McCain has lost whatever bearings he ever had

And he's lost George Will.   The things that worry Mr. Will about McCain--" boiling moralism and bottomless reservoir of certitudes"--are very Bushian qualities.  Will didn't add the word "irrational" to his criticism, at least in so many words, but the implication certainly is there.  

After the last catastrophic 8 years and in the current crisis, the last thing we need is another, older even more irrational Bush.  I have certainly areas of disagreement with Obama, but he is definitely not a doddering frontman for a bunch of fiscally irresponsible neocon religious ideologues who most certainly do not put "country first."
