John McCain prefers the love of his enemies to victory, which is why he isn't president of the United States, which is why his enemies love him again. Downplaying of the scandal of Obama's political ally Rod Blagojevich allegedly attempting to sell an Illinois's senate seat to the highest bidder, McCain chided fellow Republicans on ABC's This Week by saying that "we should try to be working constructively together" rather than criticize the Obama administration, whose chief of staff finds himself knee-deep in the scandal. Should we work constructively with Blagojevich, too? Should Republicans stop asking questions of Jesse Jackson Jr., who held a fundraiser for Governor Blagojevich two days before he met with the governor about the vacant senate seat and three days before the criminal complaint quoted Blagojevich as stating that Jackson had offered to "pay to play"? Should we not bother asking for the identity of Obama Advisor B, who gives his imprimatur to a pay-for-play scheme involving the vacant senate seat? Does Rahm Emanuel wish to work constructively with Republicans, and should journalists ignore a man who has never ignored them until now?

I've said it before but I really think that five years in the Hanoi Hilton broke McCain and he never recovered (Hell, it would have broken anybody).

He's weak and continues to demonstrate that fact by his collusion with political enemies and his clownish appearances on tv shows where he is not highly thought of and is often the but of his own jokes.

Good thing we let the media and "independents" pick our candidate for us and that it was one as bad as McCain.

I'm going to have a Christmas party and invite Advisor B, Candidate No. 5, and Client No. 9. Can you think of anyone else I should invite?

Riddle me this: there are only 100 Senate seats and we’re (well, the liberal knuckleheads of NY) are going to give one to a woman because she has the right name?! Never had a job, never had responsibility for anything but happens to be a member of the lucky sperm club.

Now, explain to me again why Governor Sarah Palin isn’t qualified to be Vice President?

George Will once described McCain as the favorite Republican of those who regret that there are Republicans. A just comment.

By the way, asdf, don't worry--I won't pollute this blog with further explanations of why Palin isn't qualified to be president.

But I do agree with you that Kennedy is not at all qualified for a Senate seat.

By the way, I hate the Kennedys. That's not why I think Kennedy is unqualified for the Senate seat, but I really hate the Kennedys and I just needed to vent.

That's right Alan. You can't pollute it because there would be virtually nothing of any substance to write.
