Re: Beyond jaded! (none / 0)

Hyperbole aside, NYCrealist does have a point. I think many of the things McCain is "famous" for (other than getting screwed by Bush/Rove in 2000) are things that can well be described as McCain standing on personal principle in a rather unusual (for politicians) way.

That said, McCain deserves no praise for it. He makes no effort to see the connections between his little and -- as Stoller points out -- meaningless "stands" and the party he's aligned with.

After helping the gang gather rocks, he makes a little speech about how they shouldn't use them to break windows. But don't expect him to succeed. Or leave the gang.
