WHAT?!?!?!

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

From the notoriously not left wing Politico:

The GOP's 2008 nominee is...Eldon Smith?

It turns out that this isn't the first time the issue of John McCain's lavish multiple residences has emerged in the heat of a campaign.

In 1986, when then-Rep. McCain was running for the Senate seat vacated by Barry Goldwater, he quietly began remodeling a $500,000 house in central Phoenix owned by his wealthy father-in-law James Hensley. The $225,000 project -- which included the construction of a 4,000-square-foot addition, swimming pool, jacuzzi, cabana and barbecue -- held political peril for McCain, who was already fighting charges that he was as an opportunistic carpertbagger.

The new house was located in Phoenix's fourth congressional district -- outside of the first district in Tempe which he represented at the time.

AP caught wind of the work at 7110 North Central Ave. shortly before the general election and dispatched a reporter to examine blueprints at the planning department. They found the permit applicants were listed as Hensley and a mysterious "Mr. Smith."

The reporter tracked down McCain's plumber, who told him he'd been told Mr. Smith's first name was "Eldon." Eldon Smith, it turned out, was John McCain.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. Let's see if this gets any traction in the traditional corporate media. My guess is that it will get none at all, or almost none.

By all rights, this election should now be over. But it isn't. The media will scrutinize Obama's every move, and hold More-of-the-same McCain's balls for him while he walks.

Do something.
