McCain campaign baits Obama on Clinton slurs
It's hard to believe the faux outrage at sexism after McCain chuckled at the B-word, but Obama has to discourage Kennedy-style disrespect for Clinton as the battle winds down.

    to add to the list of words or phrases I never want to hear ever again after this primary:

    "surrogate"

    along with "vetted", "parsed" and "thrown under the bus"

    I'm thinking that Kennedy was musing not as "Senator who has endorsed Obama" but rather as "Senator Kennedy, the 'liberal lion' of the Senate"...ya know, just speaking his mind.

    but as long as we're talking 'bout respect here, shouldn't we show at least a smidge of respect for Kennedy, the staunch liberal who has been in the Senate since 1962? How about we let the "elder statesman" muse away?

    cheers
