I missed this

Until I was driving to work today (at 0-dark-30) and listening to AFRN. The news came on, and I heard that the New York Times had endorsed Hillary Clinton (duh!) and....

John Freakin' McCain.

If you've never had a reason to vote against him before (and the reasons are many), you sure as hell have a reason to do so now.

We have shuddered at Mr. McCain’s occasional, tactical pander to the right because he has demonstrated that he has the character to stand on principle. He was an early advocate for battling global warming and risked his presidential bid to uphold fundamental American values in the immigration debate. A genuine war hero among Republicans who proclaim their zeal to be commander in chief, Mr. McCain argues passionately that a country’s treatment of prisoners in the worst of times says a great deal about its character.
McCain is a RINO at best, and an anti-Republican at worst. That the New York Slimes would give him a knob-job tells you all you need to know about him.

Ugh.
