McCain Gets The Official Nod from Israel

Republican Senator John McCain, aka Mr. Potato Head, has been the subject of an extremely favorable article in the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz, which is Israel’s equivalent of the New York Times and which usually parrots the views of Israel’s political elite.
