“After running one of the most disgraceful ‘honorable’ campaigns in American political history … you’d think the least the least of the military McCains could do is to slink quietly off into the wild blue yonder with the thanks of a grateful nation trailing in his wake. But no, at age 74, he’s still in the Senate … where he can continue to reach across the aisle, poke his finger into the eyes of conservatives, hog the media spotlight, rail about Republican ‘isolationists,’ suck up to Fox News, and unleash his ankle-biting mini-me onto his enemies. Please, just go away.” This was National Review Online contributor Michael Walsh’s pique-bomb for John McCain, R-Ariz., whose behavior was clearly irking him.
