So now it’s Brokaw’s fault?

Reading the info in Byron’s post, I feel like I live in an alternative universe. Obama’s people are mocking McCain for taking a shot at Obama, and McCain’s response is … to assure Obama that he meant no disrespect? Sheesh.

Folks, forget about all this policy wonkery. McCain’s policies have driven us crazy for years. The thought that he’s going to win this thing on policy is foolish. I mean, now, Fan, Fred and $800 billion later, his great idea is to spend a few hundred bill more to buy the bad mortgages? Really gets the juices flowing, doesn’t it?

McCain’s only shot is/was to show that Obama cannot be trusted with the presidency. If Obama is plausible, McCain loses. And McCain, unfailingly, treats Obama as if he is totally plausible. Ballgame.
