Pirate's Cove

This is what passes for civilized commentary on the Left, as cable news’ biggest attention whore attacks John McCain (thought the attention whoring has still not translated into, you know, ratings)

Now as promised a Special Comment on the remarks of the Senior Senator from Arizona about Senator Obama at the VFW Convention, and about NBC News and MSNBC.

Four times in just two days, Senator McCain’s campaign managers have, simply, hung him out to dry.

First, trying to scapegoat the media, in the exact way that has spelled doom for other presidential candidates already watching from the sidelines.

Second, doing so with a petulant statement so full of holes that it virtually **confirms** that which was reported, and which set off this pointless temper tantrum in the first place.

Third, sending the candidate out to speak before the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention, even as the millstones of a series of disastrous, anti-veteran votes, still figuratively dangled from around his neck.

And fourth, encouraging Senator McCain, while there, to address his opponent in the language of unseemly contempt, undignified calumny, and holier-than-thou persiflage unsupported by reality… near-nonsensical bluster that — at best — makes the speaker look like a dyspeptic grouchy neighbor shouting “Hey you kids, get out of my yard.”

That is just the start of a 12 minute rant. You can read the whole thing at Crooks and Liars, which is all giddy over Keith, though, if they were honest, they would admit that they rarely, if ever, watch Keith. Video available, if you can stomach Mr. Angry, at Crooks and Liars or Youtube.

Here’s how Mr. Angry and Unwatched wraps it up

And despite how you have strutted, Senator McCain, you have no God-given right to the Presidency.

Let’s have an adult campaign here, in other words — and I am embarrassed to have to say this to a man who turns 72 at the end of this month — Senator, grow up!

Good night, and good luck.

Say, Keith, have you noticed that you and the Liberal media have annoited Barry the Chosen One? I wonder how being the Chosen One worked out in Star Wars? Sorry, don’t have a Monty Python reference for that ;)

Senator McCain would certainly love to have an adult campaign, but, you do not respond to people who act like petulant children who refuse to discuss certain topics and blame “Not Me” whenever something goes wrong.

Keep up those fantastic ratings, Keith!
