Men of substance

I'll second Kevin Drum and second Ezra's seconding of Kevin -- this talk of "ideas" coming out of the McCain camp is spectacularly silly. What new ideas? "No new taxes?" I've read those lips before, and, as can only be expected from a straight-talkin' maverick, it's utter bullshit. "100 years in Iraq?" I guess that's novel only in the sense that few other sentient Americans share his zeal for endless occupation of people who don't like us. Health care? We've got all the damned emergency rooms we need, dammit.
