George Will's Insurrection

One of the more fascinating spectacles this election has been watching iconic conservative columnist George Will take after John McCain. From today’s scorcher: "Did McCain, who seems to think that Palin's never having attended a 'Georgetown cocktail party' is sufficient qualification for the vice presidency, lift an eyebrow when she said that vice presidents 'are in charge of the United States Senate?’” Ouch. Will goes on to charge to that “McCain has a history of reducing controversies to cartoons.” One of the latest controversies is the attempt by the McCain campaign to make light of Obama’s huge fundraising haul; as Will points out, the average Obama donation for September was $86.
