...relatively equal reaction to the other's bias. Yet an objective tally proves otherwise. Obama's mistakes have been mainly exaggerations and minor factual errors. He has also used some sound bites and headlines that may offer misconceptions about McCain's motives and ideas. However, when it comes to innuendo, unethical half-truths, character assassination and, yes, plain miserable, rotten lies--I would give McCain the prize. It is obvious that he has veered hopelessly away from ethical conduct and is no longer the man he claims to be. There is no real relative equality in his departure from civility...
...close friend Rothschild, Mandelson stayed on the oligarch's yacht because Rothschild's villa was full. In his E.U. post, Mandelson was theoretically in a position to assist the Russian's business interests. He angrily denied any impropriety in an interview with the BBC. "There has been innuendo in the newspapers that I gave favors or I gave benefits as Trade Commissioner to individuals because of my personal friendship with them," he said.

"Syringe that 'Knocked Out Maddie' Found," claimed one ludicrous Star headline, while the Express screamed: "Find the Body or McCanns Will Escape." Some stories in those papers alleged...
...course of action that will surely be self-defeating in the end. One would hope that her saying Obama is not a Muslim "as far as I know" on 60 Minutes was more the product of exhaustion than intent, but she could continue on the slimy path of innuendo, raising questions about Obama's patriotism and provenance. More likely, she could choose to play technical games: attempting to seat the disputed Michigan and Florida delegations even though she agreed that they should not be seated. She could try to stampede the superdelegates, but that will happen only if she continues...
