over at the InstaNewsRoom, writing about the NYT smear about McCain, and Bill Keller's defense thereof:

It's a ludicrous argument. It would mean that editors could purvey all sorts of trash as long as it is [was] embedded in a larger story. And when we get outraged, they could look down their noses and insult us about our poor reading comprehension.

Well, that is exactly what is being suggested: the affair thing was parenthetical. An aside. Shame on the American people, and our filthy dirty-Tom minds, for even noticing the allegation of a sexual affair. The real news lay elsewhere—in the fact that McCain was friends with a lobbyist.

I'm embarrassed. For myself. For my fellow conservatives. For America.

I feel, in fact, like a dirty, dirty whore.
