McCain and the Fundies

John McCain is just becoming a 3D Cartoon. Between this and Rudy's announcement last week that he'd only appoint strict constructionists to the bench, the two Republican front runners are already flailing around attempting to prove their Neanderthal bona-fides:

on February 23, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) will be the keynote speaker for the most prominent creationism advocacy group in the country. The Discovery Institute, a religious right think-tank, is well-known for its strong opposition to evolutionary biology and its advocacy for “intelligent design.” The institute’s main financial backer, savings and loan heir Howard Ahmanson, spent 20 years on the board of the Chalcedon Foundation, “a theocratic outfit that advocates the replacement of American civil law with biblical law.”

Rudy thinks that he can cover up the train wreck of his private life by speaking in code to the fundamentalists. McCain's strategy is to prove as often as possible that everything he stood for as he waved out the back of the Straight Talk Express in 2000 was hogwash and he's actually the heir apparent to the pre dementia Reagan. To his great discredit, he proved he'd do anything that this administration asked him to do in defense of their ham fisted prosecution of the War on Terra, and now we'll be subject to his pathetic pandering to the "base" from now until 2008.

And John Kerry was a flip-flopper.
