How revealing. Greg Sargent has an interesting post about John McCain getting quite “prickly” when asked during a Time magazine interview to define “honor” in a political context. Saint McSame refused to answer the question.
Well, this is what Webster says and apparently McSame needs to re-read it.

Etymology:
Middle English, from Anglo-French onur, honur, from [...]

John McCain may soon be sporting a black eye instead of appearing rejuvenated after his interview with Glamour. Obviously unaware of of Hillary Clinton’s “testicular fortitude,” McCain suggested in the interview that Clinton might be feeling sorry for herself.
The Caucus reports McCain was asked if Hillary had been ‘treated fairly on the campaign trail as [...]

My friends, John McCain has a new ad for Iowa, but it may be dated. The ad takes a swipe at Clinton and Obama, claiming “John McCain leads” while the two Democrats continue their slug-fest. McCain must believe the slug-fest is to be continued. Let’s hope he’s very wrong.
Unbelievably, the ad actually promotes John McCain’s [...]

Longtime readers of TPC know how I feel about mixing religion and politics, and particularly my view on the religious test applied to Barack Obama with respect to Jeremiah Wright. But for those that aren’t, I had to give this particular issue on Pastor John Hagee, and by association John McCain, considerable thought before posting [...]

John McCain and George Bush — inseparable. I suppose Joe Lieberman and Lindsey “Mini-me” Graham are getting jealous.
President George W. Bush will join John McCain for a fundraiser in the Arizona senator’s hometown later this month, McCain’s campaign confirms.
The reception, to be held in Phoenix on May 27th, will mark the first time the two [...]

Well, if Hillary did nothing else, she gave us a few good lines, which seemed appropriate to go with the spanking the Times Editorial Board has given President Bush and the Senior Senator from Arizona, John McCain.
President Bush’s penchant for slash-and-burn politics, learned at the feet of Karl Rove and the late Lee Atwater, is [...]

If there were any doubts that John McCain is George III, McCain removed them in his response to Obama’s speech today. Be afraid — be very afraid of Barack Obama.
Watch it.
McCain is definitely going to continue the fear-mongering that has been the foundation of George Bush’s presidency and dominated [...]

(Update I and Update II below)
Barack Obama blasted John McCain and George Bush this afternoon for their remarks yesterday that Obama was a Neville-Chamberlin appeaser and unfit to “preserve this nation’s security.” Obama accused them of “dishonesty and divisive attacks.” He denounced their foreign policies, saying they were based on “hypocrisy, fear-pedaling, and fear-mongering,” and [...]

McCain says Obama is not fit to defend the country because Obama is willing to meet with Iran.
“I think [it] is an unacceptable position, and shows that Senator Obama does not have the knowledge, the experience, the background to make the kind of judgments that are necessary to preserve this nation’s security.”
Obama has said he [...]

Of course John McSame agrees with George Bush.
Senator John McCain, who has been critical of President Bush on the environment and other policies this week, on Thursday morning wholeheartedly endorsed Mr. Bush’s veiled rebuke in the Israeli Knesset of Senator Barack Obama that talking to “terrorists and radicals’’ was no different than appeasing Hitler and [...]

Sen. John McCain and Pastor Hagee
John Hagee has apologized for referring to the Catholic Church as the “great whore.” It is good to see that Pastor Hagee has finally been enlightened with a theological perspective that not every verse in the Bible was intended to be interpreted literally. An epiphany at 68, is better [...]

Want a sneak preview of the first ad the Republican Party will run if Clinton is the Democratic nominee? Here it is — straight from a major speech Hillary made on Iraq at George Washington University on March 17, 2008. What will resonate more? This speech combined with Hillary’s comments from 2005 or an ad [...]

I knew from the moment I watched John McCain live on C-SPAN as he made his 100-years-in-Iraq statement that it would be damaging. The only question was, “How much damage?” The press gave McCain a relatively free ride (nothing new) for more than three months; therefore, the damage has been minimal, if even measurable until [...]

The Center for American Progress (viz. Think Progress) seldom, if ever, weighs in heavily against one of the Democratic presidential candidates. I’ve heard a few pundits critically comment that it leans towards Hillary Clinton, but I have personally seen no evidence of any substantive bias towards Obama or Clinton. McCain, of course is a different [...]

John McCain is scheduled to deliver a speech on health care today. Following are excerpts from his prepared remarks. As you can see, McCain makes no provision for the 47 million Americans that currently do not have health insurance. Instead, he says he will “work tirelessly to address the problem.” Has he already started? Does [...]
