McCain Asked for Hagee’s Endorsement

Doesn’t this simple fact, if it is correct, change those who were arguing that McCain can’t help who endorses him?
Over the weekend, as the firestorm over Barack Obama and his preacher, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, was reaching its maximum fevered pitch, some McCain supporters were quick to give their candidate the moral high ground. They said that McCain would never do anything like Obama.
But, when McCain supporters were asked about John Hagee, they would say that their candidate couldn’t help who endorsed him. If you pressed further and asked why he accepted the endorsement at a large press conference, there was no response.
Now, it seems that John McCain asked for John Hagee’s endorsement. Isn’t that something completely different?
I’m outraged.
