Senator McCain and Susan Estrich

In her latest column, Susan Estrich questions Senator McCain's judgement in appearing in the new R-rated movie Wedding Crashers. Aside from the fact that I question Ms Estrich's judgement since she hints that her underaged children (13 and 15) are allowed to watch such films (I could be wrong, I will admit.) I think she gives more credit to Senator McCain than he warrants. Yes I know he is the assumed 2008 Republican nominee but I don't take that as a given. (Here is my bet.) Ms Estrich ends with the statement ,"In the end, what may be at issue is not whether conservatives share McCain's sense of humor but whether they come to question his judgment." Don't get me wrong. There are plenty of things I like and respect about Senator McCain and find his life story fascinating and inspriring. In fact I think we probably share the same sense of humor. But even with that, what I think Ms Estrich fails to realize is that I, and many other conservatives, already began questioning his judgement and conservative credentials many years ago. Pity.
