That look on Donald Trumps face is worth a million gold plated midtown office towers. Thats worth the price of whatever empathetic impulse you have toward your fellow human being donald trump. Whatever price you pay in empathetic shame just for the pleasure of seeing his actual shame at having that issue resolved that way on national tv. You do not have to dislike donald trump as a person to be satisfied with seeing this lie of this unraveled. Right . I mean because it is a kind of lie implicitly to make it seem in one moment like youre the guy who would be super tough on china, in business terms and economic terms. Youre the guy who would stop china from ripping americas heart out while youre the guy who is making his selfbranded neckwear in china. That is a kind of lie. In some circles you might refer to that sort of moral pretzeling as hypocrisy. If you want to speak more bluntly and spare more syllables it is a kind of lie to portray yourself as bravely standing up for some particu

We want to begin with that story what is being described as a super storm headed up the east coast, Hurricane Sandy was downgraded to a Tropical Storm this morning, but it remains sandy is expected to soon combine with two other major storm systems and then increase in strength. Right now its 350 miles off of charleston, South Carolina. Sandy ripped across the caribbean causing heavy damage in jamaica, haiti and cuba before moving over the bahamas. At least 40 people 40 people are dead in its wake. No one can be certain how powerful it will become but the signs are ominous to say the least. Lets get the latest from Mark Strassman who is in Virginia Beach, virginia. Good morning to you, mark. Reporter good morning. We have seen winds pick up overnight, no rain yet but you can see around me wind have picked up. Loc
But is expected to strengthen into a hurricane by tomorrow night. The National Weather Service Warns that widespread impacts are going to happen. Right now i am joined by richard kim, my colleague at the nation magazine. Anna marie cox. The u. S. Version of the guardian. George pack ner, staff writer for the new yorker and author of a fascinating story in next weeks issue about a former lobbyist who has become disillusioned. A we are ten days away from the president ial election.

Obviously most out over the water but included in that northeastern South Carolina, the east coast of North Carolina, and eventually those will be extended up into virginia and new jersey as well.

So this is a massive storm, a category one hurricane. And just notice the outer rain bands starting to move into North Carolina still affecting the beaches of South Carolina.

No it isnt but they are moving toward consensus where the American People are at. They are both pro israel, going to stand beside them. Both very hawkish toward iran, although they dont want war in the middle east again. They dont want boots on the ground. They both say we have to do nation building here at home because that is the consensus where the American People are at john. But i wouldnt call it bipartisanship. Romney lost this debate on points but he won it because he contradicted the image bara
