John McCain, All-Around Good Guy

mccain-angryu.jpg

If John McCain does something hypocritical in a forest, does anyone notice?

As everyone knows, John McCain is just a great guy. So great, apparently, that he can criticize negative ads one moment, then turn around and issue his own attack ads the next, and no one will report it. According to a biting Media Matters piece:

Numerous print media outlets reported on Sen. John McCain's assertion following the Iowa caucuses that "[t]he lesson of this election in Iowa is that ... negative campaigns don't work." But none of those articles noted that McCain has run negative TV and Web ads against Mitt Romney.

Numerous attack ads, indeed. McCain just released another one today, which says, in part: “Mitt Romney, leading? He’d rather call lawyers.”

The main-stream media, tell the full story? They'd rather just keep loving John McCain. Let's hope they at least report the "Let's stay in Iraq for 100 years" comment.

Mcain lost it years ago in the Hanoi Hilton. Those darn Commies pinioned his arm's, hauled him off the ground, and then beat his testicals with a rattan cane. He went round the bend. He cant stop himself, he wont stop till the bombers are wheels up over Tehran and his hands are slick with blood. Katie bar the door, there's a Madman in the Yard!
