By the way, while our corporate media cousins were beating up on House Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi for her “bitter, divisive struggle” showing all manner of bad leadership by supporting John Murtha for the Majority Leader post which was won by Steny Hoyer (and rest assured that I’m being tongue-in-cheek here), how many people out there knew that Trent Lott was elected Minority Whip by a single vote over Lamar Alexander (as Colorado Media Matters notes here – I already got into Lott’s Jim Crow beliefs and allegiances last week, so I won’t comment again on that).And do you know who that single vote was?
John McCain, that’s who (way down in the story).
John McCain (with his buddy here), who once said that he supported Roe v. Wade, but now states that he wouldn’t mind a bit if it were overturned.
John McCain, who once said that Bush couldn’t send more troops to Iraq (or that Bush couldn’t “sell it” to this country anyway), but now states that he should.
And speaking of Iraq, can it be more of a pathetic statement against Bushco that Ahmadinejad of Iran is trying to hold a summit with Iraqi and Syrian leaders?
Sounds like they’re going to set up what passes for a “government” in that county on their own and we’re not going to have an official say in anything (assuming we ever really did to begin with).
I realize McCain, Lieberman, and the rest of the war apologists aren’t going to answer this question, but I’m keen to ask it again anyway.
What is it again that we’re fighting for over there?
Update 11/21: Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich offers some interesting thoughts on McCain here (via Atrios).
