Republicans do not have to be nutz.

McCain is going nowhere presidentially. The fact that Ford was feckless is indisputable - you just need a dictionary.
Just ask the Poles, whom he freed during a debate in 1976 and then unfreed when reality set in a week later.

Ford is a monument to fecklessness. But Ford can't help it that he was an unhappy mistake, a living abomination to the republic, the only unelected President this country has every endured. Heck, he didn't even know his wife, Babbling Betty Bloomer, was a drug addict.

The media likes Republican losers, hence their hollow accolades for Ford and prospectively, for McCain. When was the last time anyone even listened to Ford, even at a Republican convention? In recent years Ford has only been heard when he was sabotaging Republican prospects, to the applause of the media. Call it "the Goldwater syndrome". You'd think his handlers would try to preserve some dignity for the guy in his infirmity.

All is not lost, maybe McCain can borrow some truckload of "WIN" buttons and hawk swine flu shots on his roadshow back to Arizona.

"Feckless" does not refer to misconduct, but to ineptitude. That may not be altogether fair, either, but he certainly permitted an image of bumbling to develop....
