Glad you mentioned the elephant in the room of the green TPM backdrop if you were going to talk about McCain's. Otherwise one might exclaim, who irons the ironists??

Another elephant in the room over the past several days, is that it's hard to keep your mind on muck and high-minded issues when the language is sexually oriented, and the anchor is stunning and never before seen. It's beside the point, I KNOW! And the core of the story is egregious government behavior which destroyed people, which means having your mind elsewhere is somewhere in the ballpark of Seinfeld making out during Schindler's List.

Print blogging is a great equalizer, with few distractions from taking a story on its merits. But TV, arrrgghhhhhhh. There, I said it!
