Straight Talk Express: The Budget Edition

The lede from Josh Marshall on McCain's new numbers-free budget and the uncritical MSM:

I think we may have come to that moment, that quick turn of events, that encapsulates the fact that there is apparently no limit to the howlers and nonsense that John McCain can throw out and still not generate collective guffaws or even scrutiny from the national political press.

Josh goes on to explain that in McCain World, the budget will apparently magically balance itself as soon as we achieve victory in Afghanistan and Iraq. Which, when you think about it, sort of means that McCain has given himself at least a hundred years to get the job done, right?

Read the rest.
