John McCain's excellent judgement

This editorial in the WSJ talks about McCain's unusual choice in heading up his transition team, citing Lehman's ethics problems regarding his time as Navy secretary. The editorial pointed out what great friends McCain and Lehman are. I wouldn't call this so unusual, but I would use a much overused phrase, isn't this "just politics as usual?" I know McCain has given air quotes a very bad name, but I can't help myself... I mean who does this sound like, friendship over competence, cronyism rules all. Why doesn't it sound just like GWB? Another incredibly seamy side not mentioned in the WSJ is his involvement in the Tailhook scandal. Mother Jones has an exceptionally lurid description of this fine upstanding Naval officer.

But I guess in McCain's world, boys will be boys.
