Blast for McCain from 'Primary Colours' author

By Leonard Doyle

Time Magazine columnist Joe Klein, (the "Anoymous" author of the Clinton era blockbuster Primary Colours) says John McCain's suggestions that Barack Obama is willing to lose a war to win an election were the most outrageous he had ever heard by a major party candidate.

On his blog he slammed the remark saying:

"This is the ninth presidential campaign I've covered. I can't remember a more scurrilous statement by a major party candidate. It smacks of desperation. It renews questions about whether McCain has the right temperament for the presidency. How sad."

Here's Klein discussing it on CNN:

Whether you believe it's 'typical rhetoric' from Joe Klein of Time magazine or not, is not to deny the apparent truth in his accusation. McCain has sunk big time, going to new depths with his Britney, Paris ad. Considering both Spears and Hilton's families are McCain supporters and have donated the max to his campaign, and have been vocally critical of McCain's ad ... it's one for the ages. Biting the hands that feed him, perhaps McCain never had any bearings to begin with.

Typical rhetoric from Anonymous Joe, then again since Joe's talk so good maybe Barack writes from him. And, since Rupert's Out of America sounds like a Barack sound-bite too, maybe that's why you guys hired Ted to once and for all shake up cages.

he said that becouse he knows that it works. with middle america no nothing about the rest of the world. they beleive any and every thing.
