McCain’s m.o. clearly seen
Holman Jenkins at the Wall Street Journal sums up McCain on climate change (via Powerline):
In his climate speech on Monday, Mr. McCain exhibited (as the press usually does) a complete lack of consciousness of the fact that evidence of warming is not evidence of what causes warming. Yet policy must be a matter of costs and benefits, adjusted for the uncertainties involved. Which brings us to today’s irony: He who finds a six-figure earmark an affront to humanity is prepared to wave through a trillion-dollar climate bill without, as far as anyone can tell, a single systematic thought about costs and benefits.Or, as I’ve put it previously, McCain is both more arrogant and self-righteous than Bush and more thoughtless and incurious. Remember his denunciation of the North Carolina Republicans as being “out of touch with reality” for running a campaign ad that he hadn’t even seen? If Bush was not competent to be president, the same is even more true of McCain.
