It is a sad commentary on the state of the USA media when Jon Stewart, on his parody news show The Daily Show, can do what Tim Russert, on Meet the Press, couldn’t. That is to get John McCain to admit he is “freaking out on us” and pandering to the radical religious right. A story I first read about on Kevin Drum’s blog The Washington Monthly.
McCain has hired a couple of Bush campaign advisors, presumably to prevent them from sliming him in his 2008 campaign like Bush forces did in 2000; and will deliver the commencement address at Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University.
