McCain was so outraged, by what his own campaign planned and did

So horrible, what his handpicked advisors and coordinators are doing with his okay.

Crooks and Liars:
Yesterday one of the big stories was when walkie-talkie Bill Cunningham voraciously attacked Barack Obama warming up a crowd for John McCain. He was so over the top that supposedly the McMaverick campaign told John about his performance and after the crowd left—McCain apologized to Obama. Cunningham was so incensed over being repudiated by McCain that he pulled the Limbaugh trick of saying he’s now supporting Hillary Clinton.

...

Even if McCain wasn’t familiar with his act—his camp knows it and to tell Cunningham to go all out only means one thing—the apology was a fraud. The straight talk express is being as disingenuous here as it has been with regards to his own finance law that he’s failed to comply with. And that’s really the story here. Who cares if a wingnut walkie-talkie is upset about being dissed.

And this is the trouble. With the lobbying story, the media looked passed the hypocrisy. With this it is just about McCain's condemning, not the fact his campaign picked him to do what he did do.

I am thinking this is the theme of the medias future coverage of candidate McCain. Look at the lesser issue and the positive, and ignore the bigger issues and quandaries.

We will have to see.
