Rolling Stone: Weathervane McCain: Throw Rummy Under the Bus

[Contrary1]

McCain is an even bigger idiot than I thought. Does he really believe he can distance himself from Bush at this stage of the game? Good article.

"Mr. Maverick, where have you gone?

I take the unmaking of John McCain personally. Another lifetime ago, when he was running against Gov. G.W. Bush, I registered Republican to vote for McCain in the California presidential primary. He struck me as a principled problem solver. A man who might bring about a post-partisan revolution in good government and accountability.

So it’s truly disheartening to watch McCain jettison the principled independence that used to make him a transcendent figure. Jerry Fallwell, formerly an “agent of intolerance” in McCain’s estimation is now a chum, who no doubt smiled when McCain decided to deliver the keynote address at a creationist convention.

Abortion used to be a woman’s choice. Now it’s time to overturn Roe v. Wade, says McCain. McCain says he doesn’t believe in building a border fence, but then, suddenly, in the same sentence, he offers to build the “damn fence” if the GOP base demands it. Same goes for gay marriage, which he recently said “should be allowed”, until an adviser whispered in his ear, prompting him to clarify, “I do not think that gay marriages should be legal.”

2. McCain was never a "principled problem solver".

He is an embittered man who stabbed John Kerry in the back (after Kerry worked hard with him in good faith on the MIA problem). He also subjected his wife and adopted daughter to disgraceful inuendo at the hands of the Bushies in 2000 and now "forgives" them. McCain, get your head on straight and figure out who your REAL enemies are and maybe you'll start to heal.
