Holy Joe

er, John. Says Think Progress:

Yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) explicitly blamed the Clinton administration
for North Korea’s nuclear weapons test on Sunday: “[I]t is a failure of the
Clinton administration policies…that have caused us to be in the situation we’re
in today.”
This morning on NBC, “Straight Talk” McCain had a different tune:
“I think this is the wrong time for us to be engaging in finger pointing when in
this crucial time, we need the world and Americans united.”

It is beyond me why McCain is widely regarded as being a non-partisan saint by the media. I think they are too busy giving him a perpetual hand job because they go for the "tough, man in uniform" kind of guy. The problem, however, is that it is completely misleading, if not straight out false, and McCain is full of shit.

By the way, does anyone else besides me see Lieberman going for a McCain-Lieberman Unity ticket in '08? Of course Joe's the bottom. For more on the similarities between the two, read Stoller at MyDD.
