But McCain is a boy. His appeal among the fawning members of the Media who are his most ardent fans is supposedly based on his being a real macho man, but he is a boy. He has little self-control and no sense of cause and effect and doesn’t look either forward or backwards so that his moods are always dictated by the pressures of the moment and he is guided by his moods. He wasn’t gutsy enough to go with Lieberman. He wasn’t responsible enough to stick with Pawlenty. He was scared, desperate, and, probably, in a boy’s mood to say to all the responsible adults around him, Screw you, I’ll do whatever I want.
Trenchant analysis of McCain and by turns of his selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate. The story that won't go away…
