McCain's stance on [Russia's invasion of Georgia] shows him to be close to certifiable -- not only on specific policy points but also in what I guess I would call affect.

He's worked at fairly evident cross-purposes with the president of his own party. He's been in several times a day phone contact with one of the key players in the drama. He's dispatching his own faux diplomatic delegations to the scene.The question remains, though, is anyone in the press noticing?
