    I just saw this video clip from Huffpost of Chevy Chase and his wife being interviewed on "Morning Joe". I laughed out loud when Chevy said,.."What does she know, and when did she learn it?"

    Wow.

    Michael Cohen has a piece in today's NY Times also mentioning McCain's father and grandfather:

    excerpt:

    And consider Mr. McCain’s 1999 biography “Faith of my Fathers” in which he writes of his father and grandfather and his life-long aspirations “to live my life according to the terms of their approval.” In speaking of the bedrock role that personal honor and virtue played in his father’s life.....

    One can only wonder what John McCain’s father would think of the campaign his son is running today.

    His "Hero" father pulled strings to get his inferior son a place in the Naval Academy and preference in assignments. The whole McShame family stinks. Privilege unearned is abuse.

    Oh, the travails of these poor pundits (Sullivan's another one), whose eyes have now, like Saul on the road to Damascus, beheld the truth of McCain's vile nature. Like adolescents with crushes on their camp counsellor, these fools expect me to empathize with their soul-searing epiphanies. Balls to that! Many of us have known that McCain was ALWAYS an asshole, a philanderer, a misogynist, a coward, a crybaby, a rageaholic, a self-pitying attention whore who demanded respect and honor, especially for his numerous insincere mea culpas (i.e Keating 5). Even the Baby McCain, the child who was father to the man, seized up with rage episodes that could only be controlled by throwing him into tubs of icy water, just as "snake pit" mental institutions did.

    I'd like to see someone ask McCain that question:

    What would your father think of the campaign you are running?
  • martha · 1 year ago
    That is brutal. But some "conservatives" (there are so few left, most people that call themselves conservative are neocons) and republicans must have children and realize that McCain (and Palin) are a disaster for our country.

    As much I like to see people finally coming over to the dark side, I resent people like Richard Cohen. It's far too little, far too late. He and his ilk are a big reason that Bush was allowed to screw over America for 8 years. FAILURE is not retroactively negotiable.

    There is 40 some odd days to go, let's see if these people stay on course about McCain. I don't take too kindly nor do I believe those that say this is a "different McCain". No that is not true, this is a 72 year old man, it is unlikely he has changed. More than likely he has always been this way. His temper is the same, his values are the same, his character is the same. Is it possible he has successfully hidden his true self, maybe, but one thing is sure the man has not changed overnight.

    I think we're seeing the real John McCain This is the John McCain he held in all those years.

    It's documented that after he survived the Keating scandal he made a conscious decision to rehabilitate his image. He knew that he would need the press to do that. So he courted the press and gave unprecedented access. In return, the press fell in love and constructed the Myth of John Mcain - The Maverick, the Straight-talker.

    The myth has now crumbled and the man who lurked beneath the facade is revealed by his ambition.

    "that man, beaten to a pulp, who chose honor over freedom.."

    Didn't he actually make propaganda tapes for the North Vietnamese? How is that choosing honor over freedom?

    attacking McSHAM's honor is precisley what needs to happen here. Take their percieved stong suit, and knock it down. This is perfect.
