Further evidence that the RePresidential fix is in, and that John McCain has been given the nod. (See my diary BREAKING: McCain to be next RePresident for more on that subject.)
From the an article called “Deal on ports approved without Bush’s knowledge” in the San Jose Mercury News. Following a lengthy outline of how serious the Ratpub legislators are about opposing this BushCo scheme come these lovely paragraphs:
“We all need to take a moment and not rush to judgment on this matter without knowing all the facts,” McCain said.
“The president’s leadership has earned our trust in the war on terror, and surely his administration deserves the presumption that they would not sell our security short.”
How drearily concuspiscent this hack has become. From the torture cages of the Vietnamese to sucking off the very same people who personally trashed him as a war coward when he ran against Bush.
The shame.
He knows better.
The horror of unfettered ambition…

I’m fed up with McCain. He won’t get the nomination anyway, so why is he doing this? Self delusion.
He won’t be nominated?
What makes you think that?
He’s ALREADY assured the real Ratpub powers that he is trustworthy, and they have now given him the keys to the vault.
From the aforementioned diary, BREAKING: McCain to be next RePresident.
Brought to you by that reliably repilian messenger, Robert Novak.
Major political contributors to George W. Bush who have never given a dime to prospective 2008 Republican presidential candidate John McCain received letters, dated Feb. 8, asking for donations to the senator’s Straight Talk America political action committee.
Obviously using President Bush’s direct mail list, the letter signed by McCain asks for $1,000 or $1,500 to support candidates agreeing with McCain on “key issues.” It specifically lists “limiting federal spending, immigration reform, military readiness, global climate change, Social Security reform, reining-in lobbyists, reducing the power of the special interests and putting an end to wasteful pork barrel spending by Congress.”
Each recipient received a card to be filled in for McCain’s files. “I’m asking you to update your file card,” requests the letter, though the Bush contributors had no previous card in the senator’s files.
MONEY wins elections.
They have said “Here ya go, bunky. We trust ya. You have made the correct obeisances and now you’re our boy. Go get ’em for God and country.”
Yup.
