Death had to take him sleeping, for if Roosevelt had been awake there would have been a fight
One reason among many -- though by far the most important -- I admire John McCain is that he is a man of honour. I think Ace has it right to as to why now the McCain campaign should decide it is going after the University of Illinois for records that would shed light on Obama's connection to unrepentant terrorist, Bill Ayers.
But when an opponent pisses him off, he goes for the jugular, in a "dirty" way. I don't think it's dirty. But he would normally call this sort of thing dirty himself. It becomes not-dirty when his opponents, or their supporters, do dirty stuff themselves.
So thanks, Andrew Sullivan! You successfully made Bill Ayers, Bernie Dohrn, and Obama's long and fast friendship with them an issue.
And if dueling were still legal, McCain would not be pissing around with university records. My advice to Team Obama: Carefully avoid saying anything about McCain's wife. I am proud to say most of my close friends think along the same lines as McCain on points of honour.
