Class or Desperation?

McCain rejects Obama attack on immigration

"McCain rejected the organizers' attempts to cut off audience questioning of him, at one point tossing his microphone to a man so he could pose his query."

Sign of desperation in the face of inevitable failure or daring act of democratic compassion?

Hard to judge without video. Compassionate act in a comically desperate situation perhaps? Too easy to criticize/praise?

There's an article in the Times today about how much harder it is to make jokes about Obama than any other modern candidate. Good thing or bad thing?

Obama not funny?

“There’s been this question about whether he’s black enough,” Mr. Maher said. “I have this joke: What does he have to do? Dunk? He bowled a 37 — to me, that’s black enough.”

I'll always have a soft spot for Bill Maher.
