"Q: What is your reaction (to Hagee Katrina comments)?
McCain: It’s nonsense.
Q: Would you withdraw accepting his endorsement?
McCain: It’s nonsense, it’s nonsense, it’s nonsense. It’s nonsense. I don’t have anything additional to say about that. It’s nonsense.
Q: Do you regret accepting his endorsement?
A: It’s nonsense. I don’t have anything more to say about that. Of course–I apologize for that. It’s nonsense. I reject that categorically and I would point out there’s a lot of people who have endorsed me. They support my views. That does not mean that I support–would I consider repudiating his endorsement? I certainly condemn those parts of his remarks. I continue to appreciate his support for the state of Israel and for many of the good things that he and his church has done. But I repudiate as strongly as possible those remarks and those of the Catholic church as well."
So, his comments are nonsense but Senator Walnuts refuses to renounce Hagee's endorsement? This is straight talk? It's 100% crapola, folks. Will McCain's weasely answer satisfy the MSM? Alas, it probably will. I'm not holding my breath until Tim Russert, Adam Nagourney or david Broder calls him on this...

The most self righteous person I can think of is McCain. He's the one who
has held himself up to such an impossibly high standard. It's hard not to
take pot shots at him. Also, it's the press who are so big on the
renouncing thing. It's the Russert speciality.
I've posted this to my flicker account in honor of McCain's reply:

This has gone beyond ridiculous.
