In case McCain's faux-calm debate performance fooled you into thinking he's running an issues campaign, here's Keith Olbermann from Monday night to remind you what McShame/Failin' are really all about.

The Rude Pundit on what Obama should say to McCain tonight.
X-rated, but here's a censored taste:
"I faced down Bill and Hillary Clinton, Johnny Mac. They pulled all that shit on me. They raped and beat me like new prison meat. Do you honestly think that your gimpy ass and that dimwitted attack c**t with you are gonna lay a hand on me?
Because it's not what happened at the debate (apparently a tie), it's what people think happened at the debate. Looks like Biden gave the Democratic ticket the advantage.

Why let ABC, or whomever, dictate who the moderator(s) will be? Charlie Gibson is apparently godawful, as this brief of question subjects shows, or Josh Marshall’s full rundown of inane questions, followed up by answers that are genuinely befuddled to the most inane of them (like trying to get both Clinton and Obama to take the Mario Cuomo “pledge” of agreeing to nominate the other one as his/her running mate), or politically spinning to others of them.
I mean, this is the day of not just the Internet, but of many people having broadband connections.
Josh suggests using the League of Women Voters.
Why not go one better? Have Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean pick a moderator and produce the whole thing in house? If a TV network wants to run it, fine; if not, stream it live on the Internet.
I mean, there’s no need to put up with a Charlie Gibson, or a Tim Russert, in these days.
According to Media Matters, tonight’s debate is not the first example of Gibson’s debate-moderating inanity.
