Joke Line, The Liberal Who Loves Some Republicans
The McCain man-crush is back:
There is only one American politician who sounds like this: "With my usual suicidal, masochistic tendencies, I spoke at the Detroit Economic Club last week and supported increased fuel-efficiency standards."Yes, yes, it's John McCain, 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, the independent who dares speak to an environmental forum in New Hampshire, touting his green credentials, actually supporting a return to the Kyoto global-warming negotiations, which is anathema to most Republicans. That guy — the interesting one — is back.
This is truly ridiculous of Joke Line because Obama said the exact same thing at the Detroit Economic Club like 5 months ago, and it's a major part of his stump speech so it's not like it's an invisible incident.
Also, McCain's idea of "green" means build as many nuclear power plants as humanly possible.
Joke Line is a wanker.
(h/t Digby, who notes that this comes the same week that McCain called a nurse's school training doll "Hillary." All straight talk and class, he is.)
