The Real McCain II

By The Daily Dish

Oct 30 2008, 11:38 AM ET

George Will gets it:

Palin may be an inveterate simplifier; McCain has a history of reducing controversies to cartoons. A Republican financial expert recalls attending a dinner with McCain for the purpose of discussing with him domestic and international financial complexities that clearly did not fascinate the senator. As the dinner ended, McCain's question for his briefer was: "So, who is the villain?"

This time, it's McCain. Why is Will never mentioned among those conservatives appalled by McCain? Are they going to call George Will a leftist now?
