Mark Steyn ping. Steyn has had some interesting things to say about the McCain/Trump kerfuffle and in this one:

http://www.steynonline.com/7060/gunfire-at-the-cold-call-corral

has an interesting tidbit about the Clinton campaign and makes some other interesting points.

Freepmail me, if you want on or off the Mark Steyn ping list.

Thanks for the heads up EveningStar.

Here is the money quote:

"Forty years ago, John McCain was a war hero. Since then he's mostly been an asshole."

Wouldn’t that be a hoot? Mark Steyn or Judge Jeanine as Press Secretary would be priceless.

It's an odd sort of war hero who picks on little girls.

One more reason Mark Steyn has earned the reputation of being a good man... totally admirable..

So, when the Republican establishment spends two news cycles huffing about the amour propre of a wealthy career politician, they're only reinforcing Trump's critique: that the GOP is a party of "losers" and "failures" obsessed with peripheral trivia nobody else cares about, while ignoring everything that's killing your future.

Bang!! Steyn nails it right here.

It is because McCain isn’t a conservative.

Very true. Neither is Trump.

The problem is that some people took Trump’s words and then made a hasty generalization.

Trump made the generalization: "I like people who didn't get caught."

Not that I want to spend any time defending McCain, of all people.

Mark Steyn ping.

Thanks. I wouldn't want to have missed this one.

We are cursed, as the Chinese say, to live in "interesting times"...

Nice of Mark to remember me.

This may be the best of several fine lines:

A citizenry that votes for an asshole is less deluded than one that votes for a messiah.
