      The Bromance of Mac & Graham

      (Newser) - “While most politicians collect allies, McCain collects followers,” Eve Fairbanks writes in the New Republic , and there’s no better example than Sen. Lindsey Graham, McCain’s “sidekick” and foil in the nation's most prominent “bromance.” McCain’s top stump surrogate is no stranger to the costs of McCain’s friendship: non-stop travel and speaking schedules, being the butt of fraternal jibing, and tolerating his idiosyncratic obsessions ... like, er, birdwatching.

      Morning Talk Shows Abuzz With Palin Pick

      (Newser) - Sarah Palin ruled the political morning shows today at the expense of Barack Obama's historic speech last week, Politico reports: John McCain rebuked criticisms that Palin was unqualified to be "a heartbeat away" from the presidency. “She’s been commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard," he said on Fox News Sunday . "She’s had judgment on these issues." On This Week and Meet the Press , Republicans Sen. Lindsey Graham and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty chimed in that Palin has been "in charge of the National Guard" and a "commander in chief." More »

      New McCain Attack: Obama Wants to Lose War

      (Newser) - John McCain’s inner circle tried a new line of attack against Barack Obama today, charging that the presumptive Democratic nominee and his entire party want to lose the Iraq war to serve their own political purposes.

      CIA Gave Pentagon Torture Tips

      (Newser) - The CIA gave the Pentagon advice about the legality of harsh interrogation techniques to be used on detainees at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere, the Washington Post reports. Documents shown to a Senate committee yesterday reveal that the agency had a bigger role than first thought. Torture is "subject to perception,"a CIA lawyer told officials at a 2002 meeting. "If the detainee dies, you're doing it wrong." More »

      Lindsey Graham, McCain's 'Mini-Me'

      (Newser) - Sen. Lindsey Graham must be getting something special from his friendship with John McCain, Politico writes, because he's willing to be dubbed Mac’s “mini-me” in the press—and called “little jerk” by the candidate himself. Of course, it's worth it for the first-term South Carolina Republican, who gets a spot in the sun—and what one colleague calls “almost a father-son relationship.” More »

      General's Anti-War Turn Thrills Dems

      (Newser) - Nancy Pelosi has made one of her strangest alliances yet with ousted Iraq commander Ricardo Sanchez, and their bring-the-troops-home alliance thrills Democratic leaders but baffles others, the Washington Post reports. Sanchez, forced to retire over the Abu Ghraib scandal, delivered last weekend’s Democratic radio address and blasted President Bush’s "failure to devise a strategy for victory in Iraq." More »

      GOP Senators Kill Dem Iraq Withdrawal Bill

      (Newser) - Senate Republicans today blocked a bill that would have funded the Iraq war and set a withdrawal deadline of December 15, 2008. The legislation cleared the House but received only 53 of 60 needed votes in the Senate. "It's telling our soldiers, you're losers, when they're winners. So we're going to defeat it, now and forever," said Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. More »
