John McCain has let his base (the press) down completely. I doubt there is a member of the media cocktail wienie set that doesn’t feel like an idiot for some column they’ve written praising John McCain’s courage, character, or maverickyness. If you sink to new lows and win most things can and will be forgiven. But when you debase yourself and everything you were supposed to represent and lose? Boy howdie, that’s when history treats you unkindly. And when you lose despite declaring war on the media and the intelligentsia? Those are the people that write and teach history.
John McCain got behind in this race and made the decision to go all-in on the low road. And his posterity will not be kind. Whoo-boy is his legacy going to be ugly.
