McCain Doesn’t Try To Hide The Scarlett Letter

By Kleinheider Posted on August 18, 2008 at 5:57 am

The Median Sib praises John McCain for fully embracing Pastor Rick Warren’s question about his greatest moral failing:

McCain, on the other hand, demonstrated a clear understanding of his position on the issues and had the ability to reply succinctly and, I might add, humbly at times. I thought his reply about his greatest personal moral failing was amazing. He faced the #1 moral failing that the dems blast him on (something that happened over 25 years ago) and admitted that yes, it WAS a moral failing, and yes, he is an imperfect person. He didn’t try to explain it away or cloud the issue.

    Tried to post this on Median Sib’s blog, but couldn’t.

    Please.

    John McCain’s answer was short on facts and short on self-revelation. He said the failure of his first marriage was a “moral failing”, but didn’t say anything about the behavior that cause the marriage to fail. If I could’ve gotten away with that general a confession as a kid, Catholic school wouldn’t have been all that bad!

    Why is it we know every detail of John Edwards’ failings, but nothing about John McCain’s? Why have we read mountains of copy on Bill Clinton’s moral lapses, but nothing about Newt Gingrich’s? As long as rich, white guys say “there but for the grace of God go I”, Republicans will always get a free pass on this topic.
