You know, we really ought to thank McCain, since he's doing a lot of our work for us. Every time he opens his mouth, something alarming comes out (and I'm not talking about the little lizard tongue that flicks out of his mouth constantly). Unfortunately, the press is running interference for him, so most of these things don't make it into print, and they almost never get discussed by the talking heads. Still, our job is easier: instead of having to make the case for why McCain is an insane dinosaur, all we have to do is point out things he himself says. Also, I like how he's undoubtedly pissed off his base here by admitting that tobacco kills.
