We've seen this movie before. As McCain starts to drop in a few polls, he begins to embrace the loud and large right, right wing of the Republican Party. We saw him kiss up to Jerry Falwell in 2006 after calling him an "agent of intolerance" in 2000. We saw him hug Bush in 2004 (see above) after a nasty fight with him in the campaign in 2000. Now, as the Republican Party seems to be ready to finally hand over the reins to "100 years" McCain, he is embracing the crazies again.
This time, he put his arms around Rush Limbaugh. Apparently Limbaugh has been attacking McCain left and right, so McCain responded this way:
"I respect Rush Limbaugh."
And.
"He is a voice that is respected by a lot of people who are in our party."
I doubt McCain really feels this way. It sounds like a pander to me. Where's the straight talk?
