Hitting newsstands Monday.

This is one scary cover

Leave it to Newspeak to muddy the water. To hint that John McCain is not himself a member of the right is irresponsible.

ron has a good point. McCain talks big but then when the torture issue comes to ahead, or example, he caves in and gives the President everything.

Here at FDL is a good synopsis.

Call me ultra-cynical but I cannot believe that this stuff is not scripted. I'm wondering that since all the fuhren-pundits have been goose-stepping to the fuhren-skippy for the last 7 years they need to regain some 'street cred' by seeming to throw McCain 'under the bus'.

Do they really want Huckabee in charge? Someone that sounds like a fundy democrat?

I've been most amazed that the media has picked up and carried the word "maverick" in relation to McCain.

Could he pick any better word?

And, I think the dissatisfaction is real, but it's more a reflection of the strict and limiting orthodoxy that the remains of the Republican party.

I mean, how big is the tent if someone like McCain can't make it in?
