Thank You, Thank YOU!

Glenn, just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this post and for the unsparing and dead-on language you used to describe what is happening as we watch McCain and the Republican party and everything they stand for collapse around them. It's sad that this final gasp of hatred, lies and filth is coming from the mouth of McCain, someone I truly used to respect and who has, many times, actually taken on the worst ideas and elements of his party. In many ways, it's a tragedy.

It's impossible for him to change now, because he's in such a bubble, but I wish he would go down nobly and with dignity instead of what we are witnessing. His defeat will be crushing, because nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time as come, especially when Obama is the messenger!
