Ken Burns Weighs In

Mon Oct 06, 2008 at 12:12:07 PM EDT


New Hampshire based documentary filmmaker Ken Burns
has a column at Huffington Post titled This is Not the John McCain New Hampshire Once Loved

The last paragraph says it all,

We in New Hampshire bear some responsibility, I suppose. Thinking we had the old McCain, we gave him a decisive victory in our primary that permitted him to vanquish those challengers. But he betrayed us. If you have to say you're a maverick in your ads, it's clear you're not. The real maverick turns out to be Barack Obama, who bucked his party's establishment and whose once-lonely positions have been adopted by nearly everyone including even the Bush administration. Nearly everyone, that is, except John McCain. So what happened to him?
That's what Granite State citizens have been asking the last few months. The answer is enough to turn us blue.

especially the last sentence.

Was Burns being cryptic?

His LTE could use a few nice comments over at the UL.

Whack-a-mole, anyone?

Republicans believe government is bad - then they get into office and prove it.
