You go, Rachel . . .

Rachel Maddow, my most favorite news commentator, just endeared herself even more by exposing John McCain in all his flip-floppiness.

She frames it as a chastisement of the D. C. news media for continuing to focus on him and his opinions, saying that he has changed his positions on major issues so often that he's not worth paying attention to. Pointing out that Sunday marked his 59th appearance on "Meet the Press," she wrote:

John McCain's positions on every major policy issue that he has faced in the Senate are now utterly incoherent...and that makes it all the more remarkable that John McCain is such a perceived font of wisdom for the punditocracy in Washington. What John McCain says he thinks about something at any one moment carries this great weight in the Beltway and gets written up and pontificating over, despite the fact that if you wait five minutes, John McCain is likely to have a totally different stance on the same issue."

That is so obvious, even to a casual observer of the news, the latest being his forcing wife Cindy to mimic his bad behavior by "clarifying" her position on DADT after making a video appearance on a NOH8 ad opposing bullying gay teens, when she says "they can't even serve their country."

Jon Stewart did a hilarious lampooning of McCain in the same way, juxtaposing McCain's utterly ludicrous position(s) and self-contradictions. Ending with this about Cindy's switch: "Wait a minute. She's opposed to what DADT does, but she supports DADT?"

Stewart also got in a zinger when he said something like McCain wants another two years and another study to determine what the effect of repeal of DADT would be -- but he spent 30 minutes choosing a VP running mate (picture of Sarah Palin appears on screen).

These two are about the only thing worth watching on TV these days, IMHO.
