Remember that scene in New Jack City, where there's a shootout at a wedding, and just to make the villain Nino Brown more despicable, director Mario Van Peebles has him snatch a baby out of a nearby carriage and use it to shield himself from gunfire? Well the political version of that looks something like this:
Though McCain is widely perceived to to drawn first blood by attacking Obama's character, the official said that the difference between Obama's mocking McCain for his wealth and his shaky answer on the number of homes he owns was that McCain's charge "reflects an existential reality," where Obama's charges "attack Cindy. She owns the homes. I thought he said the wives were off-limits."Really? When you come under fire, the first thing you do is duck behind your wife? At least Nino Brown could say it wasn't his baby. What's next? Is the Campaign going to blame the McCain's hundreds of thousands in credit card debt on their daughter?Let's be clear about this. Obama didn't bring up John McCain's wife. John McCain brought up John McCain's wife. -- A. Serwer
