I am so glad you picked out one of the points that stood out at me...
The audacity of him to go to a country that has been the best ally America has...and tell them, that they need new faces in their political party???
How many years has HE been in Congress...and his best friend John Kerry???
If he is complaining that Bush is neglecting them...because he hasn't "confirmed" a new Ambassador...could it be because the Senate is SO on their own agenda...that they won't do the work necessary to facilitate filling this post.
Perhaps Bush should name McCain Ambassador to Australia...and then we won't have to see/hear him anymore!! LOL
I'm just glad you pointed this out for Levin's blog.
I had heard the "spin" McCain had a "Good" meeting with Howard awhile ago, but didn't remark much on it because frankly I didn't believe it. From all I've seen of Howard, he's a very good man. And I don't say that about most politicians. A real friend to the United States and this President in particular. Far more of a conservative then McCain could ever tolerate.
Now we get the flipside to McCain's spin meant only for our ears here in the U.S. We weren't supposed to hear these damning comments made overseas against the President, our military, our country, Howard and Australia.
I'm bookmarking this column and posting it to anyone that says we have to take McCain just 'cause Hillary is Hillary. That excuse just ain't good enough.
I wish we could ship McCain out. Ambassader to Hamas maybe?
Won't work .. he's like Clinton/Gore/Kerry .. he doesn't know when to shut up
Thanks, Txsleuth!
Even sadder that apart from John McCain, Kerry has no friends in the Senate.
