McCain the Lapdog and His Lapdog Staff

[filkertom]

You might've heard about John McCain giving a commencement address at the New School graduation (held at Madison Square Garden), and how (having his speech in advance on the Internet, as he was delivering the same speech to three different commencements) a young woman named Jean Rohe delivered a pre-buttal to it.

Well, she ended up on the Huffington Post... and, in the comments, there's McCain's former and possibly still current Chief of Staff, Mark Salter, trying to lay a smackdown on this young woman. Read the details here -- it's rather disgusting.

And sign me up for this. McCain has done some very good things in the past, and shown bravery on many levels; but, the past several years, and especially the past two, he has shown himself to be a spineless political animal, every bit as calculating and reprehensible as Joe Biden and Bill Frist, who also seem to think they have a chance to become President.

Is there anybody you'd vote for, at this point? I'd go Gore/Feingold or Gore/Clark, but beyond that it looks pretty bleak.
