We cats never were very impressed with the term "Straight Talk Express," and today we're even less so.
USA Today reports that John McCain has accepted nearly $70,000 in political contributions from members of the infamous Swift Boat Veterans for Truth — whose anti-John-Kerry smear campaign Senator McCain criticized four years ago as "dishonest and dishonorable."
Somehow, we think this takes the edge off the manufactured right-wing brouhaha over General Wesley Clark's comments this weekend. And it reminds us once again that Senator McCain's vaunted reputation as a post-Keating-Five straight shooter is transparently undeserved. What has changed in the last four years, except the fact that it's Senator McCain now who is running for President and who desperately needs the money?
We cats switch our tails and narrow our eyes in boredom and disgust.
