Camp Pain
Keith speaks with Dana Milbank.
Barack Attack: “Sixteen months into this, I’m just angry” — the words of Clinton campaign spokesman Phil Singer. “We’re on the way to locking this nomination down” — the words of Clinton campaign adviser Harold Ickies. The real headline, as we continue our Countdown to the Debate with our number two story… both of those remarks occurred… at the same media event.
Thrust & Sorry
Keith speaks with Rachel Maddow, McCainability.
The Double Talk Express: The public at a John McCain presidential campaign event in Cincinnati this morning… heard Senator Obama’s middle name, used as insult… and innuendo… and the possible next president of the United States called a “hack” and a “fraud.” Our fourth story on the Countdown: more conveniently for the racism and religious intolerance happily brandished at a McCain event… The candidate himself was not yet in the hall when the words were spoken, thus providing Senator McCain with the opportunity to play “Swiftboat-Plus,” also known as “The Captain Renault Ploy” from “Casablanca” — I’m shocked, shocked to find that slander is going on here.
Bill Cunningham at his finest, like always…
