Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...!
Ahem, sorry. It's never funny when a human life is endangered. The pedestrian is recovering nicely, though.
Welcome to the TR.
Forecast

When Pakistan's Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani visits the U.S. on Monday, watch nonprofits call for the administration to push for democratic reforms within the Pakistani leadership. Amnesty International pre-heated the oven this week with its call for the new government to disclose what has become of hundreds of "disappeared" citizens.

McCain's best shot at gaining some good media coverage is to name a running mate, preferably by next week. Ever since word leaked that his people were close to a choice, the blogosphere has been afire with speculation. Of course, the bounce will be better if Johnny Boy's team sells the strength of the selection with clear, compelling messages. But it may not be enough to drown out this kind of noise:

The Week That Was
The presidential campaign may be dominating news coverage, but it's not the public's main concern, according to the Pew Research Center for People and the Press. Any wild guesses as to where our real interests lie? Just as it was in 1992, It's the Economy, Stupid. While Obama and McCain are all up in our faces, what we're really following are Anheuser-Busch, IndyMac and General Motors.



Well it had to happen. Vanity Fair picked up where the New Yorker left off and inked a cover highlighting the least flattering aspects of McCain's public persona. Okay, we admit it. It bothers us not at all to see this "satirization" of the other side, because, unlike the New Yorker cover, this one is mostly true don'cha know.


And our favorite story of the week, which just goes to show how shallow we are: Bob Novak ran down a pedestrian, and only one block from TR Central! The Prince of Darkness says he didn't see the 86-year-old homeless man, much less know he had hit him. The columnist can't seem to see old, homeless people? Well, that certainly goes a long way in explaining how Bob Novak became Bob Novak.
Scorecard
As we predicted, Obama's handlers put the tightest possible controls on his trip abroad. With restricted press access, every photo became a hero pose. Or maybe it's not the photos at all and just the stars in our own eyes. The coup de grace was what we thought it would be, fair readers: an epic speech in Berlin. Ich Bin Ein Obama indeed.
Feedback
We guess we got the last word last week, since no one had anything to say back. Hopefully you'll do better this week.
Snark on!
