McCain in the Everglades? Huh?

Did I get this right: John McCain is touring the Everglades today, to call attention to his voting against funding for . . . wait for it . . . restoring the Everglades! I guess the point is that he's a fiscal conservative, but there might be ways to make him seem tight fisted without slapping the environment in the face. (One way would be to oppose the Bush tax cuts, which he once voted against, but now supports.) What's next, a tour of emergency rooms to highlight his opposition to heath coverage for all?

I suppose it was too much to hope that he'd be eaten by an alligator.

And then a tour of Abu Ghraib to highlight his change of heart about torture -- I mean, waterboarding -- er, watersporting? Waterconvincing?
