Evening Wrap Up...Going to the mattresses....

Goin' to the Mattresses

We all know what this means.

When sh*t hits the fan, you do whatever to survive and one up the next guy.

The major GAFFE by John McCain, not knowing how many houses he has is spiraling into a mess, for McCain.

It just reiterates what many already know, this man is completely out of touch. How can anyone with 10 homes even relate to little ol' us, who are just working stiffs, trying to keep things going? He can't.

Now he is going to the mattresses. He already released a Rezko, "House Ad", which is weak, but is not refraining from Reverend Wright. Meaning, expect one soon.

Yes, he will go down this road to make this about race. This is the only way he can win, to divide the populous. Haven't we seen this show?

Anyway, this is going to be nasty. Remember, to hang in there, we can win but only together.

Cindy McCain Can't Tell the Truth

The latest embellishments come from the McCain camp. Cindy McCain has repeatedly referred to herself as an “only child.” This week came news that she actually has two half sisters, although apparently she had very little contact with them.

The McCain campaign had also put out the story that Mother Teresa “convinced” Cindy to bring home two orphans from Bangladesh in 1991.

Mrs. McCain, it turns out, never met Mother Teresa on that trip. (Once contacted by the Monitor, the campaign revised the story on its website.)

Such exaggerations may simply be the product of a faulty memory or a desire to be “better” than one is in a political culture that requires larger-than-life idols. But with the advent of the fact-checking obsessed blogosphere – and a media racing to keep up – such self-aggrandizement doesn’t last as long as it once did.

“It’s all about myth-making,” says Darrell West, the director of governance studies at the Brookings Institution in Washington. “Politicians love to turn their stories into great epics, and sometimes they have to embellish to smooth out the story line.”

“But now there are too many professional and amateur fact-checkers,” he says. “And there are hundreds if not thousands of bloggers who have detailed knowledge on specialized information, so you really can’t get away with stretching the truth anymore.”
