Ano, byl to v\u00fdznamn\u00fd poslanec a je to v\u00fdznamn\u00e1 zem\u011b. P\u0159esto m\u011bla mcCainovsk\u00e1 m\u00e1nie v \u010cesku zcela nep\u0159\u00ed\u010detn\u00e9 parametry.

Jen\u017ee na t\u00e9 p\u0159est\u0159elenosti medi\u00e1ln\u00ed pozornosti v\u011bnovan\u00e9 smrti americk\u00e9ho sen\u00e1tora Johna McCaina je nejbizarn\u011bj\u0161\u00ed ta m\u00edra pokrytectv\u00ed. Aby bylo jasno, otev\u0159en\u011b jsem podporoval McCaina v prezidentsk\u00fdch volb\u00e1ch p\u0159ed deseti lety. Mimochodem, v dob\u011b kon\u00e1n\u00ed republik\u00e1nsk\u00e9ho konventu, kter\u00fd ho potvrdil coby ofici\u00e1ln\u00edho kandid\u00e1ta na \u00fa\u0159ad prezidenta USA, jsem byl zrovna v poho\u0159\u00ed Cascade ve st\u00e1t\u011b Washington a byl jsem nad\u0161en z jeho nomina\u010dn\u00edho projevu a je\u0161t\u011b v\u00edc z projevu jeho nominantky na funkci viceprezidentky Sarah Palinov\u00e9. Chodil jsem tam s jejich samolepkami a p\u0159ivezl jsem si je sebou i do Prahy, kde jsem jimi vyzdobil i sv\u00e9 m\u00edsto v hospod\u011b, kam pravideln\u011b chod\u00edv\u00e1m. A tento sv\u016fj n\u00e1zor jsem \u0159\u00edkal i novin\u00e1\u0159\u016fm.<\/p>\n
Zapom\u00edn\u00e1 se na to, ale v tu dobu \u010desk\u00e1 m\u00e9dia nemohla p\u0159ij\u00edt McCainovi na jm\u00e9no. Byl zde popisov\u00e1n jako ne\u0159\u00edzen\u00e1 st\u0159ela, v\u00e1le\u010dn\u00fd \u0161tv\u00e1\u010d, ultrakonzervativn\u00ed zp\u00e1te\u010dn\u00edk, populista a extremista. Typick\u00fd kontrast, jak byl minul\u00e9 dny vychvalov\u00e1n a p\u0159ed deseti lety zatracov\u00e1n, p\u0159edstavuj\u00ed titulky \u201eJohn McCain a Sarah Palinov\u00e1 dr\u017e\u00ed bob\u0159\u00edka ml\u010den\u00ed\u201c (web \u010cesk\u00e9ho rozhlasu, 2008) a \u201eZem\u0159el klenot americk\u00e9 politiky\u201c (Reflex, 2018). <\/p>\n

A pro\u010d ten obrat od po\u0161klebov\u00e1n\u00ed k uct\u00edv\u00e1n\u00ed? To je jednoduch\u00e9. P\u0159ed deseti lety byl McCain u \u010desk\u00fdch liber\u00e1ln\u00edch levi\u010d\u00e1k\u016f, kte\u0159\u00ed ovl\u00e1daj\u00ed m\u00e9dia, zloduchem, nebo\u0165 si dovolil j\u00edt proti \u010dokol\u00e1dov\u00e9 hv\u011bzd\u011b, socialistovi a medi\u00e1ln\u00edmu mil\u00e1\u010dkovi. A pro\u010d je dnes naopak vyn\u00e1\u0161en do nebe? Proto\u017ee v posledn\u00edch letech \u0161el proti medi\u00e1ln\u00edmu otlouk\u00e1nkovi, liber\u00e1ln\u00ed levic\u00ed nen\u00e1vid\u011bn\u00e9mu Donaldu Trumpovi. Nen\u00e1vid\u011bl ho natolik, \u017ee se nechal na hlasov\u00e1n\u00ed p\u0159iv\u00e9zt z nemocnice, aby mu zabr\u00e1nil zru\u0161it Obam\u016fv syst\u00e9m zdravotn\u00edho poji\u0161t\u011bn\u00ed, kter\u00fd p\u0159itom s\u00e1m kritizoval. Prost\u011b Trumpovi za\u0161kva\u0159it. Jak jednoduch\u00e9. M\u016f\u017eete b\u00fdt i \u010f\u00e1blem, ale kdy\u017e za\u00fato\u010d\u00edte na Trumpa, stanete se v o\u010d\u00edch na\u0161ich (i americk\u00fdch) m\u00e9di\u00ed and\u011blem. A naopak.
