George Will has some bad news for John McCain today: You aren't fit to be president -- mainly because you aren't conservative enough! It's one part disgust with McCain's campaign, one part disgust with the bailout. While the whole thing is worth reading, the section about McCain's decision to throw out Andrew Cuomo as a potential SEC chairman is fascinating because it includes McCain's prediction that he could "lend some bipartisanship." This sheds some light on McCain's approach to working across the aisle: it's not a tactic you employ to achieve policy goals; it's something you use to make your approach look nicer. I'm going to have to walk over to AEI (right around the corner) and see if they want to lend me some bipartisanship in time for our next office party.
