McGrath of Harlow:   "What a remarkably stupid man that Brad Blakeman must be."

Actually, I'd say it's just the act of a desperate man speaking for a campaign so desperate that they'll throw any sort of mud or silly putty in the hope that something will stick.   Attacks as far-fetched and bizarre as suggesting that a man constantly accompanied by Secret Service agents for his protection should forgo visiting the dying woman who raised him, so he can continue speaking at a couple more campaign rallies, or inconvenience hundreds of other air passengers by trying to take a commercial flight to Hawaii.   

We have come to the point in this election year where absolutely anything and everything Barack Obama does -- or does not do -- is being spun as yet another reason not to trust him and not to vote for him.

I honestly can't recall when I've ever seen such ubiquitous, inconsistent, and often ridiculous attacks on a Presidential candidate.
