Still more terrorist mail
Ben Smith's Blog —
Jonathan Martin posts another RNC mailer, this one of a plane bearing down on an airport.
It in Virginia and, apparently, Missouri, where McCain was handed it by KSDK, and said he was "absolutely" proud of it, according to the clip below, sent over by a Democrat.
