He was honest enough to acknowledge that John McCain was pandering to the hard-right with contradictory statements that demonstrated obvious insincerity to all but the most careless observers. At the end of his long and distinguished career ,he came up against the likes of Charles Colson. <br><br>Remember Chuck Colson, the disgraced apparatchik from the Nixon White House? Remember what "Nixon's hatchet man" stood for then, before he went to prison for the obstruction of justice? The sign on Colson's White House office wall said it all: " When you've got 'em by the ba**s, their hearts and minds don't matter." Looks like some things do not change.
