Cui bono?

Or perhaps someone - unusually for the Rs - is being a spiteful and vindictive little shit for the sake of it.

This is one of those 'We'll never know' situations.

But we do know the entire press corps is coming Alaska looking for red meat stories, so I'm not sure malice is even necessary.

Re: Enquirer, not Review (none / 1)

Remember the Rs are the ones who sabotaged the Miers nomination to the Supreme Court.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Re: Enquirer, not Review (none / 1)

None of them benefit right now, because they're stabbing McCain to death if they're pushing this. If he completely implodes, the Dems might well get those extra five or six seats in the Senate, which basically means they're free to do whatever the hell they choose and can tell the Reps to go fuck themselves.

But someone could be pushing it to kill McCain's campaign in hopes of a 2012 run, positioning himself/herself as The Savior of the Party.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
