I’m still waiting for someone in addition to Charles to shun McCain instead of giving him further additional opportunities for foot-shooting.

I’m still waiting for more people to get upset about the right’s embrace of McCain and other extremism.
Like Dave Weigel is.

Here’s an NPR interview with Weigel:

Is the conservative right undergoing a transformation? Journalist David Weigel thinks so. Weigel covers the Republican party for the online magazine The Washington Independent, where he’s written about tea party protests, anti-health care activists, the “birther” movement and the recent Values Voter summit.

Hint: he wasn’t coming out in favour of teaparties, anti-health care activists, or nirthers.
But I suspect he has been in the same room with them at points.
