"Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

sense of decency?" Attorney Joseph Welch, to Sen. Joseph McCarthy

I asked this a while ago on DU. Are we approaching such a point once again in American political life? If not, we should be. Who will be our Joseph Welch?

John McCain has the power to create such a moment like this, right now, all by himself. But he won't.

Who then will be our Joseph Welch?

1. No, McCain won't

but wouldn't it be something if he did it at the convention

[villager]

2. Who will be...

...our Edward R. Murrow?

"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves..."

[gumby]

3. Whoever it might be

will get NO media attention whatsoever.

The end result will be that they never really said anything at all.

(grudge against "the media.")
