John McCain

State Of The Union 2010

January 28, 2010Burt Likko 2 Comments

Deflate The Rhetoric Already

August 26, 2009Burt Likko

John McCain is, for the most part, a class act and he proves it again: Senator McCain does not deserve boos and President Obama does not deserve derisive laughter from this crowd. It is one thing to think a policy… Continue Reading →

So Much Fail For One Column

November 5, 2008Burt Likko

Bad Choice Of Whipping Boys

November 5, 2008Burt Likko

Just A Hypothetical

October 29, 2008Burt Likko

What if I had been right a year ago? What if the parties had nominated Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton instead of Barack Obama and John McCain? Would the race be as one-sided with those candidates? Personally, I think that… Continue Reading →
