McCain Loses His Head

The signpost of Conservative Criticism, George F. Will, blasted John McCain in an article published in the Washington Post Tuesday calling him a "Queen of Hearts".

He opens with a quote from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
"The queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. 'Off with his head!' she said without even looking around."

and ends with what I would call a clear choice for the readers:

Conservatives who insist that electing McCain is crucial usually start, and increasingly end, by saying he would make excellent judicial selections. But the more one sees of his impulsive, intensely personal reactions to people and events, the less confidence one has that he would select judges by calm reflection and clear principles, having neither patience nor aptitude for either.

It is arguable that, because of his inexperience, Obama is not ready for the presidency. It is arguable that McCain, because of his boiling moralism and bottomless reservoir of certitudes, is not suited to the presidency. Unreadiness can be corrected, although perhaps at great cost, by experience. Can a dismaying temperament be fixed?


In the middle he called him "Childish", "Shallow" and his behavior "like a flustered rookie".

I just LOVE quoting Conservatives lately...
