How Tacky Can You Get?


As it should have been:
All Presidential Candidates Set Aside Partisanship and Ambition to promote Idol Gives Back Charity

As it was:
McCain Crassly Crosses the Line to Score Partisan Points during Idol Gives Back

I watched his smarmy performance last night - his obvious discomfort, his not very funny partisan digs and thought that her was a real insight into the man.

He has one task, make a plea for charity. Instead he uses it to attack the Democratic party. He put his ambition and partisanship ahead of the charity - incredibly self-involved and selfish.  He cannot ever seriously make a nonpartisan, bipartisan sort of claim when he would crassly take advantage of this event for his personal partisan ambitions.

Obama and Clinton struck the right notes, they didn't try to score points off each other or the Republicans, they rightly put the charity ahead of themselves. Not so McCain. He's not Mr. STraight Talk or Mr. Moderate, He's Mr. It's All About Me.
