The Scranton, Pa., newspaper is reporting that the Secret Service is investigating the "Kill him!" incident from a Palin appearance in that town where someone yelled the foregoing interjection at the mention of Obama's name.
That's not really a surprise. The Secret Service checks out everything, including, in 1996, an innocent joke another journalist made to me at a bar. But I'm glad to see they're on it.
And it makes me think. It seems certain that John McCain is going to try to mention Ayers and Obama's "radical connections" tonight. I would hope, in the interest of balance, that moderator Bob Schieffer confronts McCain with a question about some of these eruptions from his campaign stops. That will give McCain an opportunity to shoot that nastiness down. Be interesting to see if he takes it if offered.
