Do You Really Want An Answer?

Matthew Yglesias on the end of John McCain’s first marriage:

Now I have ample other reasons for thinking Barack Obama would be a better President than McCain, so I’m not going to pretend that this is my key driving force. But I’ll agree with Nick Beaudrot that “I’m really curious what the more explicitly family-values-oriented conservatives like Ross Douthat think of this particular story.”

This is not a tricky one. I feel quite confident in guessing that they’ll say, “At least he’s not a black Muslim.”
