Marc Ambinder's Voice of Doom
Friday, May 9, 2008

Obama inadvertently said he'd visited 57 states this election, and Marc Ambinder had this to say:

But if John McCain did this -- if he mistakenly said he'd visited 57 states -- the media would be all up in his grill, accusing him of a senior moment. Just saying....

So, McCain confused Sunnis and Shiites several times, and members of the media climbed all over each other to explain it away. But if he accidentally turns a 4 into a 5, then they'll make a big deal out of it? One of two things is true here:

1. When Ambinder said "the media would be all up in his grill", he meant that they would be there just to feed him more donuts;
-or-
2. Our national media has its priorities bizarrely out of whack.

Either one of these options bodes ill for this election.
