Frank Capra was aware of such tactics and showed the media for what it was in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington.

How about showing some disabled photos of JFK or FDR for yucks?

Okay, but why did McCain have his tongue out so far?

We could all email the photo of obama with a cigarette. (Sorry, I don’t know how to include pictures in my posts but you know which one I mean.)

Sure. We could. Except that that foto is photoshopped and McCain's tongue is real.

Seriously, can he not keep his tongue in his mouth while on stage? Thank the Lord he didn't go digging for nose-gold.

Beyond the tongue, the man’s arms were broken in a communist prison camp.

And people are making “grab ass” jokes about this veteran.

Maybe it's too late to rethink it now, but I question McCain's decision to hire Jim Carey as his image consultant...

Geez, weegee - I've neglected the old Media ping lists because it's like working in a pinata factory this political season - my arms would get too tired having to post a Media Shenanigans or Schadenfreude every third article. ;-)

Thanks for the ping!

Terrible, but to be expected. The Disney Media Candidate must reign.

I think the elderly voters are going to think of this as very disrespectful.

I hope they take their ire out on Obama and his buddies in the press on Election Day.

Liberals have absolutely no sense of humor when it comes to themselves...
