So, what are the McCains hiding? Cindy McCain was asked about releasing her tax returns, on the Today show, and reiterated that she would never release them -- ever -- even if she becomes First Lady:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vZi6...
We're All Hacks Atrios is right
It's important to remember that none of us are above the fray, that we all have hackish tendencies to suppress information which doesn't fit our worldview and privilege information that does. We're more likely to excuse behavior from people we like and exaggerate the ills of people we don't like. I try to fight hackish tendencies especially during this intra-Dem battle, but I don't claim to have superhuman Nonhack powers.
For the record, I make no effort to be above the fray nor any pretense of being fair or balanced. I'm not only a member of the Hack Club for Men, I'm the president. It's good to know your own filters....
More hackery below.

Last night, at 6:30 p.m. in Chicago, these 82 Lutheran ministers put their careers on the line by announcing at the ELCA General Assembly that they are gay or lesbian and in loving, committed relationships.
And on Friday, the ELCA General Assembly will in essence vote if they are to lose their jobs. Actually, according to Lutherans Concerned, a couple of hundred ministers and seminarians have been removed because they are in same sex relationships in the past two years.

The ELCA And Homosexuality...6 Years And Counting
Sat Mar 17, 2007 at 05:48:06 PM PDT
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) has been since its founding in 1988, known by some as a "liberal" church body. This is not the case for everything, including one of the most devicisve issues in the church today.Liberal was applied due to such radical stances as ordaining women, not taking the Bible as completely literal, and reaching out to other church bodies in ecumenical dialogue. There was always and continues to be a divide, running along the churches that merged to form the body, on one side, those just to the left of the Missouri Synod (conservative) and those to the farther left, closer to (ECUSA or the UCC).
