re: #259 Last Mohican

Well, I must say, I was quite surprised and encouraged to see John McCain win the Republican primary. He wasn’t my personal first choice, but he was exactly the kind of rational, balanced, tolerant, uniting moderate figure that I’d like to see back in the American political system. And then he was pummeled into oblivion by the thoroughly polarized press, by the extremists in his own party who felt that he was “not conservative enough,” and by his own utter refusal to actually conduct a political campaign. I feel like, if someone were to write his biography, it could be called “The Last Moderate.”

And get use to it, because you’ll get that in spades in the up coming elections. (Can I say “spades.”)

That was only a foreshadowing of how far nutziod things are going to get.
