Quote:
McCain's campaign manager, Steve Schmidt, yesterday lashed out at what he deemed "offensive" and "demeaning" coverage and questions from reporters after McCain's running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, confirmed her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant.
"It used to be that a lot of those smears and the crap on the Internet stayed out of the newsrooms of serious journalists," Schmidt said at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.

What's he talking about? When did politicians and media not smear rival campaigns with anything and everything they could dig up?
