Hooray! An actual newspaper uses the "L" word

And in Florida, no less.

From the St. Petersburg Times in tomorrow's paper:
Campaign of lies disgraces McCain

McCain's straight talk has become a toxic mix of lies and double-speak. It is leaving a permanent stain on his reputation for integrity, and it is a short-term strategy that eventually will backfire with the very types of independent-thinking voters that were so attracted to him.

[snip]

McCain's faux chivalrous outrage over Obama's purported insult is beneath him. He has been a serious public servant willing to say unpopular truths when he thought it best for the country, but he's more than willing in this election to put his name on campaign lies. The leader who says he would rather lose an election than lose a war now risks losing his reputation in an attempt to win the White House.


Risks? McCain's reputation should be just about nonexistent by now, were it not for the barbecue ribs he used to bribe reporters into covering him favorably.
