Great Post-Election Moments: The K-Hammer Gives History's Verdict
Friday, November 7, 2008 at 8:39
Charles Krauthammer's head has been spinning wildly over the last month at the thought of a Democrat in the White House. Today, it goes into overdrive as he passes history's verdict on "people" (the naive, panicky, unthinking people who would not vote Republican) and John McCain.
Correctly identifying the September/October economic crisis as the moment when the GOP lost the campaign, Charles then makes a leap of logic to drop-kick the real villains of Election 2008: "people [who] seek shelter in government".
This, however, is only the prelude to his historic proclamation:
"[McCain] will be -- he should be -- remembered as the most worthy presidential nominee ever to be denied the prize."
Ummm, no, he won't. Really.
