Good morning.
We've been waiting for John McCain to go off the deep end. He took a dive in that direction yesterday with his way over-the-top attack on Obama's patriotism saying, "Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign." It was disgusting. The video is here if you haven't seen it. Watch McCain's extended and very creepy grin at the end. Brandon Friedman wrote about the backlash from veterans. Jed Lewison accurately analyzed it as an attack on any American who opposed the war. Even Joe Klein was appalled:
I can't remember a more scurrilous statement by a major party candidate. It smacks of desperation. It renews questions about whether McCain has the right temperament for the presidency.Desperation is the best word to describe it.
Thread the news, please.
