Excitable Andy is upset with John McCain for saying that “it’s very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States,” though a top Hamas official has publicly endorsed Obama: My response is simply that honorable campaigns do not allow foreign agents, especially terrorist organizations, to insert themselves into American presidential politics. No respectable foreign governments do such a thing; and the gambits of al Qaeda,

Dems 2008: The Obama (dis-)organization in PA [Karl]
Ben Smith has a post up at the Politico, reprinting an e-mailed after-action report on the Pennsylvania primary by Obama backer Dan Wofford (son of former US Senator Harris Wofford (D-PA)), which leads with his comments on the impact of Obama’s “clingy” kerfuffle and poor debate performance.

Skin Deep? [Dan Collins]

Getting to Know Him [Dan Collins]
Dave Winer (the “h” is invisible) comments on the aftermath of the unctuous handjob Bill Moyers gave Jeremiah Wright, wondering why it’s so quiet, and stating that he’d expected to find much more on the order of Karl’s piece posted on the tubes: The most I could find was this post on Protein Wisdom saying that Moyers didn’t play hardball with Wright. It’s true, he didn’t. Instead he did what
On "smears," McCarthyism, Barry O, and Black Liberation Theology
Karl’s post earlier today on Bill Moyers’ execrable (and predictable) attempt to rehabilitate Barack Obama by way of softening the edges on one of his more notorious cultural proxies has brought out a number of Obamateers, several of whom are clearly first time readers of this site. Among the most courteous of these is a fellow named Jack Foster, who makes a number of claims worth responding to. First, Jack
Mecca-Mystic Universe [Dan Collins]
David Thompson explains the kosmos to nishi: Further to Dr Abd al-Baset al-Sayyed’s call for the global adoption of “Mecca Time†– and the shocking discovery that “in Mecca there is no magnetic force†– here’s another nugget. In this clip from Saudi Arabia’s al-Majd TV, first broadcast in January 2005, Dr al-Sayyed shares the extraordinary news that people living in Mecca are “less affected by gravity.†No less remarkable
Joke On Us, Some? [Dan Collins]
After Karl’s epic destruction of Bill Moyers’ whitelibwash of the Reverend Wright, I hesitate to bring this up, but here’s Joe Conason in Salon:
