"That's OK, Uncle John, I'll drive."
Almost lost in all the coverage and discussion of Barack Obama's remarkable speech today was the spectacle of John McCain making a ... well ... a spectacle of himself. Joe Lieberman did a spot-on impression of Nancy Reagan whispering cues to Ronnie, when he corrected John's blather about the "well-known" al- Qaeda/Iran connection. Seriously, I worry that America is in real danger of electing Reagan at the mid-point of his second term! I fully expect the newly-ordained Republican standard-bearer will soon begin every sentence with "Well..." and a sideways head bob. Look, as great an American hero as McCain was, as laudable as his years of public service have been, as tragic as it remains that Karl Rove didn't meet him first, at some point (and soon, I pray) we really need to take the car keys away from him, since he's rapidly becoming a danger to himself and others.

Am I the only one who wonders if McCain can make it through the campaign?
I think he's getting senile. I honestly do.

I'm not sure he'll make it through the convention.

Yesd, we should all constantly emphasize that John McCain is 847 years old. Seriously. I have relatives his age who we don't let near the stove.

Leave my great grandpa alone. You haven't heard of AQI (Al Qaeda in Iran)?
