McCain Can't Denounce Brown
And that will prove fatal for him in the general election, a very different outcome from 1988.
The reason? McCain has sold his soul to the devil, and it's not just Brown, but a whole company of devils who would even associate with a person of the caliber of Brown, who should be contained, as in an aquarium, but who passes for human and avoids residency in a Poisonous and Unclassified Species section of a zoological farm.
I knew Lee Atwater well enough to know I liked him as a person, even though I detested his horrid approach to politics.
The same does not apply to Floyd Brown, who as I have already suggested, is Not of This Earth. It's not like McCain has hired Brown -- the arrangement is, in reality, more like McCain got too close to Brown and the rest and they got on him. He would have to set himeslf on fire to get rid of the curse.
Even if McCain decides to commit political suicide by trying to make some sort of show of criticizing the ethics and mores of Floyd Brown, et al, he'd still carry the stain with him to his mausoleum. The mistake is fatal. The disease is Terminal Power Addiction. Life has lost any meaning for John McCain beyond the ultimate promotion to Commander-in-Chief, and there is no way to save himself now. He's touched the leper. He is now one of them. He won't denounce Brown. He may try to use one of Brown's magic cures and say he's crossed some line, but it won't help.
Brown, for his part, has attached himself to an anchor which will take him and the rest of the neocon menagerie back to the bottom of the swamp.
Hide and watch. It's the Mistake of the Century. There's no going back.
