RedState's Streiff, yesterday:

What the AP, and the press in general, fails to note is that Shinseki was essentially fired ... for being a disloyal **** and actively lobbying to preserve a weapons system the OSD did not want. ... Having said that, I am cheered by the selection of General Shinseki as the Secretary of Veterans Affairs rather than a politcal [sic] hack like Max Cleland who has made a career of riding his admittedly serious injuries.

Streiff, Sept. 1:

As we discovered during the 2004 election, John Kerry is a man virtually devoid of honor. ... Now, four years later, Kerry returns the favor not by defending John McCain against calumny but by joining the voices spreading it. There is a whispering campaign underway working on two levels. The first level, the more respectable of the two if such a distinction is possible, is that John McCain hides behind his POW experience to deflect criticism and uses it to his advantage relentlessly. For instance in USA Today:

Former president Jimmy Carter called Republican presidential candidate John McCain a “distinguished naval officer,” but he said the Arizona senator has been “milking every possible drop of advantage” from his time served as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
