Reply #42: Democrats rightfully shred, mock and pillory McCain for his about-face...

[LowerManhattanite]

...and sucking up to Bush after the intensely personal attacks on him in South Carolina in 2000...Bush's team put out all manner of vicious rumors about him...

Wife's a crackhead.

McCain's insane.

He sired an illegitimate Black baby.

He was a “traitor” during his imprisonment.

...we all said “What the f*ck?”

Now Senator Clinton cozies up to Scaife, who WAS THE LEADER OF THE VAST RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY SHE DECRIED, who worked like hell against Dems in 2000, 2004, 2006 (aiding in the “Swift-Boating” of John Kerry) and this is okay? A guy who hasn't changed his spots at all? (As in his editorial board's statement on Al Gore today: (http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/opinion/archive/s_559648.html)

“Of course, the world should take Internet inventor Al Gore, the fella with a serious "sigh" problem, about as seriously as it would Professor Ludwig von Drake, the nutty professor from Disney's Donald Duck cartoons. It's pretty difficult to have less credibility than a cartoon character, but Gore pulls it off.

No post-traumatic event values change alá Alabama's repentant racist Gov. George Wallace. Nope. Same guy. Same agenda. Just an evil *sshole hedging a bet and running a game.

Sorry, not buying it, as it shouldn't be bought. Just 'cause the devil puts down his pitchfork doesn't make his *ss an angel.

We equivocate on this enemy-embrace chicanery at our own peril.
