Lexington: In defence of John McCain

摘要

Six years ago, John McCain denounced Jerry Falwell as an "agent of intolerance" who belonged to the "outer reaches of American politics". This Saturday Mr McCain is travelling to those very outer reaches—to Mr Falwell's Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, no less—to give the commencement address. The city website notes that Lynchburg is famous for products such as ChapStick and the "first disposable douche"; but from now on, as far as many liberals are concerned, it will be famous for Mr McCain's capitulation to the forces of darkness.
