Where's John McCain's honor when we need it? We'll find out tonight, when the Arizona Republican appears on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno. In the week since the election, Mr. McCain's campaign team has leaked some nasty stuff about Sarah Palin. These leaks are personal, and they speak more to the character of Mr. McCain and the leakers than they do to Mrs. Palin. So it will be telling if Mr. McCain stands up for his partner and says how offended he has been by what some of his staffers have done to her.

McCain Owes Sarah Some Straight Talk

They’ve been LYING about Sarah and as we now know some of that information was a HOAX.

"In Mr. McCain's moving concession speech, he wished "godspeed to the man who was my former opponent and will be my president." He asked his fellow Americans to join him in helping President-elect Obama bridge our differences and build a better, more hopeful nation.

It will be instructive to see whether Mr. McCain will now extend the same level of graciousness to Mrs. Palin that he has to Mr. Obama, by giving a public slapdown to the very public smears emanating from his own campaign team. We have no idea what Mr. McCain will do when he sits down with Mr. Leno tonight."

McCain has a reputation for being nicer to his enemies (a despicable trait, btw) than to his friends. Obama and McCain couldn't have been farther apart, as far as political enemies go. McCain and Palin couldn't have been closer, as far as political friends go. Yet already, McCain has SO graciously reached out to Obama and urged us to do the same (Fat Chance!). Not a kind word for Sarah Palin, as the backstabbers among his staff, ravage her, let alone eloquent words of defense, which she well deserves and we all expect.

Governor Palin was and is too good for their campaign.
