McCain's Logic

I don't understand.

Senator John McCain (R-AZ) crossed a line in a recent response to Don Imus. Without Imus asking about it, McCain responded to a critics attack on his campaign finance reform stance, "I would rather have a clean government than one where quote First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I'd rather have the clean government."

Statements like that just make me nervous.

I haven't seen a full transcript, but that sounds pretty hard to distort.
