Cindy McCain must release her tax returns. Michelle is unfairly being accused of hating America. No one's accusing Cindy of being deposited on earth by "The Phoenix Lights" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhAQrR8Jhkk) and demanding a special counsel investigation. All Cindy needs to do is what every other potential first lady has ever done in the history of the Republic.

How many drunk driving deaths is the beer distributing heiress McCain responsible for? Her blood money private jet is funding her husband's campaign with those free flights, and sunshine needs to illuminate those tax returns.

And what about beer distributors? They are an awful antiquated middleman created by government that need to be cut out.

Darn Repub, I think you have a point here. As an Obama supporter and a feminist, I would have appreciated hearing Michelle stand up for herself. I understand the need for Barack to call out the Repub attack machine, but still--it's 2008, Hillary's chewing the scenery, and Michell's a strong, intelligent woman. Because this snippet will never die, she'll probably have to come up with a good response to block with on the campaign trail.

Lets see then, I guess that means Cindy McCain's prior acts of theft of narcotics from the non-profit she created (which bought narcotics for poor folks) is all fair game, as well as the wonderful character she showed in her role of playing adulteress while McCain was still married to his prior wife. Oh yes, and then there was her firing of the subordinate who discovered she was stealing narcotics. Cindy is clearly a proud upstanding american. Thief, adultress, drug addict and retaliatory boss all roled up into one.

I didn't say that Cindy McCain should be immune from questioning. She definitely should release her taxes.

I'm talking about the Democratic nominee's spouse--obviously there's a higher standard here. What--do we want our candidate's spouse to play like a Republican wife? I don't.

Yes, and the candidates should be selected strictly on their merits. Let's be real--how would this actually play out in an election? How handicapped would a male candidate be if his wife refused to speak to the press?

Now, granted, usually the spouses can get away with lightweight, celebrity-style appearances. However, Michelle Obama, like Cindy McCain, is already an actor on the public stage and the press will talk about her. Should she act coy and refuse to speak for herself?

Why use slang, Kanne? Why use words like "mamma," "gonna," "get all bad" and "be all scared" when Obama clearly does not speak that way? Why not try to match his eloquence and maturity instead of resorting to the linguistic equivalent of blackface?

I think Obama made an effective but mainstream response to an attack. He looked and sounded pretty calm. Don't make me swear at you, DR!

Well DR, if you really are a Republican instead of just another anti-Obama hack, why not base your comments on the traditions of your party? David Broder lamented the treatment received by the Office of the President from Bill Clinton, famously saying the Clintons came to Washington DC and "trashed the place", including their casual attitude toward Presidential formality and Hillary Clinton's move away from the traditional First Lady role. That tradition includes the courtesy paid to the families of the candidates within the discourse of the campaign, however rough it may be.

From your comment, "remember in war, you're not worried about how you hit the enemy... just that you hit them, and hit them hard" I can assume you're really just a partisan and happen to be 'against' either the Democrats and/or Obama. If you really are a Republican, then try and be a little more rational in your comments about a candidate who would like to 'conserve' your own party's traditions in relation to the office.

While you're at it, why do you hate America? You really consider this election a war and can legitimize whatever you need to do to win? Have you ever taken the Pledge of Allegiance... you know... "one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"? Or are those just vapid words meant for sporting events to you?

Sorry, I didn't mean to take one sentence from your many blog replies and make cake... how does it taste?

Funny how today a TN Repub Sen - said it's a stupid and ridiculous attack - get on the same page.

Stop feeding the idiot troll.
