To write like your average NY Times columnist you'd have to plagiarize much of your article, and I don't think he did that...so much better.
I think Joe did an excellent job on this. John McCains achievements as an American cannot be dismissed. His love of country is real. Somewhere along the way though, he failed to remember what he’d been fighting for.
I have said before, McCain deserves our respect in many ways. It is for that reason which we must send an old man into retirement with the dignity he’s earned, not the politics he’s played. There is evidence, despite the fact that I voted for him in 08, that he’s off the reservation on some really key issues.
As much as I think that he believes he is doing whats best for America, I more strongly believe that Joe is correct. Washington has changed McCain, and not for the better. Not for into man he should be, but into the man Washington thinks he should be.
Well John McCain. Cocktail parties be damned. You can enjoy them when your out of the path of fame and soundbites. If Hayworth beats you, its not because we don’t respect you. It’s because we’re trying to save what’s left of your pride.
Mark!
