Here is Maureen Dowd's b**ch slap on McCain: First, Dowd cites, without mentioning a name, one of McCain's "old pals in the senate," who cringes "at what they (sic) see as his soulless transformation into what he once scorned." The quoted portion here is Dowd's gloss on what was said by the anonymous "they," who is not quoted on this point directly. Could it be that "they," the source upon which Dowd hangs her vituperation, is Edward Kennedy? McCain sure had a lot of Democrat pals in the senate who now support Barack Obama.

Could her source been one of these prominent Democrats?
