"Because, of course, McCain had. Absolutely. Nothing. Whatsoever. To Do. With. It."
It was stupefying that most of the mainstream newsoid media fell for this nonsense. Would they have blamed McCain had there been a terrorist outrage while he was there? No, of course not: they'd have been idiots to do so. Yet letting him bask in the glory of the hostage release was an exactly similar non sequitur -- rather like, for that matter, crediting Raygun with the fall of the Berlin Wall.
