The Nerve!!!!

Poor Mary Matalin, she is swimming upstream with both hands tied behind her back. She feels compelled to defend the Bushies over this war, and her defense has taken strident measures.
The other day, Matalin knocked Chris Matthews for speaking out on a position opposite hers. She essentially said that he doesn't have the right to speak out in such a partisan manner on the air.
Let me get this right: Chris Matthews cannot speak out on issues on the Chris Matthews show. Hannity can on his show, O'Reilly can on his show, Limbaugh can on his show, but not Chris Matthews on his show. If that idea made less sense, Bush would have said it.
Then we have John McCain, senator,war hero, presidential candidate, and media fave. Reporters were elbowing each other out of the way to get a seat on McCain's "Straight Talk Express" campaign bus in 2000, and he loved the attention. When I worked at "America's Talking", and we couldn't get a guest or if a guest cancelled, we could almost always get McCain, the guy would show up for a toothpaste tube opening.
Now he is angry. He is mad because John Solomon of the Washington Post reported that McCain has embraced soft money,that end around method of getting contributions from large donors, a position that he had previously condemned. He called this article the worst cheap shot he had ever endured.
Really? Worse than the Bush campaign saying his wife was a drug addict? Worse than saying he illegally adopted a child? Worse than Karl Rove spreading the idea McCain ratted out his fellow POWS? Does anyone believe that? Hands? Anyone?
This is the same McCain who slammed Jerry Falwell,and then spoke at Falwell's Liberty college, proving that anybody can embrace anyone.
As he slides off of the presdiential bandwagon, McCain can look to one place for his demise: the mirror.
