"Shallow, incurious, indifferent to the facts"

For a moment I thought I was reading about George Bush. But no, the nouns attached to all these adjectives in the headline were "John" and "McCain."

My friend Underbelly has some interesting thoughts about John McCain, George W. Bush, what makes them similar and what makes them different. I recommend that you spend a few minutes here, reading his short essay about what does – and doesn't – make John McCain the worst kind of "old fogey."

Do we really need or want another intellectual dud in the White House?
