And I have wondered about any and all comments which are 1) obviously unsubstantiated i.e. no footnotes, 2) all over the place in terms of logical argument, 3) clearly doctored or deliberately mis-quotes.

What happened to journalism? Donno. But I suspect money and clout and status. I want McCain held accountable for what he says. And I am a nobody so what I want disappears. Never the less -- I keep sending emails!
