MARK STEYN: “I’m getting a bit tired of Senator McCain’s anti-business shtick. The line about serving ‘for patriotism, not for profit’ is pathetic. America spends more on its military than the next 35-40 biggest military spenders on the planet combined: Where does he think the money for that comes from? . . . If greed is to be punishable, why doesn’t he start with a pilot program applied to, say, the United States Senate and report back to us in five years how that’s going?”

Indeed.
