so outraged by Barack Obama's campaign sending out campaign mailers! Do you know what that lousy Barack Obama did, even though he is supposedly the guy who uses fancy words to "convince" people to "vote" for him?

That's right, he shamefully allowed these evil mailers to go out to people who might want to make a decision about voting next week, even though the mailers said Obama and Clinton had differences. What does he want, to win the nomination or something?

And have you heard about that nasty newspaper, the New York Times? Shame on you newLEAVE HIM ALONE!spaper people for what you did to Hero Maverick John "Lobbyist" McCain. You implied that he is sort of close to lobbyists.

And then the Washington Post took it a step further, cruelly noting that all of John McCain's staffers and friends and probably children are all lobbyists. For shame, newspaper people!

The worst part about the New York Times "hit job" on innocent Keating Five figure John McCain is that it happened during a year in which John McCain is running for president. Shame, shame!

Nice people know that when you're publishing articles critical of hypocritical career politicians like John McCain, you can only do it when the politician isn't running for anything, so nobody will notice. Do you want to bring SHAME to a candidate who is only trying to become the president? Leave him alone! Didn't you know he was tortured?

Lately it seems like nobody in this godforsaken country feels any shame at all.

Who should be the most ashamed in 2008?
Barack Obama for doing campaign things.144 (19.0%)
Hillary Clinton for complaining.234 (30.9%)
John McCain for being a lobbyist.50 (6.6%)
The Main Stream Media for telling people about how John McCain is a lobbyist.42 (5.5%)
Bill Clinton for always talking, plus the sex stuff.84 (11.1%)
That one lobbyist gal for looking like John McCain's wife.25 (3.3%)
All of America, for not voting for Ron Paul.179 (23.6%)

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
