John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) are just the latest example of the sorry state of our political discourse. Wednesday afternoon, McCain was working with two Democratic senators to request a Senate vote on allowing Montenegro, a small Balkan nation, into NATO. McCain spoke passionately on the Senate floor in favor of letting Montenegro in, most especially because it would serve as a direct rebuke to Russia. Paul said: “You know, I think he makes a really, really strong case for term limits. This week it’s two senators declaring each other “unhinged” and “working for Vladimir Putin.” Next week, it'll be … something else, I’m sure.
