As Eric Alterman and George Zornick illustrated in the June 19 issue of The Nation, a smitten press corps has helped to ensure that John McCain's extreme positions and politically inspired flip-flops remain far from the consciousness of the average voter. In particular, many journalists have uncritically swallowed the nostrum that the Arizona Senator holds an advantage of "character" over Barack Obama, exhibiting remarkable amnesia towards the disturbing associations of his key advisers and the notoriously short-fused candidate's proclivity for insensitive remarks. LA-based comedy team The Public Service Administration plucks an especially gruesome moment from this laundry list of gaffes to parody the mainstream media's "not-so-subtle man crush" on the Republican nominee.
