The Washington Examiner calls Senator McCain to task for his statement on Don Imus’s program that “I would rather have a clean government than one where, quote, First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I’d rather have the clean government.” McCain’s statement implies an alarming disrespect for the Constitution and for political freedom. If McCain truly means what he told Imus, then conservatives who doubt his fitness for the presidency may have a case. As the Examiner observes, “those who put their private political vision above everybody else’s essential freedoms cannot be trusted with the reins of power.”
