Matt Welch painstakingly documents the fact that the John McCain newspaper endorsements flowing out from around the country keep making elementary factual errors. It's really aggravating stuff. It would be one thing if people were saying "I support John McCain because I want to see a candidate with hazy ideas about domestic policy issues and a steadfast record of support for preventive war." But instead the papers are all endorsing some other guy who never lies, always sticks to his guns, and at times is even an Iraq skeptic.

But He Talks So Straight

I want to see someone ask the alleged Straight Talker, Mr. Integrity, about Lincoln Savings and Loan and Charles Keating.
Just keep playing that "100 years in Iraq" bit over and over until it sinks in that the man is senile.
"But instead the papers are all endorsing some other guy who never lies, always sticks to his guns, and at times is even an Iraq skeptic."
I think Kripke handled that. If someone else did all the things we ordinarily associate with Aristotle, the name "Aristotle" would still refer to Aristotle.
Actually if you took care to read his speeches, and didn't just rely on sound bites, you would find the little bit of endorsement coming from a largely pro-romney tv networks a credit, which it is, to a very fine person in john mccain, who has had to slog it through to keep a realistic foreign policy for the long term safety and benefit of us all wheras the above comments merely fit in with the now discredited and failed neocon swill. you sound jealous of someone more viruous than yourselves. Guilty consciences?
Like I said, "100 years in Iraq" isn't a realistic foreign policy, it's a senile raving.
You can only utter a statement like that if you're in advanced senility or on DMT or ketamine - and I assume McCain doesn't use drugs (other than whatever his doctors keep him medicated with.)

The words look like English — well, most of them — but not the whole message. What's the verb in that sentence? Please rephrase your comment, because I really didn't understand.

Heads in the Sand
Ah, the mesmerizing power of John Wayne McCain. Time to throw down with Andrew Sullivan over his eternal man-crush. Do it now, do it, do it, do it!
