Yoo Es Ay! Yoo Es Ay! Yoo Es Ay!

Of all the commentaries on McCain's speech I've seen, I think Jim Sleeper's best captures the contrast and conundrum of McCain's basic decency set against the shame, sham, and shambles of his party... as one caller to NPR's call-in show after the speech said to Neil Conan, McCain is simply "too good for the Republicans." And that is both why he deserves to be pitied and why he deserves to lose the election.
