John McCain

McCain's Anti-Bachmann Speech Doesn't Absolve Him

This was a good speech in opposition to Michele Bachmann's wild conspiracy theory about Hillary Clinton aide, Huma Abedin.

But it's always important to remind anyone who might suddenly go ooey-gooey for McCain when he makes gestures like this.

First, in that speech yesterday, McCain repeated the conspiracy theory in full, thus spreading the word about Bachmann's wingnutty horseshit. Second, McCain continues to caucus with the Republicans on every filibuster of every piece of Obama/Democratic legislation that gets out of committee and reaches the floor. Third, McCain will always be the politically irresponsible opportunist who almost gave us Vice President Sarah Palin.

So chill out.
