McCain: the “Reformed Maverick”

I’m aware that I’m posting repeatedly to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.   I will continue to do so as long as they make the obvious points that the corporate media is choking on.

Along these same lines, consider Frank Rich’s article in the NYT, where Rich documents McCains sellout.   He also takes a major swipe at McCain’s lack of considered judgment:

“The McCain campaign’s claims of a “full vetting process” for Palin were as much a lie as the biographical details they’ve invented for her.”

“His speed-dating of Palin reaffirmed a more dangerous personality tic that has dogged his entire career. His decision-making process is impetuous and, in its Bush-like preference for gut instinct over facts, potentially reckless.”

    I wonder why Jon didn't mention Mccain's 180 on torture? Of all thing that would be personal or relevant to a POW (!)

    I mean jeebus, I wouldn't let a pow walk my dog without keeping a close eye on him. Guess it was just a matter of time before he snapped. Manchurian success.
