WELL, HE HAS GONE PRETTY MUCH FULL CRAZY-GRANDPA ON THIS ONE: McCain Undermines His Own Cause. I really think he’s just frustrated about being upstaged.
UPDATE: “While the old guard of the Republican Party was out playing footsie with the president, the new kids in town were talking to the American people about liberty.” There’s no shame in conducting budget negotiations. What’s shameful is the narcissism behind the attacks on other people who are also doing things that need to be done.
Plus, from the comments: “For the better part of 20 years now, every time McCain pushes the Republican-bashing button, he gets a food pellet from the press corps. At this point he probably couldn’t stop if he wanted to.”
