McCain's pathetic apology.

I was a fan of John McCain during most of the 2008 election.  I admit, I liked him as the lesser of several evils, but he represented a more moderate Republican (for most of his campaign).  Lately, however, he's been more and more extreme, some say in order to avoid becoming obsolete.  Last Sunday he was pounding the media pavement to get his point across--indeed, we was so busy calling for hearings on Benghazi that he missed the first hearing on Benghazi.  His most relevant statements had to do with Susan Rice and the speculation as to whether she may be nominated to replace Hillary Clinton.  McCain drew a line in the sand, claiming not only that he would filibuster her nomination for Secretary of State, but that he would oppose any and all of President Obama's nominees.  His problem with Rice had to do with her report after the 9/11 attack in Benghazi.  He claimed that she was either incompetent or a liar for not having included references to al Qaeda in the report.  As it turns out, the al Qaeda references were redacted by the CIA, as everyone had been telling McCain.  McCain has finally conceded the point, but while he is big enough to call Rice a liar on national television, his apology has appeared on his web site only.
