What our noble media missed about John McCain for a very long time is that it has been a long time since he actually spent any time thinking about the actual process of governance. He's been a TV pundit and general media asskisser for as long as I've been aware of him, and the rest of it hasn't much interested him. Is
he lying or does he just not know what he's talking about? With wingnuts that's always the question, and the answer really doesn't matter all that much.
