And it isn’t siting well with some in the GOP:

“I think John is treading on some very thin ground here when he impugns motives and when we start to get into ‘You’re less patriotic than me. I’m more patriotic,’ ” Hagel said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “I admire and respect John McCain very much. . . . John’s better than that.”

Now I know the wingnuts will quickly dismiss that as Hagel being a “RINO”, but he isn’t the only one. Apparently some who are closer to McCain aren’t that happy either:

One GOP strategist with close ties to McCain’s campaign said the new line of attack reflected the operation’s “schizophrenic” nature. He said that tendency was also on display last week, as McCain spoke at length about media coverage of Obama rather than sticking with his plan to focus on the economy.

I say keep it up John. The more he sees that these attacks aren’t working, the worse they will get. Before long America will see the real McCain – Mr. Hot Headed, temper tantrum McCain. Then it will really be fun.
