"[W]e all ought to relax a little bit. It's, it's a bit of humor." -- Joe Lieberman on Meet the Press.
If you watched the Sunday talk shows today, one thing was clear: to John McCain, and his surrogates, this presidential campaign is all about 'aving a laugh.
Negative ads? Pshaw. We all need to lighten up. Questioning a Senator's patriotism? It's no big deal because we're having fun at the same time. Using troops as props? Who, us? We're just taking a piss. Subtly using race to brand a Senator as scary? Come on, playing on people's racism is so Jon Stewart. Lying to make these points? Please, don't focus on the negative. It's all about the fun.
Except it's not.
