How weird can things get?

Apparently, owning Wal-Mart stock is now a taboo for liberal politicians.

Putting an opponent in blackface is fine, though, if you do it through a blogger who's a volunteer for your campaign and then pretend you don't know her. Can you say "plausible deniability"? Maybe it's unfair for everything your supporters do to stick to you, but when they're highly visible and involved supporters it does. The kind of people you attract is often a measure of what you stand for.
