Blowhard News for Thursday.

Chuck Todd suggests Charlie Crist has a sham marriage.
Via Matt Yglesias, MSNBC pundits yesterday discussed potential running mates for John Mccain and whether there is a “glass ceiling” for unmarried individuals in politics. After Andrea Mitchell floated Gov. Charlie Crist (R-FL) as an example, Joe Scarborough noted that Crist is engaged. Chuck Todd suggested the engagement may be staged so Crist can be Vice President:
SCARBOROUGH: Did he get married? I thought he was engaged. Is he engaged or did he get married?

TODD: After Friday the engagement might be off if he’s not the running mate., right? … I don’t know!

Wolfson Rips Tweety And Olbermann

Greg Sargent reports:
On Fox News, Howard Wolfson unleashed a broad attack on MSNBC and its top on-air personalities, slamming the network's coverage of Bill and Hillary, hitting back at Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann for using his work for Fox to question his Democratic credentials, and blasting MSNBC as having been "taken over" by "antics." . . . "I'm not gonna take any lectures on how to be a good Democrat from two people who spent the last two years relentlessly attacking Bill and Hillary Clinton everyday," Wolfson said on the air moments ago, when asked by the Fox anchor to respond to some criticism of Wolfson on MSNBC yesterday.

Wolfson's decision to unload on MSNBC was triggered by some particularly barbed comments about Wolfson from Olbermann and Matthews yesterday. Matthews slammed Wolfson as Fox's "little toy soldier," while Olbermann joked that Wolfson is Fox's "Tokyo Rose."

Fiorina: McCain Has Always Shown ‘Respect’ Towards Hillary Clinton And All Women
In recent weeks, Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) campaign has showered praise on Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), in an effort to court female voters. Yesterday, Carly Fiorina said, “Hillary Clinton was not respected to the extent she had earned,” adding, “John McCain has long honored and respected Hillary Clinton.”
Interviewed on Fox News after Clinton’s speech, Fiorina said Clinton had been “dissed in the way that she was treated” and that McCain knows that women “expect to be respected”:

FIORINA: Women do feel that Hillary Clinton was dissed. Women feel that Hillary Clinton was dissed in the way that she was treated as she ran her campaign. Women feel she was dissed in not being seriously considered for the vice presidency. … And I think now women are very attuned to the fact that they expect to be respected. And John McCain will work for every single woman’s vote. And that is a sign of respect.
