Rush just had a good caller on who said that the senator’s response this morning — that he is “very disappointed” was “lover’s words.” As Limbaugh’s been saying for the first hour of his show “when are we [some on the Right] going to learn?” If John McCain had a typical conservative’s skepticism toward the Times, he would not be disappointed, he would have seen it coming.

I don’t mean to harp on that line. The Times was wrong to run the story they did. But did anyone expect the Times McCain endorsement to be reprinted throughout the general election?
