McCain loses George Will?

Excerpted from Will's column yesterday in The Washington Post:

McCain's smear -- that Cox "betrayed the public's trust" -- is a harbinger of a McCain presidency. For McCain, politics is always operatic, pitting people who agree with him against those who are "corrupt" or "betray the public's trust," two categories that seem to be exhaustive -- there are no other people.
Not since Richard Nixon have I seen anyone like this in presidential politics - and the comparison makes me shudder. Evidently, even conservatives are concerned.

FEATURED QUOTE

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."


-- Cecil Day-Lewis from Where Are The War Poets?
