Time's Jay Carney Gets Intimidated By McCain

This is what you get when you work the refs the way the McCain camp has - Jay Carney capitulates (probably the first of many):

Summary: In a Swampland blog post headlined "McCain's Legitimate Attack," Jay Carney wrote that unlike previous McCain campaign ads that included "false and distorted assaults" on Sen. Barack Obama, McCain's "new ad ... attacking Obama 'and his liberal allies' for failing to lead in the midst of the current financial markets crisis" is "entirely within bounds." In fact, the new McCain ad contains falsehoods about Obama's response to the current economic situation and his tax proposals.

Carney could not take the heat from the McCain campaign and folded. What a hack.

    That Media Matters takes issue with, McCain is right on one-  Obama will raise your taxes, fantasies of a middle class tax cut notwithstanding.  But so will McCain, despite his own claims to the contrary.

    As for the other, well, Obama has done what he always does-  spout some high-minded "principles" that he ignores later (as in his quasi-endorsement of the Paulson Plan on GMA this morning.)
