John McCain is getting desperate and showing more signs of creeping senility. Recently he said "It seems to me that Senator Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign." That’s a sorry thing to say and he has apparently no clue that such intemperate talk may come back as a backlash. It’s one thing to disagree on issues and policy positions but to impugn his opponents patriotism and motives in such a way does himself no credit.
Once again Boswell’s dictum, “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel,” is proven. Time's Joe Klein called the political hit "as intemperate a personal attack as I've ever heard a major-party candidate make in a presidential campaign."
