Stupid is better than evil

Why I take three Zolfts and four jiggers of red whiskey when I wake up!

Just one of the many reasons we hate John McCain is for his raw stupidity in allowing himself to be used by democrats.  You may remember that he was feted by the left during his try for the 2000 nomination.  John McCain, maverick for truth.  Bush dirty tricks, blah-blah-blah.  During the Republican National Convention that year, the left held a Shadow Convention, and McCain was extended an invitation to participate. He freaking accepted! They booed the crap out of him when he reached the podium. Even after all that, he apparently failed to grasp the truth; he'd been used as a pawn and was no longer useful as the left's idiot. Until 2008. That's what I remembered when I saw last night's Drudge banner .... NOW THAT HE'S SECURED NOMINATION: NYT DOWNLOADS ON MCCAIN Mark Finkelstein has the story.  McCain's pawn utility is over, and the New York Times wastes no time announcing, "We're in the bag for Obama!" “ Don't want to take NB's word about the NYT's liberal bias affecting its news coverage? Here's James Kirchick, Assistant Editor of the liberal New Republic, writing in NR's "Plank" blog last night about the New York Times McCain article [emphasis added]: What Story? So here's the essence of the Times' 3,000-word "bombshell" on John McCain. John Weaver, whom McCain fired last summer (identified in the Times piece as "now an informal campaign adviser" to McCain, which sounds like a puffed-up euphemism for "unemployed") says that 8 years ago, he and two other former employees who have since "become disillusioned" (read: disgruntled), suspected that McCain was having an affair with a lobbyist. The rest of the article, rehashing old news about the Keating Five, is, as Rich Lowry says, complete "window dressing." If you had been wondering whether the Times was in the tank for Obama, well, here's your answer. ” The Times endorsed him. Which is why "I love my country more than I hate McCain"  is operative. If Obama is selected to play America's Nero, our choices are to watch our country burn, or resort to THIS.
