National-security issues, which McCain sees as one of his strongest points, may end up being his Achilles' heel. Already there is concern among his conservative friends that McCain may lack the disposition to command, showing an uncertain sense of purpose and outright bad political judgment.
"What's the first thing you would do as president?" the Detroit News recently asked McCain.
"The first thing I would do," the candidate answered, "is call in John Kerry, Bob Kerrey, Joe Biden, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Henry Kissinger, Dick Lugar, Chuck Hagel and several others and say we've got to get foreign-policy, national-security issues back on track."
That statement ricocheted through cyberspace, with Washington national-security experts wondering, "Is McCain nuts?" The formula doesn't compute:
1.) ... and this, mind you, is the same puffed-up addlepate of whom his partisans, hereabouts, ceaselessly chirrup the mantra of: "... but... but... national security, darn it!" God help and protect us all.
2.) Evenin'. ;)
The only thing that group could agree on is the LOST treaty and Shamnesty. Those are the super-RINOs. The only one missing is Arlen Specter.
