The Blogger That Dare Not Speak His Name

A classic from Cheney-toady Stephen Hayes at the Weekly Standard:

One  writer for The Atlantic Monthly put it this way last week. "What I've learned from watching McCain these past two months is that there's nothing he wouldn't do if it could get him a small bump in a news cycle, polarize the electorate, and appeal to a rabid base that is now his only source of power." He added: "My view is that McCain has shown his character in this campaign: it's vicious, petty, lazy, reckless, vain and dishonorable."

Is there now a rule at TWS as well as at NRO to never link and (almost) never cite my name? And, by the way, yes: McCain's campaign was an ugly, hollow, vicious, cynical tragedy that deserved to lose by a much bigger margin that it did.
