This post and the video clip from yesterday’s This Week roundtable (available in full here) are must-read and must-see. When people like George Will, Cokie Roberts (she of the Obama’s going to Hawaii is too foreign and too exotic) and Sam Donaldson are speaking this way about John McCain’s continuing inability to be consistent with his own past actions (hero of deregulation now saying that he would be “the toughest re-regulator”) and to substitute, as Will says, vehemance for coherence, I’d guess that the alarm bells are going off all over the place.
That vehemance for coherence thing – so not where a person you’re supposed to see as president, let alone a moderate or independent, should be going. IT’S LIKE TYPING IN ALL CAPS the same thing you just said in little caps: still doesn’t convince anyone about anything. Just makes them think you might be a little adamant, and nutty.

“John McCain showed his personality this week,” said the writer and pundit, “and made some of us fearful.”
That quote from George Will says it all doesn’t it.
Cokie Roberts is straining straining straining and even she just doesn’t see anything good. I’m not a fan of Donaldson or Will but there they were telling it the way so many of us have been seeing it for a long time. Donna Brazille really didn’t have to say much because they were there saying it for her, and that makes it all the more powerful.
I’ve always liked George Will because he and I don’t agree on very much in politics but then I get the conservative viewpoint. (It doesn’t hurt that he writes passionately about baseball either lol)
I think McCain’s temper is an elephant in the room and maybe now it’s really becoming obvious to everyone who should be supporting him that it’s getting worse (his temper) and not better.
