Shame on NBC's "Today" show for having allowed Senator John McCain to gloss over Mitt Romney's egregious attack on President Obama for sympathizing with terrorists and appeasing hostile nations; and to substitute his own views on Syria and what he deems the "fecklessness" of Obama's foreign policy. What would he do, ignite another war in the Middle East? Romney's pitiful saber-rattling diminishes himself and his campaign. That the "Today" show allowed McCain's remarks to go unanswered was to distort the actual political news of the previous day: that Romney stepped far out of line with his remarks, and further out of line when he repeated them without apology, earning wide and justified condemnation not only from Democrats but from those in his own party who yet possess a remnant of decency, good sense, and restraint.
Frank Rich offers a saner view of the events. Also this link, from my friend Stuart.
