Swapping spit with Claire McCaskill

Ewwww.....

McCaskill was stepping out of her chair at the end of an MSNBC interview, and Romney was up next. She and a staffer unplugged her various wires, and she handed Romney the earpiece the guests use to hear the host.

"I spit on this before I put it in," she said to Romney, with a sweet smile.

UPDATE: Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom emails: "You should have seen what she did to the chair."

Those rascally politicians.

How reliable is this Bob Smith guy? It just seems like a weird thing to do.

Good question. It's Ben Smith BTW. I don't know. I like Politico. Following Huffington it's my next favorite political blog. If it's wrong I would think it more likely a mistake than an intentional smear.

She's no Palin, but who is?
