Has McShame become a rogue element?

Who is the current president? Why is McShame sending in his own diplomatic delegations to Georgia? Why is Lieberputz going on a fact-finding mission? To whom will he report? Is Russia/Georgia getting three different messages? (Bush, McShame, Cheney) Is this in America's best interests? Is this wag the dog?

Standing behind a lectern in Michigan this week, with two trusted senators ready to do his bidding, John McCain seemed to forget for a moment that he was only running for president.

Asked about his tough rhetoric on the ongoing conflict in Georgia, McCain began: "If I may be so bold, there was another president . . ."

He caught himself and started again: "At one time, there was a president named Ronald Reagan who spoke very strongly about America's advocacy for democracy and freedom."
