WHAT IS JOE KLEIN TRYING TO SAY?

Via Josh Marshall, I came across this post by TIME's Joe Klein:
McCain gives you something to admire and loathe almost every day. He did some terrific things this week on his anti-poverty tour: He gave a lovely tribute to Congressman John Lewis in Selma, he called out Bush's Hurricane Katrina non-performance in New Orleans. (Of course, he also voted against the Katrina relief funds.) The very fact that a Republican would take such a tour is significant--but his willingness to go into the muck on Hamas and Obama's "friendship"--or whatever it is--with the American terrorist Bill Ayres is gutter crap.


Klein praises McWAR for his anti-poverty war and in the very same paragraph notes that McWAR voted against helping the poor of New Orleans. (BTW, just why is it significant that a Republican would go on an anti-poverty tour?) On balance, I'd say that Klein here provides evidence that McWAR gives us more to loathe almost every day.
