Tony Snow on John McCain
Via Cathy Seipp comes an interesting take on Tony Snow, and this tidbit on the NYTimes' favorite GOP presidential candidate.
Snow also departed from the general, bipartisan media adulation of John McCain - which he attributed to a dazzled and somewhat shamefaced respect among draft-dodging baby-boomers for the Arizona senator's military service: "You look at these guys on the press bus and they haven't been this close to a uniform since their dads made 'em throw out their G.I. Joe dolls."
Snow wasn't so dazzled, partly because he found himself on the wrong side of McCain's famous temper when the then Republican presidential candidate was a guest on "Fox News Sunday." At the time McCain, asked about his taste in music, had been quoted as saying that he liked the band Nine Inch Nails. Snow put up the lyrics to a Nine Inch Nails song on the show and asked, "Are you sure?"
The result, Snow said, is that McCain refused to speak to him for four months.
"Here's the thing about McCain: He's crazy," Snow added. "Another thing is, you cannot be a successful Republican candidate if you spend all your time bashing Republicans."
No -- and I do mean NO! -- conservatives with whom I talk politics support the idea of a McCain presidency. From judges to illegal aliens to not understanding (read: opposing) the First Amendment, Johnny Mac is a Moonbat in Mufti.
He's got zip-point-crap-minus-three chance of winning the GOP nomination.
