John McCain: Wanting the White House in the worst way
article by Joe Conason - For many of the journalists who regard John McCain as an unusually honorable politician, listening to his increasingly dishonorable campaign rhetoric is a painful and puzzling experience. They are openly wondering what has driven him to denigrate and even smear Barack Obama in a style more reminiscent of McCain's old enemies in his own party than the straight-talking maverick. They want to believe that he has not really changed, and that somehow these lapses can be blamed on someone else. Like a spouse in a bad marriage, they have yet to face up to the fact that he actually changed years ago -- or to ask if he was ever the man they once thought he was.

1. "Like a spouse in a bad marriage" I wonder if they have a pre-nup like
John and Cindy?

2. Good! McCain is such a fake.
Basically he'll suck up to anyone to win. For years he sucked up to the media. Now he is sucking up to the right wing.

What a brown noser.
