George Will Takes It To John McCain

Conservative columnist George Will takes it to John McCain in today’s Washington Post:
Under the pressure of the financial crisis, one presidential candidate is behaving like a flustered rookie playing in a league too high. It is not Barack Obama.
Channeling his inner Queen of Hearts, John McCain furiously, and apparently without even looking around at facts, said Chris Cox, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, should be decapitated. This childish reflex provoked the Wall Street Journal to editorialize that “McCain untethered”—disconnected from knowledge and principle—had made a “false and deeply unfair” attack on Cox that was “unpresidential” and demonstrated that McCain “doesn’t understand what’s happening on Wall Street any better than Barack Obama does.”
You can read the WSJ article here. George Will’s column is here.
The McCain campaign is asking voters to determine which candidate is “ready to lead.” If voters ask themselves that question, they’ll be choosing Barack Obama without hestitation.
