Call it an “Emperor has no clothes” moment. In his new editorial in the Washington Post, Richard Cohen pleads guilty to having been in the tank for McCain, then explains his reasons, before finally saying:
McCain has soiled all that. His opportunistic and irresponsible choice of Sarah Palin as his political heir — the person in whose hands he would leave the country — is a form of personal treason, a betrayal of all he once stood for. Palin, no matter what her other attributes, is shockingly unprepared to become president. McCain knows that. He means to win, which is all right; he means to win at all costs, which is not.
There seems to be a growing tide of conservative columnists, coming to this epiphany. David Brooks writes similarly in the New York Times. Maybe Bush isn’t the only one looking to his legacy.
