After a third example, Geraghty asks: "Which is worse -- that Democrats across the country are spontaneously choosing to cite McCain's military experience as a drawback or weakness, and a reason to not vote for him? Or that this is some sort of coordinated message effort?"

The man was a POW for 5 1/2 years. Is this politically astute?

Finally, an interesting backstory to the Karl Rove subpoena, via Politico's Crypt blog:

"In a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.), Karl Rove's attorney declines to make his client immediately available in response to a committee subpoena.

" 'Contrary to your letter of May 14, 2008,' begins Rove lawyer Robert Luskin, 'I do not misunderstand either the Committee's procedures or the scope of its interest in Mr. Rove; nor, in light of your reported remarks about the need for 'someone' to 'kick his ass,' am I the least bit confused about the Committee's motives and intentions.'

"After uttering the remarks to which Luskin refers -- first reported here in the Crypt -- Conyers suggested that he would use his authority to arrest Rove if he failed to comply with a subpoena and appear before the committee."

Sounds like someone's ready to rumble.
