ST. PAUL, Minn. - John McCain’s campaign on Wednesday angrily called for an end to questions about its review of Sarah Palin’s background, deriding a “faux media scandal designed to destroy the first female Republican nominee” for vice president.

“This nonsense is over,” declared senior campaign adviser Steve Schmidt in a written statement.

The statement stood out for its admission that Palin is under siege — it condemns “this vetting controversy” — and for its attempt to blunt questions about how rigorously McCain and his campaign explored the background of a candidate who may get the nation’s second most powerful job. It also suggested that Palin is a victim of gender bias in the media.

Yet the McCain campaign doesn't mention it's own faux media scandal designed to destroy the first African American presidential candidate from any party.

It would be funny if it weren't obvious that McCain has played the race card by not denouncing Jerome Corsi's vile book "Obama Nation."

Th old white guy lost my vote.
