ROGER KIMBALL: Give the Pig Thing a Rest. And reader Gary Lamontagne writes:

Look, I’m not voting for Obama in any universe, but I just can’t believe the guy would make that kind of statement or insinuation regarding McCain and Palin. I mean, at the height of the Democratic Palin frenzy after her announcement, wasn’t he the voice of reason? Didn’t he say in his convention speech something to the effect “John McCain loves this country…” as a show of respect?

I’m sure it won’t happen, but wouldn’t it be nice if McCain had instead a) ignored the remarks, or b) basically made a statement that he did not interpret the remarks as offensive and the matter should be
dropped.

I know the race is close, but, man another 60 or so days of THIS?? How many hours is that…

It’ll get worse before it gets better, or I miss my guess.
