Ed Schultz called McCain a nasty name. 

Barack Obama initially thanked Schultz for his comments, but when pressured did like he always does and pretended not to be in the room to hear it.

Hillary Clinton lied about a pregnant woman’s death:

Hillary Clinton is honoring an Ohio hospital’s request that she stop retelling the tragic story of an uninsured pregnant woman who died after being denied care, after the hospital referenced in the story disputed the account.

Clinton noticeably dropped the story from her stump speech Saturday in Hillsboro, Ore. Since late February, she had weaved into her speeches the description of an uninsured pizza parlor employee who died after she couldn’t afford $100 to get treatment. . . .

Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee acknowledged that the campaign had tried but hadn’t been able to “fully vet” the story before she began repeating it on the campaign trail. Clinton said she learned of the woman from a deputy sheriff whose home she visited while campaigning in Ohio. She told the story as recently as late Friday, at a rally in Grand Forks, N.D.

All of this brought to North Dakota by a political organization which gets 80% of its funding from people who don’t live in North Dakota, and likely haven’t ever even visited the state.

The Democrats may have drawn a crowd in Grand Forks this weekend, but then car wrecks draw crowds too.
