McCain has taken leave of his senses. This is one of the most idiotic and demonstrably goofy things I have ever read:

One of the reasons why there are so few conservatives in America's newsrooms is because the profession of journalism is relentlessly derided by those who claim to speak for the conservative cause.

Imagine that statement coming from Rachel Maddow's mouth during one of her extended sneers on MSNBC. Have trouble imagining it? No, you don't, because it sounds just like her.

Good grief! I just wrote a comment to an earlier post about Republicans not being up to actually confronting the enemy and now here's a blogger who calls himself a conservative sounding like the most dismissive, sneer-happy lefty on the most frothy, high-decibel lefty network.

QED!

Conservatives don't like journalists because they forge documents and make up encounters and change facts to benefit their friends in politics who are usually, though not always (Hillary Clinton comes to mind) Democrats.

And, BTW, one of the reasons there are so few conservatives in newsrooms is that if they go to the Columbia School of Journalism if they stay conservative they don't graduate.

Another reason is that if they apply for a job they won't get or stay hired.

And who wants to work in a place where you either have to dissemble all the time or never get anything published because it doesn't fit the template? Where everybody ribs you about being a sexist/rapist/racist/polluter/creep? Where, after the 4,355th explanation the Bush did not lie about the WMD because he believed they were there you feel like weeping because it never, never, never stops. Bush always lied. Cheney always invented the whole thing to make a few hundred mil for Halliburton. Cindy Sheehan was always the Mother of the Year and John Edwards was always worried about the little guy and his cancer-stricken wife.
