1. Pat Buchanan said last night that McCain's comment at Sturgis...
...showed his 1950s Top Gun thinking. Interesting ~ I agree that McShame is a throwback! heh heh

2. Here's another for ya - "McCain, The Cad"
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/frank-schaeffer/mccain-the-cad-a-sudy-in_b_106286.html

(snip)
In McCain's candidacy the folks who have driven American politics to the sanctimonious moralistic right for 30 years are about to be hoisted on their own petard. As for the military vote, a glaring chunk of McCain's life -- after Vietnam -- is the opposite of honorable.
(snip)
It is as a former insider's insider -- I once labored with Jack Kemp, C. Everett Koop and Gary Bauer, the Bush family and the Fords et al., to get evangelicals to vote Republican--that I note that according to evangelical theology and right wing morality, McCain is virtually in a class of his own when it comes to bad behavior. He makes Bill Clinton's moral lapses look benign by comparison.
(snip)
Republicans have been winning elections by appealing to a holier-than-thou sense of American goodness. One plank is the anti-gay and anti gay marriage agenda. In McCain they have a leader who represents the antithesis of family values. In fact McCain is sort of man who got horsewhipped by irate fathers on behalf of wronged daughters in Victorian novels. He's what used to be called a cad.
(snip)

...much more at the link...
