Who cares that it made the United States of America look thuggish and ignorant and petty in the eyes of any thinking person in the Middle East?

Yes, the ones we recently saw being so thuggishly defended by Michael Goldfarb.
Less thuggishly, but no less pettily, McCain spokesperson Ben Porritt recently had a tough time untangling himself from Palin's suggestion, on a conservative talk radio show, that her First Amendment rights were being infringed by press criticism:
The McPalin campaign is becoming so reliably entertaining that I'm almost disappointed that the campaign is over tomorrow.
Almost.
