So I decided to be nice, hold back and not say what my first thought was when I saw that McCain is going to Canada to talk about free trade: “Ain’t no way he’s going to talk about Mark Steyn’s situation. He doesn’t even like free speech in America.”

Since I didn’t write it earlier, e-mailers have been writing it to me all morning.

This, Senator McCain — all thanks and praise for your service to our nation and commitment to our troops — is what your base thinks of you.
