On John McCain:
We’ll admit, we have some sympathy for the former Republican leadership and George W. Bush with regards to the “John McCain situation.” It was kind of fun for us communists to see John McCain (occasionally, arbitrarily) challenge the Bush administration on a handful of issues over the years, but now that he’s doing the same thing to Obama, and after his election behavior… the guy’s just annoying, right? All he likes to do is annoy everyone. Hovering. It’s creepy. And CURSE the person who ever introduced him to Twitter, jesus… so what unnecessary stand is he taking now for the sole purpose of annoying everyone? Sam Stein with the scoop: “Sen. John McCain is putting together a major economic plan that will be structured, in some ways, off of Newt Gingrich’s famous Contract With America.” Eh, needs more Reagan
And Then....
The Senate passed the $410 billion omnibus stimulus package tonight after a week of widespread grandstanding and feigned horror over $7.7 billion in earmarks — which is simply a means of allocating streams of existing funds — split between 95 Senators. And yet here’s John McCain, going nuts about earmarks and earmarks only because he is too stubborn, ignorant and stupid to learn budgetary policy, or any domestic policy, really, that can’t be easily tagged as unethical or dishonorable. And if you don’t know the difference between a hyphen and a dash, then you do not deserve to sit in elected federal office, Twitter rules be damned. [Washington Post]
