The editorial does a good job of describing the sorry candidates in what used to be a respectable republican party. The endorsement of McCain as the least worst may unfortunately give him too much credit, but it is all relative. I do not consider a prisoner of war a "war hero" but rather a war victim. McCain's flip-flop pandering to the religious reich wing is only lightly chastised. McCain's advocacy of permanent military occupation of Iraq in neocolonialism for oil is not mentioned. But it is excellent reading nonetheless.
