Wash. Post's Cohen's double standard: Clinton's acts disqualifying, while McCain's numerous inconsistencies and falsehoods are "understandable"

SUMMARY: The Washington Post's Richard Cohen wrote of Sen. John McCain: "He's an honorable man who has fudged and ducked and swallowed the truth on occasion ... but always, I think, for understandable although not necessarily admirable reasons." By contrast, Cohen accused Sen. Hillary Clinton of "want[ing] to become president so badly that she has made the goal more important than how she gets there -- and now she has rendered herself incapable of doing an essential part of the job."
