Discover GOP Opprobrium

[teapeebubbles]

Today's edition of quick hits:

* Obama and McCain put aside politics for a little while today, and visited Ground Zero together.

* Sarah Palin doesn't want to talk to CNN.

* She may, however, start doing real interviews next week.

* Remember those no-bid contracts in Iraq for six Western oil companies? The plan has been withdrawn.

* Olbermann, in a "Special Comment," slammed Republican exploitation of 9/11 last night.

* The "Gang of 10" on an energy compromise is poised to become the "Gang of 20."

* McCain aides love the revolving door.

* National Review's The Corner knew, at least initially, that the "lipstick on a pig" nonsense was a stupid, pointless story. And then, the Cornerites managed to convince themselves otherwise, writing 31 separate posts on the subject in less than 24 hours. Amazing.
