John Hearts Jerry

Sen. John McCain (Republican-AZ) appeared this past Sunday on Meet the Press and further solidified his title as panderer of the year. The once independent spirit of the Republican Party - and a man who I (now, regretfully) pushed to run on a bipartisan unity ticket with John Kerry in 2004 - is falling in love with Jerry Falwell and the party's fascist contingent. Money quote:

Russert: Do you believe that Jerry Falwell is still an agent of intolerance?

McCain: No, I don't.

Somewhere Mark Bingham is rolling over in his grave.
