Not in my opinion. If you compare Weigel’s coverage of NY-23 to well, anything that McCain has ever written, it’s very clear that they’re coming from opposite ends of the political spectrum.

I may be biased though, as I’m a big fan of Weigel’s and he was, as far as I know, the first person on the left to give Charles credit for calling out the right-wing blogosphere’s association with V-B and other fascists. Check this article out.

I’ve always thought of him as being friendly to Charles, and maintaining a working connection with McCain for purposes of exposing the wingnuts. YMMV.

I think MM does V. That was not a working relationship in the party photos. And those who threw the party are folks more in agreement with McCain than Johnson, it seems clear. The article you linked is fair to Charles, but also throws a lot of links to “Johnson’s former allies”. Just another cozy industry, maybe.
