Unsuited To The Presidency

Ouch!

George Will, the current dean of conservative columnists, was blistering in his column today toward John McCain. He used words like "flustered rookie", "childish", "unpresidential", "shallowness", "impulsive", and moralistic. And then he ended with this zinger:


It is arguable that, because of his inexperience, Obama is not ready for the presidency. It is arguable that McCain, because of his boiling moralism and bottomless reservoir of certitudes, is not suited to the presidency. Unreadiness can be corrected, although perhaps at great cost, by experience. Can a dismaying temperament be fixed?
