FAIR gives us some straight talk about the media’s favorite -- indeed, their only ‘maverick.’
“The press loves McCain,” explained NBC's frighteningly obtuse Chris Matthews. “We’re his base.”Well, certainly none of you bootlicking asswipes.
“Those of us on the Straight Talk Express eight years ago got a breathtaking journalistic opportunity: to be inside the lively mind and heart of a leading contender for president,” Newsweek’s oozing blowhole wHoward Fineman recalled, jerking off into a dry hankie. “McCain was as joyously combative as Popeye and as earnestly confessional as Oprah.”
“I know it shouldn’t be happening, but it is,” wrote Charles "lame" Lane in the New Republic. “I’m falling for John McCain.”
A writer in the same magazine, the feculent, self-fondling Michael Lewis, declared that his feelings for McCain were like “the war that must occur inside a 14-year-old boy who discovers he is more sexually attracted to boys than to girls.”
The narcolepsy-inducing CBS host Bob Schieffer called him the “most famous maverick of the last half of the 20th century.”
Time’s sperm-burping wankrag Joe Klein turned in a piece headlined “McCain Is Back,” which heralded the angry old psycho's "return to form." Klein wrote that McCain was “rising from the crypt, but not as a zombie. The foolishly conventional Republican McCain of last year was the zombie. No, this is the funny, free-range McCain reincarnated.”
ABC’s Terry "moran" Moran congratulated McCain for doing “what he’s always done, play it as straight as possible. A directness that still startles.”
The Washington Post’s leghumping Dana "pretentious dochewad" Milbank, touching himself, declared: “He is the bravest candidate in the presidential race. While his rivals pander to primary constituencies, the former prisoner of war gives audiences a piece of his mind.”
“To be sure, no one can accuse McCain of pandering,” wrote CNN/WaComPo’s overly-moist embarrassment wHoward Kurtz.
Let's see...
1. McSame has flipflopped on Bush's tax cuts
2. Embraced former "agents of intolerance"
3. Flipflopped on his own immigration bill
4. Flipflopped on foreign policy
5. On gay marriage
6. On mortgage relief
7. On torture
8. On ethanol subsidies
9. On normalizing relations with Cuba
10. Contraception and HIV? "I’m sure I support the president’s policies on it."
11. Inner circle is heavily weighted with lobbyists
12. Sided with Bush on health care
13. Sided with Bush on the "surge"
14. “Fine with" him if U.S. troops are in Iraq for 100 years
“Go ahead, senator, flip-flop away,” wrote gaping fuckstick Jonathan Chait in the Los Angeles Times, trying to explain McCain’s shifting positions. “I know you’re with us at heart.”-- Gawd. More at FAIR.

I like FAIR and try to support them -- they're one of the first and best media critique organizations from a progressive/left viewpoint.
Unfortunately, as they so well document, McInsane is getting the 'GW Bush MSM Treatment', so -- it would NOT surprise me (depress/frustrate/aggravate me, yes -- surprise me, no) if the American sheeple were to elect him over either Obama or Clinton, because they're only listening with half an ear and that's tuned to the MSM.
