being booed by his own crowd, having to take the mic away from a woman who said Obama was an arab..It was so sad for McCain. I really feel sorry for him because he never should have gone down the character assassination road after what Bush did to him a few years back when they were competing against each other.It's so sad that McCain, who has been admirable in many ways, would take the advice of former Bush cronies and go negative and have it blow up in his face.So sad...
and now the Palin report being released by the Alaska legislature saying she violated state ethics...What a terrible choice she was...
Christopher Buckley understands the realities of Washington and American politics.
In his novel Florence of Arabia, he describes a room full of financial titans as, if I remember correctly, "Never have so few, done so little, to earn so much."
I doubt Buckley could claim to be surprised at being fired.
After all, a writer for the National Review endorsing a liberal Democrat is the equivalent of the average worker going into the boss' office and saying "eff you and your whole lousy operation, you festering heap of parrot droppings."

McCain wants it too bad.
If you're willing to do anything to get anything, sooner or later you end up paying for it, one way or another.
And does so with reason and well displayed wit.
Who knew?

Just like when Hitchens was fired by The Nation for advocating the invasion of Iraq!
