Ladies and gentlemen, your 2008 FAUX News election analysis team:

HEMMER: Is that a -- is that an honest moment, a moment of levity?

REIMAN: You know, the only thing that struck me as odd is, she's holding the beer with her left hand, and she's a righty. And if you think about how you would normally take a sip, it's a little bit awkward to drink with your nondominant hand, unless you have a reason to be doing that, you know?

HEMMER: Well, what would that reason be, then?

REIMAN: It could be anything. Maybe she's really just holding that cup to hold that cup, you know. Maybe she wants to give the appearance of being light and easy.

Cripes.

Of course, CNN isn't much better - Anderson Poochscrew has a post on the 360° blog about how nice Cindy McCain looks. As the comment I left there (which the moderator evidently didn't feel was as worthy of allowing, say, as comments slagging Michelle Obama) said, "Is this really any different than 'the candidate you'd most like to have a beer with'? See where THAT got us?".
