Here's the deal

And Joe Klein touched on this a bit.

McCain always seems really sincere when he apologizes. And he regularly apologizes for actions that he took part in long ago. It's how he sold the whole "Keating 5" experience as an actual victory for...John McCain.

And the media falls for it, hook-line-sinker. Even though it is performance art so cheesy and vile Piero Manzoni would put it in a can.

Tweety Matthews was actually on television decrying McCain's campaign tactics as beyond sleazy while declaring McCain somehow is unaware of it.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT.

The fact is McCain is counting on his "apologizing" capabilities to kick in to high gear if he can somehow slander and lie his way to winning the election in a squeaker. He's sold his soul so he can win.

Afterwards he believes, win or lose, he can apologize and get back into the good graces of his spurned man-crushes.

And don't count out his ability to give a shallow, convincing, hair-shirted performance to the media-whores inclined to want to forgive him.

To which I respond.

Fuck him, fuck him now, fuck him in the future, fuck him always.

40 plus years ago you were held captive and treated abominably. But not as badly as the civilian victims of the bombs he dropped. They're not running for anything except fertilizer.

The present is how you serve your country now.

Fuck you, fuck you in the future, fuck you always.
