McCain Manages to Madden Michelle Malkin

Michelle Malkin has been a consistent cheerleader for the McCain/Palin campaign, but it appears that even she has had enough: I can’t underscore enough what a rotten idea John McCain’s ACORN-like government mortgage buy-up is. … We’re Screwed ‘08.

Don’t they know we have it recorded?

One of the things I really love is how the Internet has changed politics, but some people haven’t received the memo.
