McCain's base goes to work

Could the media employ more suck-ups to the Maverick? It's like Richard Cohen is reporting:

McCain adviser may have struck a nerve
Candidate distances himself from terror comment, but does it ring true?

Ah delightful packaging in Maverick-sized nuggets.

And who writes this d-e-l-i-g-h-t-f-u-l tripe?

Why Anne Korblut and Jonathan Weisman of course!

This Jonathan Weisman on Barack Obama:

He really did not become immersed in black American culture until he left college and went to Chicago. The great irony is that he is much more white than black, beyond skin color.

Oh, how quaint.

And this Anne Korblut

During a June 2006 appearance on Meet the Press, New York Times reporter Anne Kornblut claimed that the Democrats were "bracing incredibly for the Karl Rove cut-and-run accusation."

Of course, that "cut-and-run accusation" came and failed spectacularly, as the American people overwhelmingly disapprove of the Iraq war and the Republicans' handling of it.

Yet Kornblut continues to insist that Democrats must be wary of being given the "cut-and-run" label. During a January 4 appearance on MSNBC's Scarborough Country, she declared, "I think the biggest nightmare for some of the Democrats in the Senate would be a Democratic Party that looks as though it just wants to, from -- the words from 2004 -- 'cut and run.'
