You want wingnut apoplexy?

Asked on NBC’s “Today” if he thought Kerry was weak on defense, McCain said: “No, I do not believe that he is, quote, weak on defense. He’s responsible for his voting record, as we are all responsible for our records, and he’ll have to explain it. But, no, I do not believe that he is necessarily weak on defense. I don’t agree with him on some issues, clearly. But I decry this negativism that’s going on on both sides. The American people don’t need it.”

McCain for Secretary of Defense. Isn't that exactly where he should be? He'll have a hell of a lot more sway than Powell, that's for sure.

(Poor Colin.)
