I would never send my kid to the New School Part II

McCain is a lot of things to a lot of people: a maverick conservative, a southwestern conservative, a social conservative and a foreign policy hawk. That he can outrage the right and the left in American politics is a testament to his integrity. Christine Flowers also has integrity. You should write he a note of commendation after reading this piece. Her email is cflowers1961@yahoo.com.

Meanwhile one wonders whether the precocious Jean Sara Rohe will ever evolve to recognize wisdom now or in her later years. But this barb is one for the ages.

What most upsets me is that hardly anyone in the liberal community has
criticized the attack on McCain. Remember the outrage at "swift-boating" and the
indignant defense of Jack Murtha?

Those who were rightly upset at the mud thrown in John Kerry's direction are conveniently silent when it comes from their own side. Those who said we should listen to Murtha's call for an immediate withdrawal of troops because of his war record turn their backs on McCain and stigmatize Kerrey. Their hypocrisy is limitless.

My wish for Ms. Rohe is that, away from the admiring cameras and accompanied only by her conscience, she make as great a mark on society as John McCain and his
brothers-in-arms. But I doubt it. The only Hilton she'll ever occupy belongs to
Paris' daddy.

McCain didn't deserve this kind of treatment. But what do you expect from the Left?
