7 Monster Mash

That, and other news, in today's Political Panorama.

Continuing on the theme of how caustic things have gotten: Obama adviser Samantha Power resigns after she's quoted calling Hillary Clinton a "monster."

Fatigue: Reporters are getting weary on the trail, reports the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz. What was once an adrenaline-fueled enthusiasm for the bitter primary season has now turned to, when will it end?

Kurtz quotes Time's Ana Marie Cox: "I have an irrational hatred of Ohio," says Cox, the Time reporter and blogger, reached while shopping for a vitamin booster at Trader Joe's. "They didn't do anything but prolong the agony."

"SNL" Bias?: Helena Andrews raises the question in The Politico. On Huffington Post, former "SNL" writer Adam McKay follows up on a post yesterday, in which he came under some criticism for suggesting that there was an agenda at play. "I also stand by the idea that in the case of SNL it's worth remembering that someone with their own POV is writing that stuff. People think because it's comedy it's benign and reactive, like the Hannah Montana craze. But with political comedy there's always a choice being made by someone, even if it's a scene where Hillary announces that in an attempt to gain the critical "I'll do whatever my kids want because it's not worth the hassle of arguing with them" vote her running mate is Miley Cyrus."
