Rainey rants about McCain campaign

Hardly the neutral arbiter he holds himself out to be, LAT columnist James Rainey yesterday blasted the McCain campaign for playing politics. He's upset about some McCain commercials that he claims misrepresent things Obama has said or done. Rainey, for example, looks into Obama's heart and judges that Obama wasn't referring to Sarah Palin when he made the famous "lipstick on a pig" remark. McCain, therefore, is disrespecting Obama and Rainey when he or his campaign suggests the opposite. Rainey knows in his heart who is right about this.

To be fair, Rainey says that Obama has played politics too with things McCain or Palin have said or done but he isn't upset about that, only about the pot shots McCain's campaign has taken. Boys will be boys ... er, campaigns will be campaigns, he seems to say, so let's let the Obama campaign stuff pass and chastise McCain/Palin instead. It shows he's unbiased, don't you know -- Rainey, that is.
