Why, one wonders, is McCain afraid of the truth? If Arianna and two other eye-witnesses are correct, it’s the best news for McCain’s campaign in a while. But doesn’t this sound a little, er, elitist:
Now two other guests at the same dinner, given by the actress Candice Bergen, at her home in Beverly Hills, say they heard much the same thing as Ms. Huffington. Both of them, the former “West Wing” actors Bradley Whitford and Richard Schiff, were asked by Ms. Huffington to speak to The New York Times. Mr. Whitford said he would be supporting the Democratic nominee and had donated to Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama; Mr. Schiff is supporting Mr. Obama.
The Republican candidate is used to having Beverly Hills fundraisers with Candice Bergen, Arianna Huffington and West Wing actors? Don’t you think if Obama had been hanging with these people quite so often, the Rove machine would make it an issue?
The dirty secret is that McCain is rarely more at home than with the liberal cultural elite. But shhhh. Don’t tell anyone, will you?
