As you know, we've been digging into the mystery of why McCain had an image of Walter Reed Middle School in the background during the first few minutes of his convention speech last night. A bunch of you have speculated that the intention was actually to use Walter Reed Medical Center but that someone goofed and pulled the school image instead. The school is right now being deluged by media requests, we're told. Meanwhile, here's ...

Here's his whole press conference responding to Palin's attacks today. Just watch: Great line at the end: "I've been called worse on the basketball court. It's not that big of a deal." Dismissive, contemptuous, and perpetually bemused by the new lows of buffoonery and pettiness that the GOP sinks to on a now-daily basis. Keep that tone going. Wouldn't hurt to have more surrogates out there throwing haymakers at the same time, though, would it?

As you know, despite earlier promises to the contrary, Sarah Palin is now refusing to cooperate with the trooper-gate investigation. Her lawyer now says she will refuse to be deposed unless the head of the current investigation relinquishes control and hands the investigation over to the state Personnel Board made up of three of Gov. Palin's appointees. We've been trying to see whether Palin's argument has any merit under Alaska law. And the former Alaska ...

The one moment that stays with me tonight, oddly enough, was not Palin's speech. It was a line from Giuliani, a New York mayor with a young second third wife and gay friends, mocking a "cosmopolitan" who was brought up by a single mother. It was that Barack Obama's rise could "only happen in America." And it was designed to mock him, the first African-American candidate for the presidency of the United States. I won't ...

It looks like the McCain camp is now actively taking steps to punish media outlets that give them bad coverage. Wolf Blitzer just reported that the campaign has cancelled a scheduled interview with Larry King due to an unfriendly segment last night on CNN -- the segment we flagged last night where the network's Campbell Brown grilled McCain spokesperson Tucker bounds over Sarah Palin's lack of foreign policy experience. Here's last night's segment: Blitzer said ...

I just saw McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds on CNN with a new line on Gov. Palin's foreign policy experience: McCain and Palin have more combined military command experience than Obama and Biden put together. (ed.note: We're actually getting a flood of emails from readers noting the whole interview in which CNN's Campbell Brown performed what amounted to a live vivisection of Bounds on live television. It was pretty rough.) Late Update: Okay, when we went ...

When asked about criticisms of Sarah Palin's readiness to serve as president, McCain responded: "If they want to go down that route, in all candor, she has far, far more experience than Senator Obama does." Set aside the bravado. Can McCain possibly believe that? And if he does, what are we supposed to think of his own fitness to serve? Sen. Obama is certainly new on the national scene. But he's serving his fourth year ...

Even Jonah Goldberg realizes the commander-in-chief of Alaska's National Guard line is "really lame" for the party of Eisenhower. But the "Alaska-Is-Close-To-Russia" argument by Cindy McCain. This is what the GOP's national security analysis now is! I mean: seriously, guys. Is this an episode of South Park? Enjoy:
