Editing McCain

Watching George W. Bush speak, particularly on the campaign trail in 2000 or in his rare news conferences since, followed by reading reports of his remarks the next day in the newspapers was always a frustrating exercise. The accounts I'd read in the newspaper would have no relationship at all to the fumbling, confused, petulant responses I'd actually heard on the teevee.

Well, seems like CBS News has taken this kind of sanitizing to a whole 'nother level. If 2000 is a guide, the results should prove disastrous.
