I think some of the attacks on McCain, including around here, are excessive. But some of the people who keep talking about “McCain Derangement Syndrome” should listen to themselves, and consider whether they are really being the models of calm deliberation that they want anti-McCain conservatives to be. Take, for example, Noemie Emery, who has written a screed attacking unnamed conservatives who are, supposedly, engaging in a conspiracy theory about why McCain is winning. They are also, supposedly, attacking McCain supporters such as Phil Gramm and Jack Kemp. No quotes are provided. It’s a loopy, angry denunciation of loopy, angry denunciations.
