From Alec Baldwin's latest at the Huffington Post:
McCain is another right-wing, retro, deficit-loving, never-seen-a-defense-appropriation-I-didn't-like tool. But there are a lot of people in this dumbed-down country that will buy that.
There are a lot of people in this "dumbed-down" country that wish it were so, but of course nobody in the United States Congress has been a more vocal critic of defense appropriations than John McCain. The fact that he scuttled the corrupt Boeing tanker deal, which led to prison sentences for officials from both the Air Force and Boeing, has caused him considerable grief from 'defense appropriation loving tools' on the right and the left this year as the contract was ultimately handed to the Airbus-Northrop team. Which leads me to the stunning conclusion that brother Stephen may, in fact, be the brains of the Baldwin operation.
