McCain Brags That Consistently Wrong Jennifer Rubin Thinks He's Right

Jennifer Rubin, the hawkish blogger for the Washington Post with a long history of being wrong, felt compelled to pay homage over the weekend to people who she said "have been right about a lot of things lately."
It was the inseparable trio of Sens. John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) known, thanks in part to their own self-promotion, as the "three amigos" who won the honor as Rubin's "Distinguished pols of the week."
They wanted a stay-behind force in Iraq. They challenged President Obamas excuse that he wasnt responsible for the failure to set up a status-of-forces agreement, as contemplated, to extend beyond 2011. They wanted early action to dislodge Bashar al-Assad. They were skeptical of the interim deal with Iran. They warned that the Russian reset was a mistake and Vladimir Putin was a threat to former Soviet states. They decried the foolishness of defense cuts and the failure to stand up to China. All three have argued that it is folly to dismantle anti-terrorist architecture, such as the National Security Agencys data-mining programs. Given the collapse of the Obama foreign policy and the state of the Middle East, their foreign policy judgment over the last few years has been rock solid.
Naturally, McCain agreed with the assessment and reciprocated Rubin's faux honor by labeling her post a "Must-read."
