The inscrutable, schizoid Richard Cohen (Raw Story version)

Once 'in the tank for McCain,' journo now calls McCain 'a farce'
By Ron Brynaert

Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen admits that in the past he - along with other members of the press - sometimes metaphorically experienced goosebumps every time Senator John McCain opened his mouth.

Not any more.

In an op-ed entitled "The Ugly New McCain," Cohen complains that the Republican presidential candidate has now "become the sort of politician he once despised."

"I am one of the journalists accused over the years of being in the tank for McCain," Cohen writes. "Guilty. Those doing the accusing usually attributed my feelings to McCain being accessible. This is the journalist-as-puppy school of thought: Give us a treat, and we will leap into a politician's lap." (More at link)

Who would believe a word Richard Cohen writes or speaks? Richard Cohen is the Joe Lieberman of journalism.

1. Cohen is a nut

That guy has a history of defending some pretty nutty things, so if he goes after McCain that's pretty bad.

Get this: they call Cohen a liberal. Rich.

I suppose it's nice, and better late than never... but really, Dick is so full of shit, what does it matter?

3. Coehn said a month ago that McSame's POW experienced excused EVERYTHING

adultery, flip-flopping, Keating 5, his infamous temper,calling his wife a c--t... He went on to say that since Obama wasn't a POW, he'd never be as trustworthy as McSame.
