The Senior Senator from Valhalla

There is something about John McCain that brings out the latent homosexual in America's punditariat.

But hell, that is nothing new to my gentle readers (all seven of you)...Russert, Matthews, Blitzer all have a seriously repressed relationship with the GOP's presumptive nominee.

Humble Elias has a radical notion that deserves some consideration; Let us resolve to hold Senator McCain's war service to the exact same standard that got applied to John Kerry's Viet Nam record in campaign '04.
Remember those words, the Exact Same Standard.

Mind you I don't propose to lie about the man a'la the "Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth" but I'm not gonna let McCain hoist himself onto a pedestal without a fight.

It will be interesting to see if the Great War Hero ends up selecting a notorious draft doger like Newt Gingrich or worse Mitt Romney as his running mate this fall. Given the conspicuous lack of combat service in the leadership cadres of the GOP , so few of these guys were willing to honor McCain's service by replacing him in the ranks whilst he languished in a Hanoi prison camp.
That is where we will get him...his opportunism it is as good a start as any.
