More cool hypocrisy

Here's a Bloomerg News report, quoting McCain campaign manager Steve Schmidt on how poor John is getting some bad press:

" `It used to be that a lot of those smears and the crap on the Internet stayed out of the newsrooms of serious journalists,' Schmidt said at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota."

He could have said "It used to be that a lot of those smears and the crap on the Internet stayed out of the newsrooms of serious journalists until we Republicans encouraged it against any Democrat anywhere in the country."

But he didn't.
