...lipstick, the presidential campaign shifted from overdrive to a measured idle on the anniversary of 9/11, as John McCain and Barack Obama answered questions separately about what they would do to bolster volunteerism and service among Americans.

Critics, who are questioning whether the alleged coup plot was actually real, were quick to suggest that this latest anti-gringo outburst would conveniently deflect attention away from allegedly incriminating evidence against Chávez and his government emerging in an international corruption trial that began this month in Miami.

...showed jitters. She didn't look comfortable with the ludicrous compression of arguments, the need to drown out other guests to get a point across. The casual-garbed Maddow also felt awkward having to "dress like a Senator" on TV. But as her radio work proved, Maddow's a quick study. She got on top of the medium quickly. Certainly the MSNBC brass thinks so. Otherwise they wouldn't have dumped Dan Abrams' The Verdict to make room...
